If sleep is a struggle for your 7 month old, consider some of these common culprits:

Sickness or teething

-
Being ready for increased wake windows
-
Needing to drop a nap and/or too much daytime sleep
-
Developmental progression
Another major reason that your 7 month old may struggle is that they simply don’t have the foundational skills needed to sleep independently. Not sure how to teach this? The 5-24 Month Collection will give you a step-by-step plan to 10-12 hour nights in the crib. It will cover bedtime, night wakings, night weaning, early morning wakings, and naps through the first two years of life.
Is sleep training okay at 7 months old? #anchor
Yes! Babies are usually developmentally ready for sleep training by five months old, which means it is okay for your seven month old. But, the best time to sleep train is when you decide this is the right choice for your family. If you’re not sure, I’d love to share the story of how I decided sleep training was right for my family. If you decide you’re ready for sleep training, it’s so important to have a plan and guidance you can trust. My 5-24 Month Collection will do just that: I’ll teach you everything you need to know to have a great little sleeper, while remaining emotionally connected and present every step along the way.
Should I use a sleep sack for my 7 month old? #anchor

I love sleep sacks. A sleep sack is a sleeveless zip-up bag your baby can wear at night (instead of using a blanket). I recommend them because they’re safe, keep your baby a comfortable temperature, and help cue the brain that it’s time for sleep. Check out my blog all about Sleep Sacks to learn more.
Should my 7 month old still have a night feeding?#anchor
Many (and maybe even most) babies can sleep 10-12 hours through the night without a feeding at seven months, but some babies do best maintaining one.
Whether you’re looking to wean night feedings or want to continue night feedings but establish great sleep, The 5-24 Month Collection can help. My gentle and gradual approach will help you reach your sleep goals for your seven month old.
How much solid food should a 7 month old eat?#anchor
When starting solid foods, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
Breast and bottle feeding are the main source of calories for your baby during the first year. As you expose your baby to solids, it should never replace bottle feeding or breastfeeding. If your baby is experiencing sleep problems after starting solids, make sure daily caloric needs are met with breast milk or formula since night wakings will happen if day calories are insufficient.
But this doesn’t mean you have to limit your baby’s solids. Here are a few guidelines to help:
-
Avoid rigid feeding schedules.
-
Offer the breast or bottle every 2.5-3.5 hours during the day according to your baby’s hunger cues.
-

Offer solids 30-90 minutes after breast or bottle feedings.
Is there a 7 month sleep regression?#anchor
We do often see a sleep regression between 8 and 10 months, but babies can experience sleep “regressions” for many reasons. If your baby’s sleep is suddenly disrupted, please know:
-
Sleep issues at seven months could be a sign it’s time to transition from 3 naps to 2.
-
Developmental strides happening around seven months – from an increase in physical abilities and mobility to emotional and cognitive abilities- can impact sleep.
-
An increase in distracted feedings around seven months affects sleep as well. Minimize distractions during feedings to prevent night wakings caused by hunger.
-
Separation anxiety may also begin to cause sleep problems at seven months.
