How can i get my 7.5 month old to sleep in? She goes to bed around 6. Will wake up 1-2 times (around…

Push her bed time to 7 and two naps a day. How many naps is she doing? I do the 2 3 5 schedule. Nap two hours after she wakes up in the morning then three hours after she wakes from her first nap then five hours goes to bed after she wakes from her second nap. Just started this with my son and now he only gets up once and is up around 530/6

It will be rough the first few days but it works really well here

@ecahanes, she takes little catnaps all day long. She won’t sleep in her crib during the day, so i just hold her. I know that is part of the problem. If we try to keep her up later, she just screams and fusses. She has always been a terrible sleeper.

@bribohn20, ahhh that's your problem ...completely!! I know it's hard both of my boys are terrible sleepers. I forced a schedule on them. Like I said it will be hard probably take you about a week but each day will get easier. I think the first two days my second was super fussy by night crying crying crying where I just had to put him in his crib with his mobile and pacifier...I am no cry it out method mother and I still rock my baby to sleep but the crib is where he sleeps. I held them while they napped for awhile too but honestly my dear it will just get harder the longer it goes on. Try my method. It was a game changer. Rock her and put her in her crib she may only take a 20 minute nap but eventually (2 or 3 days) she will adapt. It's hard but it really will help both of you. Have her play in her crib during the day to make her feel like it's a safe place. I firmly believe everyone needs their own area (even babies) 😊😊

Babies really need a strong routine and thrive on it

@ecahanes, yes i agree. The problem is, she will cry in her crib for up to an hour (i can’t take it after that). And then just gets increasingly fussier and then she doesn’t nap at all. I’ve been working on it, but it’s so hard.

I don't want you to think that I think you are doing anything wrong. I completely know where you are coming from. You are so sleep deprived that you are just doing whatever works. But changing her schedule will help a lot in the long run...now I'm like super super strict on my boys sleep schedule...my parents and sister think I'm a little crazy lol but IDC I worked way too hard to get them on a damn schedule! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

@bribohn20, my second was really bad like that too where last week I was like ok I'm DONE I have a toddler I cannot do this anymore. So he would fall asleep then wake up when I would put him down and then I said ok then no nap for you!! It was a hard two or three days but now he's way better and sleeps up to 1 hour in his crib at nap 🙈🙊

@ecahanes, yeah I'll keep trying! I want her on a schedule! It would be so much easier. Plus she is about 20 pounds, so holding her all day is really hard on my back haha
