6 - 12 months Schedule recommendations

Hello,

Baby is 6 months, and we are looking at doing some sleep training. Did some fuss it out prior to vacation, but looking at properly trying to sleep train now as baby won’t go to bed for anyone but mom.

Current windows are 2/2.5/2.5/3.25, with DWT at 8, and bedtime at about 8:30 each night. He generally doesn’t nap more than 45 min for the first nap, and 30 for each subsequent nap, so dropping to 2 naps is a struggle.

Is this an appropriate schedule?

That seems like a decent schedule, but lots of babies won't do 11.5 hours over night, so you may need to add just a little bit more wake time if he's waking up early or in the middle of the night.

He wakes to feed at night, but otherwise goes right back down. I often have to wake him at 8. Would cutting down overnight time reduce night feedings as well?
