How sleep usually goes at 6 months old
Overlapping with starting solids, the daily rhythm gets more regular. A steady flow of bath, feed, then bed helps things stabilize.
What to keep an eye on
Teething or separation anxiety can cause temporary night waking.
aldagado's tips
- Keep a consistent bedtime flow (bath → feed → lullaby).
- Wrap up naps so they don't drift late into the evening.
