Baby's nap at 6 months

An established routine will help your 6-month-old get through the nightly sleep phase.

  • Most 6- to 9-month-olds sleep 14 to 15 hours a day, and up to 8 hours at a time for the luckiest parents.
  • If this is not the case, don't worry: every infant is different. Many babies still wake up at night to feed.
  • Two or three naps are still very common at this age, but the schedule has become routine and the last nap should not be too late, to facilitate the evening nap.

Wake window might be a little too long. Try having them go down between 1hr 30- 2hr. It may take a while to get them used to. Try a shh video on YouTube and a dim room for the first couple of days

Help 😭 my girls 7 months old & shes always slept well bedtime at 8pm wake up at 7/8am but recently she wont fall asleep till 10pm ! Her 3rd nap has been late lately around 630-7pm which i figure is the reason but no matter what i do she refuses to take her nap earlier could it be shes cutting down on her naps from 3 to 2 ? Any advice would be helpful !

Just curious if anyone else has experienced feeling terrible after naps, I'll be 5 months this next week, & haven't had any sighn of morning sickness at all. ONLY after a nap do I throw up & get a huge migraine? Anyone else? I wake up at 4 am for work, so it's really hard not to nap later on in the day.. please help this momma out. I couldn't keep anything down on Friday after taking a nap. It's been getting worse as the further along I am. 🥺

Try to snack before a nap and drink water. Could be that you’re hungry/dehydrated.

Can you rush to the hospital? I know you don’t want to take your babies but it sounds very serious. Or call the ambulance to come get you?

From what I've learned, your babies sleeping habits can change often. There will be times where he will be able to sleep peacefully and other times he will not. If you feel it's a really serious concern because you do know him best, maybe you should schedule an appointment with his pediatrician.
