Babies: 0 - 3 Months

what time does your 11 week old go to bed?

My LO had been going to bed between 9:30-10:00 but two nights in the last two weeks has been getting so tired that he has gotten himself all worked up to the point of throwing up. I guess I am missing the cues. :-(

 

Re: what time does your 11 week old go to bed?

  • My DD goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:30, depending on how busy the day was and how she napped that day.  We try to sit and cuddle with her for a little while at the end of the day, so she usually gets pretty sleepy while we're doing that

  • Bedtime varies because I put him down after his last bottle - he is on a 4 hour feeding schedule (FF).  Last night his last bottle was at 10:15pm, so he was asleep by approx 10:45pm - he didn't finish his bottle!  Other nights his last bottle is closer to 9pm, so then he goes down by 9:30pm.   I have debated started a regular sleeping time because for example if he has a bottle at 6pm and then I put him down at 8pm (if that is the time we want to make bedtime) he will just wake up 2 hours later to feed, so I would rather keep him with us until his next bottle so he can get a good 4 hours of sleep if not more.  Does that makes sense?

  • LO goes to sleep anywhere from 8:30-9:30.  She just started rubbing her eyes when she gets really tired, so when she does that we put her right to bed.

     Have you tried starting your bedtime routine earlier? DD was going to bed at about 10 for a while and it took forever to get her down, and she'd throw some pretty big fits. Now, I start turning the lights off at 7 and try to put her down by 8.

  • DD will be 11 weeks tomorrow.  We start getting ready for bed between 7:30 & 8.  She is generally asleep within 15 minutes of being put down.  She usually wakes up at about 3 to eat and then 6:30 to start her day.

  • My LO usually naps in her swing from about 7:30-8:30 (we eat dinner, clean up, etc.) and then we start her bedtime routine (bath, book, bottle - I pump while DH gives her the bottle).  She's usually out by 9:30.  She used to sleep until about 6:30 but since we stopped swaddling her, she's been getting up at 4:30.  Then she sleeps again until about 8:30.  No complaints here!
