Understanding 5-12 Month Sleep
By now, your baby can learn independent sleep skills. Understanding what's developmental vs. what's a habit helps you know when to address sleep challenges.
What's Normal
By 5-6 months, most babies are developmentally ready to learn independent sleep skills. Challenges are normal, but this is when you can make lasting changes.
Usually Normal
- Early rising (before 6am)
- Nap transitions (3 to 2 naps)
- Short naps (30-45 minutes)
- Separation anxiety (8-10 months)
Might Need Attention
- Schedule and wake window adjustments
- Sleep training readiness
- Night weaning guidance
- Persistent early rising despite schedule changes
Remember: Most early rising and nap challenges can be addressed with schedule adjustments. This is usually fixable, not a permanent trait.
