Last nap of the day around 5.30pm until 6pm, bedtime routine of bath, jammies, if it happens to be earlier or LO is v awake I place him in his cotbed to watch his light show/mobile for a bit, 6.30pm bottle, asleep by 7pm.

On a good night sleeps until 6am when wakes for bottle, we then have 30mins playtime on our bed, between 7-7.30am will start yawning and he'll then sleep until 8.30am-9am when we get up for the day.

The past week though things have been different he has been waking up anywhere between 12 and 3am, I just pop a dummy in and he'll drift back off, last night he did wake for a bottle at midnight though, I suspect this is down to a growth spurt as just started weaning as well.

Also, since hitting 5 months he can stay awake up to 2.5hrs in the day now rather than 1.5-2hrs.

We don't have a set routine. Harrison sets his own pretty much. We will start getting him ready for bed when he starts getting tired. Bath around 6-7 ish depending. Followed by his bottle then cuddle and sleep. In cot by 8 latest. Sleep til 6:15 ish with the occasional wake up. If so it'll be about 4. Then after his morning bottle he goes back to bed with me from 7-10. Happy mummy. Xx

Lo bath around 6-6:30, bottle bed. Waking 10-11pm for a bottle, then around 5-7am on a good night, on a bad night, he will wake for another bottle around 2-3am, but is starting to only take around half of it. In fact he is not finishing most of his bottles at the moment which I am a little worried about. Maybe its teething...

Editted to say we had to get rid of the dummy as he was going through a stage of three weeks og waking for it every hour...

Daytime naps at the moment are a battle!

LO is a bit all over the place still as hes coming out of his regression
but its jar of food at 6, bath at 7, bottle at 7:30 then swaddle and straight to bed. sometimes he sleeps through, sometimes he wakes once or twice for a feed, but he;ll always wake up for re-settling :/

Bath at 7.30, bottle straight after. Normally in bed asleep by 8.15. Sleep till 6.30 - 7 ish. Probably wakes on average twice a night for his dummy, sometimes more and occasionally less. Doesn't have a feed during the night (although I'm fearing this will change as his milk has dropped )

At 5 months Callum went to sleep at 8pm, then he'd wake at 2 - 3 am for a 6oz bottle, then go back to sleep til 9.30ish. This stopped at 6 months though when he started to sleep through xx

DS is almost 5 mnths, currently bath at 6 pm sometimes earlier if hasn't slept long enough in the day. Then boob then bed by 7-7.15 then wake him at 11pm for a feed then was sleeping through til 7am up until 3 weeks ago now wakes once anywhere between 3-6am. He does self settle for day sleeps and in the evening so not sure why he can't during that 3-6am slot but hopefully he will go back again

at 5 months my lo was waking at least hourly and having at least 2 night feeds!! he started getting slowly better at about 7 months but still wakes at least once now at just over 12 months and usually just comes in bed with me! he did sleep through for 3 nights about a month ago and thats when i dropped the night feeds.

do you keep him in a dim room or leave the light off when he wakes in the night? i always keep LO in a dim or dark room at night time so he understand lights off is sleep time. x
