Bedtime and how long your LO is sleeping at night?

schmood · January 2013

Last night, I put DS down for what I thought was going to be a catnap around 6:15pm after a nursing session. It's not uncommon for him to take a catnap for about 30-45 mins after getting home from DC. He still wasn't up by 7:30 and I was feeling crappy and tired, so I decided that I'd just go to bed and drag myself out of bed when he woke to feed him. Well, I rolled over at 11pm and realized he hadn't woken up yet. I went in to check him and he was still sleeping peacefully. I was up again 2 more times to check him and still sleeping peacefully. So, finally he starts stirring around 6am, which is his common wake-up time. Not sure if it was a fluke or if we're starting on 12hr nighttime sleeps!

Just curious - what time do you put your LO down and how long do they sleep at night?

EDIT: prior to last night, he was going down anywhere between 7:30-9p and sleeping until anywhere between 5-6:15a

He's usually in bed by 8, although some nights there may be something going on and he's not asleep until after 8:30. Then 2 wake-ups, lasting anywhere from 15-30 minutes (depending on teething issues and how hard it is to transition him to his bed after eating).

On a good day, he wakes up between 6 and 7. Sometimes that's affected by DD coming in and waking us up.

The last few nights he's been sleeping for a whole 5-6 hour stretch and not waking up until after 7:30, so I'm hoping this is a new trend.

S is in bed between 7 & 7:30 it is a total crap shoot as to how long he will sleep could be til 5, usually more like 2:30ish. Although last night he was up from 10-11.

I fed DD about 8:30, she is asleep and in her bed by 9pm, her normal wake up time is 6:30am.

Ideally, Luke is laying down around 7 lately, he wakes up around 3 to eat (5-10 min max) then sleeps til 545. If we are really busy he will be up until 8 but that's just our fault not that he's not tired

We were putting Matt to bed at 8pm and he was waking at 1am, 5am, then up for the day around 7am.

However, our Dr switched formulas right before Christmas, and he was sleeping all night! Like from 7pm-5am, then 6a-730a.

With teething this past week, its all over the place. He is still going to bed at 7pm, but getting up around 11 or 12am, then around 4am, then up for the day at 7am.

I'm hoping he goes back to sleeping all night. I. am. exhausted.

The boys go down between 8-9 and normally up 630-7.

It depends on the day. "Usually" dinner is at 6, so bathtime is around 6:30, and once the bedtime ritual is completely, bedtime is around 7. Sometimes it goes until 7:30. He will then get up to eat every 2.5-4 hours to eat, which takes about 6 minutes from fuss to me crawling back in bed. He's up for the day at 5:30, but that's because we're busy getting ready, and I always nurse between 5:30-6 before leaving for work.

Some days, he only takes one nap, so at 4 or 5 when he gets home, he crashes for the night. He still wakes up to nurse, but then goes right back to sleep and wakes for the day at his normal time. I always feel bad, because he doesn't get to eat dinner on those nights.

Bedtime 7-8ish. And sleeps till about 6-7ish. She might get up once a few times during the week. Usually its for a soaked diaper or can not locate the paci in her crib. But she goes right back to sleep.

6:30 or 7pm til we wake her at 6am. We are actually trying to drag out her bedtime til 7pm so we have more time with her after work.

DD is usually in bed between 8:30-9:30pm. I dreamfeed before I go to bed whatever time that is (norm btwn 11-12). She wakes 6-8am range for a bottle & goes back down til 8:30-10am range. However, since she's sick with an ear infection she hasnt been going back down for that last hr or two.

Most nights he is going down anywhere between 7 and 8 and he sleeps up until 6-7. Last night he went down about 730 and slept until 630. The nights he wakes up its usually around 2 or 3am and that is mostly because he is sick or teething. I will feed him a small amount and he goes right back down.

LO nurses to sleep at 7pm, falls asleeps at 7:30 and wakes up between 6 and 7 each day.

He's been on that schedule since about 4 months old. Not sure how long it will last!

Sleep stinks around here. I usually put DS to bed around 7. He wakes up between 8 and 9, then usually goes for 3 hour stretches at a time until I have to get him up for daycare at 6-ish.
