Early Bedtime for 4 month olds

asbreb · November 2011

If you put your 4 month old to bed around 7 to 8pm, how long do they sleep?

Right now, our little guy zonks out around 8pm at night, but we still feed him around 10:30 to 11:00 (he pretty much sleeps through this feeding). He sleeps until sometime between 6am and 7am. Wondering if we put him down earlier, if he will still sleep that late.

I don't put DD down early, she goes to bed about 9:30 (and wakes up between 8 and 9 am). But, the few times that I've tried moving it up in increments she thinks it's a nap and wakes up 30-45 minutes later and then is super hard to get down again. The few times that she's zonked out earlier for whatever reasons she got up an hour or so earlier, too.

My daughter will fall asleep around 7 and wake up once between 11-1am to eat, and then sleeps til around 615 when i get up for work. My bf will feed her and it is my understanding she'll nap again until 9ish. I would love to try to push her bedtime back a bit, but lately she has been resisting a nap during the day and so by the time 7 comes around she's totally exhausted lol

DS goes to sleep between 6:30pm and 7pm, and wakes up around 6am. Before the Daylight Savings time change, he was going to bed between 6:30pm-7pm, but waking up around 7am. So technically, he's going to bed an hour later now, but waking up at the same time as before. I wish I could change it!!

wow..I must be in the minority...DS goes to sleep anywhere between 8:30-9:30 and then gets a bottle around 10-10:30, then usually up every 4 hrs to eat. Sometimes he goes longer, or a few times STTN but it usually always up by 5-6am for the day. Needless to say, not a fabulous sleeper.
