How many naps does your 6.5 month old have per day?

We were on 2-3ish at that age with both.

And another late night for us. DS went down at 8:15 pm. We had our fingers crossed that he would keep on sleeping through the night, but nope, he woke up at 9 pm and was wide awake. It is now 11 pm and he just fell asleep. So, technically he had 3 naps today, but the first one was long (over 2 hours), so maybe that's the problem. Tomorrow is another day.

I'm sorry. I hope tomorrow is better. Do you wake him at the same time every morning? Getting a routine (not a strict schedule) might be really helpful.

As you say though, wonder week / teething / hitting milestones derail even the best sleepers!

2 x 2 hour

Up at 5am
Nap 8-10isham
Nap 12:30-2:30pm
Bed at 6pm

Sometimes 3 naps (and all are shorter) if teething

Today was better. DS didn't wake up at all last night (he stirred and made noise, but settled himself back to sleep). So he slept from 11 pm to 7:45 am. He had 3 naps today, but we had a little trouble at bedtime. DH finally got him to sleep at 9 pm, but within 15 minutes he was awake again. It took another 45 minutes to get him back down. We're hopeful that he has another good night. Thanks for the support!

My son is 8 months old. He takes between 2 to 3 naps during the day and sleeps through the night 12+ hours.

Wow aliss, P can stay awake a nice long time in the evening, jealous! I struggle to do anything or go anywhere with Sophie and her 2 hour awake times

Same here. We're constantly planning our day around his nap schedule and my pumping schedule. Most times we just end up staying home to avoid the hassle.

LO sleeps at night 7pm - 7.30am, so during the day has 2-3 naps each never more than 45 minutes.

My LO is almost 7 months and has 3 naps a day usually. She wakes at 6.30-7ish and has her 1st nap around 9, this one can last 45mins-2 hours!! usually an hour and a half. 2nd nap is around 1pm for 30-45mins and then her last nap at 4-4.30 for half an hour. Then bed at 7ish. She doesn't usually wake in the night.

2-3 but mostly 3, if she just has 2, she is very cranky!!!

7am- wake
8.30am- nap (one hour)
12pm- nap (one hour)
2-3pm- nap (one hour)
7pm- bed (sometimes 6.30pm)

Maybe LO is tired and wants to go to bed earlier?

2-3 naps here. One about 2-2.5 hours after waking for the morning, another about 2.5-3 hours after that and sometimes a short nap about two hours after that one before bed.

Thanks! We've tried putting him down earlier, but then he just ends up waking up again. We've put him down at 7 pm before and he's woken up at 8 pm, ready to play. Right now 8:30/9 seems to be his preferred time.
