Great info! Wish I would had known that when my son was little. He wasn’t a good sleeper till 9/10 months old. Then we did the wind down before bed like you talked about. We still do that 10 years later and we kept him on a consistent schedule. Around that 10 months he would sleep about 7 hours wake up at eat then go back to sleep for another 2-3 hours. But that was with one long nap right after lunch time. We never let it run over the time we had set. At 11 years old now he’s in school and sleeps from 8:30pm-7am! And they sure need it 🙂
@@jamiestanley9234 thank you! Oh my gosh yes, having a routine to wind down helps so much! Shoot, that’s even helpful for me 😅 my son’s still not the greatest sleeper at 16 months but every time we go through a regression we figure out something, like the things i talked about, that makes it a little better
@@aria9615 understandable!! It seems like most babies go through phases where they sleep pretty good and then have a hard time so even though I’m sure there are some that don’t sleep well most of the time, I don’t think that’s the norm. You get through it though and they’re so precious, it’s all worth it 😊🫶

Baby sleep is literally the thing that scares me the most about having a baby.
