@Amanda_B16 Firstly, Its REALLY normal for babies to wake in the night,even for extended periods. If she is happy chatting to herself, I'd leave her to give the chance to get back to sleep on her own. Take a look at our blog post on the time change which should give you some tips!

@Etran This is tough! It's really normal to see these shorter naps at this stage. I hope they start to lengthen soon. For the time change, I'd suggest perhaps adding another nap to the day so that you can push through to a 6/6.30pm bedtime. It might not be possible, but worth a shot!

@Kelly_T Take a look at our blog post on the time change which should give you some tips! I like to suggest doing the change on Saturday but know that it might take a few days to adjust!

@Jlkubajak This is a great plan! Our blog post suggests making the change on Saturday but if you wanted to try Friday and Saturday, this is a great idea!

@Bekahleigh4 Totally a general suggestion based on a 7pm bedtime! If 5.30am works for your family, go for it!

@ParmR She is doing great! Take a look at our blog post on the time change which should give you some tips! Also take a look at our sleep schedule generator (MELANIE, PLEASE LINK). I want to make sure she is getting enough to eat during the day so she can work towards not eating at night to feed. Is she fully awake and ready to start the day at 5.30am? Can you try treating the 5.30am waking as a night feed?

@Marisssivo I hear you! Those early waking are hard to change! I think you are doing an amazing job. Take a look at our blog post on the time change which should give you some tips! I would suggest transitioning to the two nap schedule as best you can after the time change. I suspect getting him onto that schedule might help with the early rising.

@lwj1101 Its totally likely that this is due to her standing! Those shorter naps are fine, we see that most babies need a little less sleep during the day as they get older. I'd love you to TRY to have her stay in the crib until 6am. 5/5.30am is just brutal for most families! Take a look at our blog post for suggestions for tomorrow.
