Episode 40: Sleep at The Six Month Stage

 
Show-thumbnails.jpg

Baby Lucas is 6.5 months old and waking very frequently at night. He’s waking up and needing help to get back to sleep every 2 hours at the moment which understandably is causing everyone a sleepless night!

I’m never going to stop sharing the message that it’s totally normal, your baby isn’t broken and you aren’t doing anything wrong if your baby is:

  • taking short naps at 6 months old

  • waking for a night feed (s) at 6 months old

  • not sleeping through the night at 6 months old

However, if their wake-ups are super frequent, unsustainable or simply not working for you, chances are there are some small and caring changes that could make a big difference.

Join me and Lucas’s Mum Emma for this consultation episode and we’ll talk through together:

  • Normal infant sleep at 6 months old

  • The six-month-old sleep switch

  • And the pressure to get sleep sorted by 6 months old

  • Baby eczema

  • Lucas’s sleep story at 6 months

  • Lucas’s sleep suggestions to support him to a more settled night sleep  

Emma and I had a great chat and I really hope you find it useful and reassuring too!
