Sleep schedue

[Star3129]

Hi Mommies, My baby turned 6months yesterday and i am wanting to know what i can feed him,how much n how many times.

Also if someone could help with how to teach baby to sleep without the "sleep training" i just can't take to much of cry and it was ok for me to contact nap but now i have to prepare the things for him which will be difficult while holding. How many naps and hrs of sleep should he be doing

I typically hold him,shush n pat him to sleep also nurse him to sleep so these are the associations, he is teething as well.

Sorry too many questions but i find this forum wonderful with so much experience without any judgement.

My baby started to roll at 4.5 months but not now and sits with support only so i am now worrired regarding the milestone, i am FTM so super worried with all this.

Please mommies share your experience and any suggestions welcome

hey. It can be stressful can’t it? You’re doing great I promise don’t worry too much about the milestones, my friend’s baby was a lot slower than mine at the milestones. You could always get a bumbo chair. I think this helped mine sit earlier.

In terms of sleep training we did the difficult one. We first moved dd to her own room and then we did the sleep training. Best thing we ever did really. She’s been a great sleeper since. But it relies on not picking them up once you start. And letting them cry. The first night is the worst and I got my partner to do it. You first do it at night then on naps. Mine has never napped that well at home. But it really fixed bedtime and bedtime is now 7 and she wakes sometimes in the night but we don’t go in if we can help it as she puts herself back to sleep. And wakes around 6.30 ish mostly.

You need to break the nursing association too. We found once we sleep trained she went through the night and didn’t need feeding. It doesn’t work for everyone and you have to be firm and stick to it but for us it worked wonders.
