Hi Shawna,
Thank you for visiting us! I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble getting your baby to sleep through the night. His schedule looks good based on his age. Most babies this age are nursing once at night, so it may be that he is waking due to a sleep association with the breast. We have an article describing sleep association here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/sleep-association/
And an article on weaning some night feedings here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/baby-night-feedings-age-chart/
I hope those help!

6:30- wake/ nurse
9- nurse/nap (about 1- 2 hours)
12:30-nurse/ nap (1- 1 1/2 hours)
3:30- nurse
5:30- nurse/ nap (45 mins)
8-nurse/ bed

He usually wakes up around
10/11 pm
3 am
5 am
He has woke up at these times sense he was a newborn. Every time he wakes up I nurse him. He shares a room with me and my husband. Will moving him into his own room help him sleep through the night? Thank you for your time.

Hi Ashley,
I’m so glad to hear your daytime schedule is going so well! I’m sorry to hear you’re struggling with nights, though. If you’ve ruled out any ongoing health issues, then the most common reason for a baby this age to wake repeatedly at night like you describe is hunger. Some babies this age do still need 1-2 feedings per night. If you think it might be hunger waking her, you can try feeding her when she starts crying, and if she goes back to sleep pretty easily after feeding and doesn’t wake again right away, then you know hunger was the issue. If she eats and then keeps waking and crying, then you’re more likely dealing with a sleep association. You can read more about sleep associations here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/sleep-association/

I hope this helps, but please get in touch if you have any questions!

Hi Anna,
Thank you for using The Baby Sleep Site as a resource! These schedules are samples, but we do recommend that babies this age still get most of their nutrition from breastmilk or formula, which requires at least 5 milk feedings a day. If you’re trying to reduce night feedings, you still need to keep the same amount of food in your 24 hour day, so your baby doesn’t wake hungry, so this schedule (and that clustered approach) is a way of trying to get that food in during the daytime hours, instead of waking at night to eat. I hope that makes sense – please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi @Ania, thanks for writing to us. I am honestly surprised the daycare only gives their 8 month olds one nap, unless she is in a class with older children (which would make more sense). I understand it is so difficult to find the right daycare situation for your family, but of course you will want a place that will give your child what she needs as well. If you’re able to shop around and look at other options that perhaps has a less broad aged class for while she’s young, it may be worth it! Here is a link to an article on how daycare can impact your child’s sleep so you can have it on hand with whatever you decide to do: https://www.babysleepsite.com/sleep-training/how-daycare-impacts-your-babys-sleep-schedule-and-habits/
I hope this helps!

Hi Christina,
Thanks for your comment on The Baby Sleep Site! I’m sorry to hear you’re having some trouble with your 8 month-old’s sleep. From your description, it sounds like she ma be going through the 8 month sleep regression. We have a great article with a lot of information about this regression that I hope will help you here: https://www.babysleepsite.com/baby-sleep-patterns/8-9-10-month-old-baby-sleep-regression/
Good luck!
