Question

My 5 month old goes to sleep at 11pm, will wake up at 2-3am and stay awake until 5am then will wake up around 8-9am and stay up until noon, then sleeps until 6pm!! He's completely ass backwards. I've tried cutting naps short. I've tried getting him up earlier. But nope. Nothing. Tips?

Answer

I currently nanny a 6 month old and they hired a sleep coach. His naps are now like clock work! He wakes up at 7 and if he doesn't, we wake him up, he goes to sleep at 9, then sleeps until 11 (if he is still asleep we wake him up). He then goes back to sleep at 1 and that nap you're supposed to let him sleep as long as he wants because it's when he grows the most. Then depending when he wakes up he usually takes another 30 minute nap at 3:30. But all together including night time he sleeps 14 hours. And if he doesn't sleep as much as he should each nap then we keep him up for two hours and lay him down for another nap. I hope this all makes since

Answer

Make a schedule that you would like him to follow and start following slowly but surely. My sister's had to do this they started by delaying the naps by 20 minutes then increasing it slowly till they were on the schedule they had set.
