I think at 8 months, Xander was going to sleep around 7:00/7:30, doing a dreamfeed at 9:00, sleep until 5:00, nurse and back to bed, and then up for the day around 7:00. He was a catnapper, so he was usually up for 2-2.5 hours and then would take a 30 minute - 1 hour nap.

Out of curiosity, why are you waking her from her naps?

B is 9.5 months but our days are similar to when he was 8 months. Bed at 7/7:30, wake to eat around 5, up for the day at 6:30/7, first nap at 9:30/10, then second nap anywhere from 1:30/3:30. His naps fluctuate from 30 mins-2 hours.

That sounds great! At that age, LO slept about 11 hours overnight with a nap at 9 and 2, usually about 1hour 15 min eahc.

@MrsB2012: haha, I used to wake Xander from naps when he was an infant and I wanted to make sure he didn't get his days and nights reversed, but at 8 months, you can probably just let her nap! I'd only wake her up if her late afternoon nap was getting too late and would interfere with bedtime.

@MrsB2012: I think it's so great you are getting some good naps now! Don't wake her from them!

L has slowly gotten into the 2-3-4 sleep schedule and our schedule sounds somewhat similar to yours. She sleeps from about 7:30pm-7:30am and then goes down for her first nap at 9:30. She goes down for her second nap 3 hours after she wakes up. Then bedtime is about 4 hours after her second nap. She usually has a 2 hour nap and a 1 hour nap, sometimes the long one is in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon. I find now that L is crawling around, she is having longer naps. It's also nice that she can stay awake for longer periods of time too.
