Would you move back bedtime or just wake her up?

Currently Hazel's bedtime routine is 7 o clock bath, 8 o clock snack and then 9 o clock bedtime. However, she has started sleeping until 10. That means I sleep in late and I love it because being pregnant is pretty draining. It just kind of ruins the daily routine because she eats breakfast late and that hurts lunch and dinner. Should I move her bedtime up or should I just wake her up earlier?

I would put her to bed earlier. That is awesome that sleeps until 10 (I am so jealous) but you are going to be up a lot earlier when baby #2 comes along. I wouldn't wake her if there is no need.

i would choose putting her to bed earlier as opposed to waking her up. Or maybe, just give her something light in the am to keep lunch and dinner on track.

You may have to do both. She may not go to sleep earlier unless you wake her in the morning. But I'd definitely try to move her bedtime earlier.

I'm totally jealous. Charlotte is down between 7:30-8pm and up by 7am at the very latest.

As much as I would love to sleep until 10:00, I think 9:00 is way too late for bedtime.

I would definitely move her bedtime up, but be prepared for it to take a while. Unless she's crabby before 9:00 she's used to that time so it will take some adjusting.

I think we will move her up to 8:30. The sleeping until 10 is a very recent thing. She would normally wake up between 7 and 8. We have her at a 9 o clock bedtime because my husband and mom normally get home at 8 so she is wound up for an hour after they get home.
