Moms--What time do you put your baby to bed?

it's usually around 8pm for us b/c dh doesn't get home from work until later.  wondering if i should start trying to get him down earlier though.

Re: Moms--What time do you put your baby to bed?

  • 8ish for us as well.  Somewhere between 7:30 and 8:30 is what we generally aim for.

  • Between 8 and 8:30 - any earlier and she would be up ridiculously early - she gets up for a bottle around 5:30-6 as it is now, then goes back to sleep until around 8. This schedule seems to work for us right now. (=
  • We start our bedtime routine around 7:30-8 (bath, feed, sleep). We aim to get her to sleep around 8:30 so we have some time to ourselves. But lately she's been falling asleep around 9:30-10pm.

  • 7pm.  Some days that's actually pushing it a lot.  DH gets home as early as he can (he used to be home between 8 & 9), but depending on traffic, etc., sometimes he only sees DS for 5-10 minutes.  DH does the bedtime routine (other than nursing, of course).  I'm struggling to keep DS at 7 because I'm worried about what will happen when the clocks change.  Suddenly, he will be ready for bed at 6!  Oy.  Don't know what we'll do then...
  • between 7:30 and 8pm

  • Around 9:30 since I'm a WOH mom, I don't want to come home and put DD to bed just a couple hours later. I figure she can make it up with naps the next day. I know the baby books say that's too late, but I think bonding is important too.
  • We still don't have anything close to a schedule with Reed.  He eats for the last time around 10:30 or 11. 
  • DS has been slowly moving his bedtime earlier lately. These days he is usually in bed by 7:30, at the latest.
  • Nate conks out on his own between 7 and 8.
  • Between 7:30 and 8:30, no matter where we are, he falls asleep(or gets cranky and wants me to help him get to sleep) around that time. He will sleep for about 12 hours, no matter what time he goes down,

  • Now that she'll only take one morning nap each day, she's ready for bed around 6:30 or 7ish. She used to go to sleep at 8.

    We start the bedtime routine at 6pm, so I've started coming home from work earlier and then working from home after she's in bed so I can spend more time with her.

  • My little girl goes to sleep around 10:30 to 11:00 because DH works out of town and I go to school at night and I don't pick her up til 9:30. I stay at home suring the day so she just sleeps til 9:30. This schedule is crazy to some people but it's what works best for us. It's like what you do when you work nights or 2nd shift, you just shift your schedule.
