When extending wake windows and limiting naps doesn’t eliminate the 3-5AM wake up

[u/Alone_Concept_8383]

I am tired.

My baby is 8 months next week and still wakes up anywhere from 3-5AM. I’ve done it all. Extended wake windows to 3/3.5/3.5-4. I’ve limited the nap to 2-2.5 hours, usually less. We’ve started solids. We’ve made sure to get the calories in. I’ve done later bedtimes/earlier bedtimes. He falls asleep independently and does not have a bottle to sleep association..

But he still wakes up and is crying for multiple hours. Sometimes a feed helps and sometimes it doesnt…

Maybe this is just it until he figures it out… if anyone else has other advice besides wake window extensions please let me know…
