Sleepy baby!! -

Sleepy baby!!

Sometimes my son wants to go to sleep at 6 at night but than he wakes up around eight and doesn't go back to bed till 10 or so. I don't know if hes getting to much sleep because he sleeps till 6 or later. How much sleep should an 8 month old be getting? He has two one hour naps during the day!!! But at 6pm he gets soooo cranky you can't do anything for him!! Anyone have any ideas?

hi Shelby,
I have been having trouble getting Emilie on a good schedule, she too gets so tired around that time. I found some info on how much sleep they should be getting. I hope this can help.

two one hour naps doesnt sound like enough. my girl is only 5months old but she takes like 4 or 5 45 minutes to an hour naps during the day and then goes down around 9 adn wakes up between 6-7:30, better too much than not enough i would think. try having him take more naps and then skip the lst one. then he will bemore tired around bedtime. thats what works for ella.
