What's your typical daily routine?

Question

I joined a sleep training group on Facebook and I'm amazed (and depressed) by how few naps their 6 mo olds are taking, not to mention sleeping through the night!! Ours still doesn't sleep through the night and tends to nap at least 4+ times a day. Maybe I should really focus on sleep training her. She tends to get up at 6 am but haven't been good with sticking to a bedtime lately. We usually try to have her down by 8 or 9. Tell me your schedules please!

Answer

Sounds totally normal for a 6 month old, doesn't "need" to be trained...
Wake up around 7
First nap 1-1.5h around 8:30
second nap 1h around 12/1
Third nap 30-45mins around 3/4
Bedtime 2.5h after last wake up
3-4 night wakings

Answer

You should try moving bed time earlier, that can help a lot. It's recommended for bedtime to be between 7-8 at this age.

Answer

No schedule because my work start times are different every day and she goes to 2 different day cares. We go with the flow and she sleeps when she’s tired! Only thing that stays the same is our bedtime routine and trying to get her to bed around 7:30ish. 
When she’s home with me or daddy she takes maybe 3-4 short naps usually. Like 30-50 minutes. At daycare she gets one long nap or 2 short ones maybe. There’s no consistency whatsoever and honestly she’s just fine. 😊

Answer

Wake up anywhere between 6:30-7:30. Nap 1.5-2 hours after that. Naps anywhere from 1-2 hours and then another wake time of 1.5-2 hours and normally a bigger nap 1.45-2.5 hours then One more wake period then a smaller nap. I won’t let her sleep past 5 and then she goes down between 6:30-7. Kind of sleep training but mostly she did her schedule herself. I followed and then helped keep up with what she was doing.

Answer

-Wake up for the first time at 6:30 or 7 am, I nurse him & he goes back to sleep until 9-9:30.
-first nap around 11. 
-second nap around 3 or 4. 
-bedtime around 8 pm
Some days it’s different, but this is our routine most of the time 😊

Answer

My babe has been going to bed at530pm since last month, she’ll be 6 months soon. Her naps suck and usually range from 30 minutes to an hour (maybe). We have a bath and bottle before bed and hardly get to a book because she knocks out in 5 minutes she sleeps practically through the night. Wakes up once for a bottle and that’s it

Answer

Our schedule isn’t 100% consistent due to older sibling pre-school schedules. 
Wake up between 7-8am
Nap around 10:30am (usually a long one...I wake him up by 12:45 because I have to leave for work)
Nap around 4pm (usually short...my husband says 30-45 mins)
Bedtime around 7:30 (no later than 8pm)
He usually sleeps through the night. If he wakes, he babbles to himself and has a little crib party. I never go to him unless he’s crying.
