what time do you put your baby to bed?

lucy11111 · March 2013

My baby is 6 weeks old & so far I have just been bringing him to bed when I go, around 10ish. (he sleeps in play pen in my room). I'm thinking I should start putting him to bed on his own earlier. What time do you put your baby down for the night?

DS used to go to sleep around 5:00 pm every night.

6:30-7pm. Started that 2 weeks ago at 10 weeks. At 6 weeks I was still just letting him nap on and off until I went to bed around 10-11pm. I was on STD for 8 weeks & then took a week vaca, didn't go back to work until he was almost 10 weeks, so I w

We let her nap with us in the family room during the day- at night after we eat we get her changed into her sleeper and sleep sack and then put her down after she falls asleep- usually around 8:30-9. Our son goes to bed at 8 so its kind of nice f

DD is 10 weeks and she goes down usually between 7 and 8. She usually will wake up a few times within 10 minutes of going down, but once she's down she will sleep until 4 or 5 am most nights. Sometimes there's a midnight or 1 am wakeup but that isn't too

Right now, DS goes down anywhere between 7 and 10pm, sometimes 11 at the latest. He has his "bewitching hour" from 4:30pm to 7pm. sometimes he will nap around 7 and pop awake around 9, then he is down by 10 or 11 once I have swaddled him and put him in hi

DS goes down between 8 and 8:30 with his bedtime routine starting at 7:30. We've been doing this since we got home from the hospital.

Before the time change it was 7 pm every night like clockwork. We tried to keep him up longer but it didn't work. Now, it's around 8 or 830. I'm hoping over the next 6 weeks I can push it back closer to 11 pm. When I work I get home at 1 am and I

DD is almost 12 weeks old and has only had a "bedtime" for about 3 weeks now. We were doing it around 8pm when DS goes to bed, but every night she seems to want to go earlier...so it's been more like 6:30 or 7:00 now.

Before that, she was d

DublinMama · March 2013

Right now he seems to be going down for the night between 8 and 9, and that will carry him to sometime between 2 and 3 a.m. before he is up for a middle of the night feeding. Lately he has been going right back down, which is awesome. Then he will g

Depends on when we are feeding, but anywhere between 11pm and 1am. DH is home in the evening, so we make the most of it. Then if all goes well, it's only one feeding in the middle of the night to worry about.

mind u, DS is only 4 week

We put our daughter in her crib sometime between 9:30-10pm. But she will usually nap before that in her swing or our arms from 7:30-9.

Whatever works for your schedule is best. If you need time without him before you go to bed, then put him

She goes down between 8 and 11. DH usually snuggles with her on the couch during that time and I sleep. She eats around midnight and 3 am and then is up again at 6. We are working at developing more of a night routine as she gets a little older.

momofmanyinthemitten · March 2013

We bathe both kids around 6:15/6:30, so after jammies and nursing he's always too hungry to read at this point, it's about 7:30. However, he usually wakes after one sleep cycle to nurse one more time before he's out for a good chunk of time. He's 7wks.

NortyLeigh · March 2013

Between 8:30 and 9 typically. Between 9:30 and 10 is when he actually falls asleep. We put him in his cradle in our room when he starts getting sleepy. We put on white noise and his projector on. He flails his arms and legs around and grins at whatever is
