When do you put LO down at night and when do you go to bed?

carolinakiwi

When do you try to put LO down for bed each night?

Also, when do you go to bed? Do you go to bed when LO goes down, or do you stay up a little longer?

Also, comment on approx how long your LO sleeps between feedings/diaper changes at night?

LO goes to sleep at 8, I go to bed between 9 and 10, he gets up at 2:00, and 7:30. But it took a long time to get to this point. At one week, he was up every two hours to eat, and I slept when he did.

He goes down between 900 and 930.  I usually go to bed shortly after that (get up at 530).

 He sleeps at least 5 hours until 230...sometimes 330.  He usually eats then and I usually change him, but not always. 

I have to get him up between 6 and 630 for another feeding before I leave for work and DH takes him to the sitter's/

My older son (2.5 yrs old) goes to bed at 8-8:30pm and my twins (almost 3 months old) go to bed at 10 and get up between 4-5 am, then back up around 8.  My DH & I go to bed immediately after the twins.

My lo (3 mos old) goes to bed around 10:00 and gets up between 5:30 and 6. I go to bed around 11:00.

Usually LO is down by 10ish and I go to bed by 10:30.  She then wakes once during the night (or makes it all the way to 5-something). 

Last night she fell asleep on me, and I was asleep too, so we got up, together at 1:30 for her to eat.  She had gone 7 hours inbetween feedings.  If it works out tonight, we may put her to bed around 7 or 8pm, and see if we can just do a 1am feeding and then make it through...we'll see.

BTW...every night is a little different...

We bed-share. DS is the only one who sleeps in his own bed (he is 21 months now).

DD, DH and i go to bed at 10pm. DD sleeps until 5am when she wakes to eat and  I change her diaper then. After eating, sShe goes back to sleep until 8am and then wakes up for the day with a few naps in between until night time.

She's going down for the night between 7 and 9. Usually stay up and hour maybe 2 after her..depending on what needs to be done, shower and things like that. Right now she is sleeping for about 3 hours before needing mommy/diaper change.

I am so bad at sleeping when she sleeps still.

DD goes down between 7:30 and 8:30 most nights. We usually don't go to bed until 11 (really need to work on that).

This week, she's extended her sleeping until 5:30 am and then I'm trying to get her to go back down until 7:30 or 8. I'm trying to avoid changing her unless she's pooped, but that's hard for me.

dd goes to bed around 10-1030 and sleeps until i wake her to get ready for daycare at 810.  weekends sleeps until 930-1030am.  i go to be around midnight or 1.  we have been super lucky as dd sleeps 10-12 hours since about 6 weeks.  rarely she will wake around 530am and eat and go right back down.  i know if i ever have another it will not be like this... lol   1ht

between 8 and 9 I start the process. New diaper, PJ's on and read a story while I do the last feeding of the night.  It usually takes me about an hour to do everything and get him settled down and fully asleep.

He has just started sleeping a little over 5 hours the last two nights. When he wakes up we do a diaper change and I feed him again.  After that he only sleeps about 2 hours at a time, so I usually go two feedings before I change his diaper again.

We usually start our bedtime routine around 6:30 or so...we do a bath, change his diaper, feed him, and rock him for a bit. He's usually asleep between 7:30 and 8. We go to bed around 9:30 or 10. Lately, he's been sleeping until around 12:30 or 1, then he doesn't usually get up again until 6:00 or 6:30, when he is up for the day.

LO goes to sleep between 8:45 and 9:15. All depends on when her last nap was.

I try to be in bed by 10 but sometimes don't fall asleep until 11.

For the past two weeks she has either slept from 9-6 will eat and go back down for an hour or two. Or she will wake up between 3-4 and sleep til about 8. it has varied.

You can have two good sleepers. DD#1 was sleeping 9 hours or so at about 6 weeks and DD#2 is headed that way as well and they both are great nappers. True she is only 7 weeks but so far so good!

We try to put him to bed between 8 and 9.  He will wake up once during the night (feed and change diaper), anywhere between 2:30-4.  Sometimes if we're lucky he'll go until 5 or 6!  

We go to bed at 10 or 10:30.

Hunter goes to bed between 8 and 9. The only time that I have by myself is after he goes to bed so I normally stay up until midnight. He will get up between 5 and 6 for a feeding/diaper change and then goes back to bed until 8.

Elliott goes to bed about 7:30 and usually wakes up one during the night around 3:00. He usually does a long stretch of about 7-9 hours then he wakes every after 3-4 hours to feed again. He's up for the day around 8-9.

I wish he would go to sleep later so that we could lose the 3:00am feeding, but he's ready for bed early. I do like the alone time after he falls alseep though. I usual stay up until 11-12.
