So my daughter is 6 months old. Gonna be 7. I give her her last bottle at around 9:30-10. And she…

If you're up for cry it out....or a variation of it, that's what I did just after 6 months. If he woke up in the night time I would let him cry 2 mins and then 5 and then 10 (each time going in and giving his soother). Same thing goes if he woke up earlier than the time I wanted his scheduled wake up time to be....he learned to fall back asleep and now we do a 7-7 every night, maybe 30 mins earlier or later but he never wakes up at night and it only took a few days before it worked!! Good luck

my boy is 6months old now.. he used to sleep around 9ish and wake up at 8ish.. for the past few days he is sleeping before 7.. and he wakes up at 6 but he never wants to eat before 8.. i left him some toys in his crib.. when he wakes up he plays with them and when he is tired of being alone he cries... i hear him play but i mever get up before he cries...

Mine doesn't sleep until 10pm when she has her last feed but she will wake up at 4am. We dream feed her and she goes back to sleep until roughly 8am. Even if she falls asleep before 10pm she will still wake up at 4am to feed. Yeah, it's difficult but babies aren't meant to sleep through the night. Their brain development is going so rapidly that it will make them wake up more often than us regardless of bed time. Everyone is different, but I personally don't believe it's good to make babies conform to our sleep patterns since they aren't hard wired for it. The only thing we do differently is that we are sure to have a bottle ready at 4am so she doesn't fully wake up and starts crying from hunger. She'll feed half asleep and like I mentioned, will just pass out again when her belly is full. Making it easier for all of us to go back to sleep again.

@eze.love @sunshyne76 @brynsmommie I don't have a problem with her waking up during the night really. Lets say her last feed is at 10pm she'll fall asleep at around 8-8:30 and sleep until 10. I'll pick her up and change her bum as soon as I get the bottle in her mouth she's out again. When she's done I bring her to her crib and she stays asleep until about 7-7:30. Which is fine. I don't need her to wake up later. But it would be nice if I could put her down earlier and not have her wake up in the middle of the night. I guess all babies are different and if I'm doing is working for now I should stick with it but she will have to start going to bed earlier eventually and that transition is what I'm scared of haha

then wtv routine you have for bed time do it earlier... and keep it calm and relax until she falls asleep.. she wont start sleeping earlier right away.. but eventually she will

If she did start waking up earlier like say 4 am if you put her down earlier in the evening, then that's when I would just do CIO until she realizes that's not the proper time to wake up. Also how many naps does she take? Once we dropped nap #3, we had no problem doing a 6:30-7 bedtime because he was so tired. I also run a business in my home tho so I with my daughter things were done a lot differently because we had nothing we had to get up for in the morning and we liked a later bedtime and to sleep in!!

Or another thing to try would be if she falls asleep at 8-8:30 then let her CIO at 10 when she wants a little bit more of her bottle, you could go to bed earlier if you didn't have to do that feeding! Hope whatever you decide, works for you :)
