Sleep routine for a 6-month-old baby

1 reply

AnonymousGuest ·
Hi!

My baby is 6.5 months old and for a while now she's been sleeping really terribly. During the day she used to sleep 2 or 3 times and now only once, for 1 to 2.5 hours.

And then at night... She used to sleep 12 to 13 hours and now only 10 or sometimes 11...

So in total about 12 hours. That's way too little. Do you guys have babies who do this too? Is this a phase?

She gets up around 6 am and normally if I put her in my bed she'd sleep until 8 am. But now she absolutely doesn't want to anymore.

You can tell she's getting tired but sleep... Yeah right....

    Hi, that's pretty normal at this age. It'll get better on its own. Do you happen to have a baby wrap or sling? If you see that she's tired and absolutely doesn't want to sleep, put her in it and go for a walk... they often fall asleep like that (that's my own experience).
