nope, 6 hrs is completely normal for many bubs!  There's a couple in my birth club who do 6 hrs in the am, 1.5 hr nap, 5 hrs in the pm then to bed.  So that routine looks pretty good there!

OK. Now I feel a little better. I "think" that is where J is headed. Today he napped after only 5 hours and he only napped for 1 hour. He went to sleep for bedtime 5 hours after that. Last night was pretty good too. A NWing for 30 min, up at 6, but I convinced him to go back to sleep until 7:30. I just need to find out how to do that without bringing him to bed with me. Ha-ha!!

I almost don't want to say anything because I am afraid I will jinx it. But J is following the 6, 1.5, 5 amazingly well. No fights for naps or bedtimes. He is SLEEPING!!! I am able to do wi/wo with no issue. It is amazing!!! Today he napped for 1.75 but I still kept the 5 hrs and I went into his room twice and he is now out. Could we possibly be there? Here is hoping it continues!!!!!!

I think we are there!!!! He is pretty much following the 6-5 routine. We have to tweak things at times. But generally he wakes at 6, naps from 12-1:30ish, and bed is at 7. I am hoping this continues!

Thank you soooooooooooooo much for helping me through this. I really appreciate it. I dont' think I would have survived without guidance!

Maybe my life isn't as bad as I think it is, because Thomas is pretty much doing what J is doing (only waking between 5 and 6 and having a NW or two some nights ???).  I think I just keep expecting him to sleep for 2 hrs or longer and it never happens, he still will only do 1.5 hrs max, usually 1 hr 15.  I guess I just have to wait this out and hope his naps slowly lengthen.

YAY for at least settling in to a consistent routine!!!  It's possible your bubs are just on the lower than average need for sleep - and their naps will just be a bit shorter.  Well done ladies!!!

Don't give up on the longer naps yet. Jared was only doing consistenly 1.25-1.5 hr naps and they have slowly lengthened. He usually naps between 1.5-2hrs now. HUGS!!! I hope T starts sleeping better for you!!

I am so glad to hear that J is on a good schedule again!  What a relief!!!  Thomas is doing pretty great too. last night we had the best night EVER, he slept from 8-8!  I'm sure it is in part due to our recent trip out east and the time schedule change-up, or it could also be that the night before last he had his WORST night in a long time (molars, I think) so he was catching up on sleep  . . . either way dad and I got extra snuggle time in :) YIPEE!
