6 Month Old Sleep Schedule

DD just turned 6 mos.

Wakes between 4:30-5:30 for a bottle. Sometimes goes back down for an hour or two.

8:30ish - solids and bottle (most of a Stage 2 and 6oz)
9 - 11 nap
12 - solids and bottle (most of a Stage 2 and 6oz)
1-3:30ish - nap
4 - solids (Stage 2)
6 - bottle and bedtime (7oz bottle)
Sleeps through until about 5am. Rinse and repeat!

I'd put your little one down much earlier and eliminate that late afternoon nap. You might find that she sleeps a little better overnight. At 6mos, overnight feedings tend to become more of a habit for comfort, rather than a need.

When you get four or five hours of sleep it's a full night. If the baby has teeth give her/him rice cream cereal at 8:30pm and you will get more sleep.

At 6 months, it sounds like an overload of sleep! But every child is different. The morning nap sounds really long to me if she's going right back down at 1pm. But the one from 5:30-8:30, then back down for bed at 9? Really? If she didn't have a 3 hour nap before bedtime, she would likely sleep a lot longer at night which would take out the 11:30 feeding all together. But it isn't bothering you, then that's up to you. Her only being awake 7 hours a day in a 24 hour period sounds like a 2 month old's schedule. At 6 months, both of my children were napping from 10-11a, and then from 2-4p and that was it.
