One of the biggest mistakes parents can make is having an arbitrary bedtime that’s too late for their baby. They think that if the keep the child up later, they will sleep in later. This is a fallacy.
Congratulations! You’ve made it to the 6 month mark where things generally get a little easier. A this age babies can stay awake a little longer and you have bigger windows to get out of the house and do more things for yourself without compromising your baby’s sleep.
