Ok mommies I need some help ... This is kind of long because I included a schedule but I am desperate ... As you see it's 2:45 AM and My son is almost 7 months old is wide awake and here lately he has gotten way off schedule and I can't seem to get us back close to any normal schedule ... I'm a stay-at-home mom but we still need a schedule. Right now this is our awful schedule :
10 PM - bed time
12 AM - wakes for bottle usually stays up until about 3
3am - back to sleep
6am- awake to take my step daughter to bus stop, bottle and back to sleep usually pretty quick
*here is our problem he will sleep until about 10-11am and stay awake until about 6pm no nap during the day wide awake and full of energy*
6pm- he falls asleep
8 PM awake until 10 PM and the cycle starts again!
I have tried bath time, oatmeal or baby food at bedtime, trying not to over stimulate him in the late evening ...
I just don't know what I am doing wrong ?! HELP!

I know it is dear but try and remain calm. for bathing time try to use like lavender for him it calms you down and puts you to sleep. I really hope this helps. I'm going to check up on you tomorrow before 8pm to see how yall day was

@sadezbenz, I'm hoping if I wake him up earlier he will go to bed earlier ... This has been going on for about a week! I am exhausted!

I would also change his bed time to 8. 10 may be too late for him and that may be because of the long naps.

I always feel guilty waking him because I know he needs the sleep but I'm gonna try that tomorrow because i can't keep doing this ... Momma needs sleep!

maybe try waking him up earlier than 11? and get him to take a nap way earlier? i know that's easier said than done..but you probably just have to deal with him being really sleepy and fussy for a while until he gets used to taking a nap sooner..cause that nap is what kills you ..idk
