7-8hours ang wake hours

Hi mommy! Totally get the concern, 7-8 hours awake is quite a stretch for a 6-month-old, honestly. Most babies that age do better with shorter wake windows, usually 2-3 hours max between naps, kaya by the time nandyan na siya awake from 4pm to 11pm or midnight, napaka-overtired na talaga. Yun pala ang reason why some babies get harder to settle pa, the longer they stay up, the more wired they get. The good news is madali lang i-adjust once na nalalaman mo na ang sweet spot para sa kanya. Some mums I know nag-try ng earlier bedtime routine (like 7-8pm) and nag-spread ng daytime naps better, at nakita nila sobrang improvement sa sleep quality at morning mood. Since dumedede pa siya ng 3-4am, it sounds like siya ay still figuring out his rhythm, pero kung ma-manage mo yung daytime wake time, mas likely na mas long at restful yung gabi niya. Worth checking in with your pedia or lactation specialist din, especially kung worried ka sa feeding schedule at kung sapat na ang milk intake niya throughout the day. They can give you a more personalized plan based sa baby mo specifically.
