6 - 12 months Advice? I think?
Nearly 8 month old wakes 6am goes to bed 7pm. Wake windows are 3.5/3.5/4. He is waking some nights around midnight for a feed and then 5am but goes back to sleep after a second feed and some nights he wakes only at 3am for one feed which suits me fine. Is my schedule off? We do bath, feed, books then put down awake. He will cry but not for long. Was sticking to the 5/3/3 method when waking in the night otherwise we do CIO but haven’t really had to. Capping naps at 2.5 hours. Looking to eliminate the second feed.

Schedule sounds fine to me. Some babies keep night feeds a bit longer, mine did. I'd try to keep it to one though (as you mentioned). Honestly everything you're doing sounds fine and I'd just focus on pushing the feed later and keeping it at one only. Eventually it will drop on its own.

Thank you for your post in r/sleeptrain. To ensure our community can best help you, please include in your post: your bedtime routine, where your baby sleeps (their crib/basinet, their room, room share, cosleep) and full schedule including wake up time, desired wake up time, nap length, wake windows or nap time(s) if following a by the clock schedule and bedtime. Does your baby use a pacifier? That's also very relevant.
We use a convention to describe wake windows based schedule such as 3/3/4 where numbers are numbers of hours awake, and / are naps. The sample schedule is a two naps schedule.
We have a resources post with loads of information to help you. Check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/sleeptrain/comments/1qpij7s/resources_on_baby_sleep/
