What time are you putting LO to bed?

karomel0828 · December 2010

I'm putting him to bed between 8:45-9:15? Does that seem late?

He gets home around 5:30-6:00 from daycare.

mrs.n22 · December 2010

Between 7-7:30 We get home around 4:30 or 5. He needs 12 hours of sleep.

HoonFan · December 2010

I think it depends on his schedule. My DS goes to bed between 7:30-8. He's up around 6:45 every morning and takes one 2 hour nap from 12:00- 2 and gets home around 6 as well.

Lopo · December 2010

He goes to bed at 8. We get home from daycare at 4:30.

jbl126 · December 2010

The girls get home around 5:15 and are in bed anywhere between 7:15 and 7:30.

hersheykiss · December 2010

Between 6:30-7pm, we get home around 5pm.

hi_dn@hotmail.com · December 2010

Home from daycare at 5pm in bed sometime between 7 and 7:30 sleeps till 7 am. He still takes two naps most days. I am lucky I have a great sleeper. But boy when he is awake, he is all over the place!

sam19 · December 2010

7 pm.

I really think it all depends on your child. There is no possible way I could get mine to stay up later. She's just tired by 7. Just do what is right for your child. I don't think there is any perfect time for kids to go to bed.

M+K=3 · December 2010

We get home around 5:30-6 and he goes to bed at 8.

macchiatto · December 2010

Around 7:30, give or take half an hour depending (on whether we're out in the evening, how well they napped, etc.). They sleep about 12 hrs at night.

buboo · December 2010

7:30-8, wakes up around 7a and naps for around 2hrs/day. My LO needs to go down at 7:30-8 though because unless he is sleeping he is literally running around all day long.

Liss_37 · December 2010

he goes to bed at 7pm, and sleeps until around 7am

Scooter359 · December 2010

8-8:30. Sometimes we will lay in bed until 9 but not often.

ToledoDeux · December 2010

7 pm.

achase123 · December 2010

Usually between 7:30 and 8. He was just hanging out last night around 7:30 and then grabbed his blankie and pointed to his bed and said "nigh nigh". So I guess he was tired!

staceyanseeuw · December 2010

DS goes to bed at about 7:30-8:00. He has at least one 1 hour nap a day, sometimes two.

fairychick77 · December 2010

Between 6:30 and 7.

ljlkm · December 2010

7:30.

returnhomegnome · December 2010

"They" say kiddos need 14-16 hours of sleep a day until they hit, what, 2-years-old?

Our LO is in her crib from 6:30-6:45ish to 7:15am ish every day, then takes a two or three hour nap around noon.

We used to keep her up late (when she was really little) and she'd sleep late, but it seemed to totally mess with her day time sleep. When we started putting her down at 6:30pm we saw a HUGE improvement in her daytime and nighttime sleep.

jason&robin · December 2010

7:30

TarheelsInNJ · December 2010

We're on about the same schedule... he goes to bed around 8:30, and gets up around 7:30 or 8. This works well for our family. I get home from work around 7, and so if DS went to bed much earlier I'd never see him! And I don't need to be at work until 9:30 so the later morning is better.

Melanie.Brown · December 2010

7:30. She doesn't usually last much later than that. She's usually walking around with a blanket, signing for milk and saying "nigh, nigh" around 7:15. She gets up at 6am and usually has two 1.5-2hr naps per day.

Leila'sMommy · December 2010

7:15 every night.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · December 2010

8:30 is the goal. She sleeps 12-13 hours per night with one long nap at around 11am- noon.

jenn_darrin1515 · December 2010

we get home from daycare about 5:15 and the girls go to bed at 7-7:30...they get up at 6:30-6:45.

aniceucchik · December 2010

between 730-8 and hes up at 7am, with one nap from 10a-noon/1ish. He does NOT sttn, however.

jesssy1204 · December 2010

DS goes to bed between 9-9:15. I do feel like its a little late but he sleeps until I wake him up at 8am. And he still takes two,two hour naps a day. I wouldnt worry about it, if it isnt broke dont fix it IMO

*KC*luvs*RJ* · December 2010

DS starts getting tired around 7:30, so usually start bath between 7:30 and 8:00 and he's in bed by 8:45 most nights. He set his own schedule when he was younger. He still sleep 12+ hours each night.

tabi_ja · December 2010

Between 8:30 and 9:00. I cannot get the child in bed any earlier or he screams until 8:30 or 9:00. Do what works for you and your kid.

bobcatsteph · December 2010

We get home between 5 and 5:30. She goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:30.

Quiksilver620 · December 2010

DD goes down between 7:30 - 8:00 and gets up arounf 7:00am

Quiksilver620 · December 2010

DD goes down between 7:30 - 8:00 and gets up around 7:00am

bwm2bmw · December 2010

It does seem late to me but we reach meltdown by 7pm, if not I'd maybe let her stay up later. She naps in the car on the way home from daycare between 5-5:30 and then it's dinner, bath, books and then bed at 7pm. She wakes about 6am.

Tomkat8403 · December 2010

She goes to bed 8:00 and sleeps until about 5:00. I guess if I pushed her bedtime back she'd sleep longer, but I really need some time to decompress before bed at night.

haleymay18 · December 2010

Grace is entering her 2nd REM cycle by 915. She goes down at 7pm

cmbrown · December 2010

DD goes to bed around 9-9:30, wakes at 7ish. Takes a 2 hour nap around 12. She won't go to bed earlier, but honestly I love this... I get to see her so much more. We get home from work/babysitter at 5:30.

KathrynMD · December 2010

We go upstairs between 7-7:15. Depending on whether its a bath night or if we need to read 5 books, I am normally back downstairs about 7:45/8 at the latest. I think the earlier she goes to bed teh better though. If I start after 7:30, its a total cluster.

krisim · December 2010

Usually around 6:45pm. DD sleeps until 5:45-6:15am most days and barely naps at daycare, so she's usually yawning when we get home from daycare at 5:45. If only she'd nap at daycare, she'd probably get to stay up a bit later at night.

9pm seems late to me, but you have to do what works for you.
