2 YO Bedtime?

LIbride1006

What time do you guys put your 2yo down for the night? Also how many hours sleep do they get? I think my little guy is so overtired and it is making him a cranky child in the late afternoon. He is down to a 1-2 hour nap mid day at school, but I also can't guarentee that is happening since I am not there. Thanks for any answers.

He no longer naps, unless we take a car trip during the day, then he sleeps while in the car and for a bit after we get home. 

We start bedtime routine at 715, he's in bed by 8....but he has started to wake up VERY early (6 or so), so I think I'm going to stretch the bedtime to 830.

Both of my kids (2 and 4 1/2) go to bed around the same time. 745-830. Depends on how tired they are. Sometimes we have special nights where they get to stay up later, if they're not too tired.

DD goes to bed at 8:00 and takes a 1-2 hour nap in the afternoon.  If for some reason she doesn't nap, then bed time is 7.

She gets up at 6am.

DD is in bed around 7:45. I know she stays up for a bit b/c we can hear her chattering away- sometimes for nearly an hour. I get her up by 7 on weekdays. Weekends she's in bed more like 8:30 and sleeps until 7:30ish. Weekday nap is nearly 2 hours at daycare and on weekends 2 1/2 - 3 hours. She seems okay with sleep, but it can be mighty hard to get her up in the morning!

DS goes to bed around 8 but probably doesn't fall asleep until around 8:30 and he usually sleeps until around 7.  Although probably around once a week he gets up super early, as in 6:20ish or so.

She goes to bed at 7 pm, is usually asleep somewhere between 7:15 and 8 and wakes around 7, give or take.  She also has a 1-2.5 hr nap during the day.

My 22 month old goes to bed at 8pm and wakes up at 6:30pm.  He also takes a 2-3 hour nap at daycare.  I would say he is getting enough sleep!?

With my DS we start "cuddle time" at about 7:15-7:25, we turn down all the lights in the house, read books, sing songs and tickle and things like that on the couch in the living room with the tv on too (DH can't miss his football or news or whatever!)

Then at 8ish I let him know it's time for bed and he runs to his bed and jumps in, we read his nigh-nigh book (goodnight moon) and kisses and i'm outta there by 8:10 and he's out by 8:30

He wakes up anywhere between 7:15-7:45.. if it's a crazy day he'll sleep until 8 and then we wake him to get ready for daycare.. DH drops him off on the way to work about 8:45..

At DC (which is also grandma's/MIL's) he is down to about a 30-45 minute nap

griffin goes down at 7:30 and typically wakes up between 6:30 and 7.  He takes a 2 hour nap during the day.

Ben doesn't go to bed until around 10-10:30 and sleeps until 8:30-9:00. He takes a 2-2 1/2 hour nap during the day.

DS goes to bed around 9pm and sleeps til 8am. If he is extra tired or we were out all day and he didn't get a nap he will go down by 8:30. If he takes a longer nap he will stay up until 9:30. He usually takes a 2 hour nap every day.
