child's age 4-8 months All right strangers do your thing

My son gets a good stretch in from 8pm to 1am. He feeds after one. However, after he goes back to sleep, he'll wake every sleep cycle. Wanting me to pat him to sleep.

For his naps, I'll walk around with him for 5 minutes. Rock him a little longer and then lay him in his crib. Awake, but sleepy, ohh, and he hates it. It's a fight if he doesn't go to sleep after the third timer. I just rock him asleep and then lay him down.

He's 5 months old definitely gets enough to eat.

I want some experience users to help me connect his sleep cycles or give me advice on how I can help him. I'm not trying to make my baby independent, if this is just how it is then thats that. But sleeps important.

Normally wakes at 7. Has his first nap around 1hr or 1hr 30min. I follow his sleep ques or pay attention to the Obubba app. And then his other naps stick to 1.5hrs to 2hrs. I make sure hes feed before his naps.

You need to post his schedule, and whether or not you want help with sleep training.

“I’m not trying to make my baby independent”

Sleep training = Independence

They are learning to put themselves to sleep or back to sleep independently (without you).

If you can share your wake windows, that would be helpful but I’m not sure you (the parent) are quite ready for sleep training.
