What time is bedtime?

gothgrrl · April 2013

Along the lines of schedules...what time does your little one hit the hay? I know all babies are different, but when we tell folks our 12.5 month old daughter goes to bed between 8:45-9pm - we get looks. Tell me about your toddler! Thanks!

DD is almost 2 and bedtime is between 7-7:30pm. She sleeps at night for 11.5-12 hours and has a 1.5-2hour nap.

8:45 -9pm seems late to me but it depends on what time she wakes up.

Our son has been going to bed between 8:30 and 9 since he dropped his second nap, before that he was going to bed much closer to 10pm.

FabulousMrs.P · April 2013

Usually at 8pm. We are usually up at 6:30 in the morning to get ready for daycare/work.

crh1221 · April 2013

Depends on the day for us. Weeknights usually 8-8:45. Weekends, she's up until 9:30 sometimes. It also depends on if she needs a 2nd nap. 2nd nap=later bed time for us and that usually happens on the weekends only.

6:30ish- wakes up (7ish on the weekend)

12-3- Nap

7:45- Bedtime

When DD was 12.5 months, she was still on two naps (9am and 1pm). Bedtime back then was 7 or 7:30.

My LO goes down between 8 and 9. It's verging on the later end of the spectrum now that it's getting dark later.

wntrgrl83 · April 2013

It used to be around 7:30, but since they have started to do more (crawling, and moving around more), bedtime is now like 8:30pm! We do try to do a little earlier, but they seem to be handling it well.

Mountaineers · April 2013

Ah, gotta love "the looks." DS is asleep around 9. He only takes 1 nap from about noon until 2ish. But if we put him to bed any earlier than 9 hes up 1-2 times a night. Dont know why, its just always been that way.

7p.

But we have to be up between 6-7a during the week, so he needs to be in bed early enough to get adequate sleep. If we could sleep in later then we'd have a later bedtime.

So long as your LO gets sufficient rest, what difference does th

dns05 · April 2013

My 12.5 month old is usually down around 7:30 p.m. It might be a bit closer to 8 p.m. if her afternoon nap is longer or later than usual. She's up around 6:30 a.m. If your daughter is getting adequate sleep and that schedule works well f

aandg · April 2013

She usually goes to bed between 6:30-7:00 and wakes up around 6:30.

Tink112011 · April 2013

DS sleeps from 7:15pm - 7am. Since he has to be up by 7am to go to daycare, he has to be in bed early to get all the sleep that he needs. He isn't a very good napper at daycare (1 hour), so maybe if he took better naps he'd be able to go to

secretsout · April 2013

He usually goes to bed at 8, and is up between 7 and 8.

12bailey18 · April 2013

DS is 3 and goes to bed at 9. He's gone to bed at that time for almost 2 years. He's still usually up by 7. He's an early bird.

DD is 21 months and goes to bed at 8:15. She's usually up by 8.

Both take good afternoon naps.

blu-eyedwife · April 2013

Sometime between 7:30 and 8, depending on what time we do dinner and how long bath takes.

CindyRelluh · April 2013

Dd gets a nap from 24 or 35, then bed by 10pm. She sleeps usually until 10 or 11 the next morning.

phillyfan929 · April 2013

mbgreenwalt · April 2013

She sleeps from 7:30-8:00pm to 7:00a. She also gets a 3 hour nap everyday.

chardonnay24 · April 2013

Between 8 and 8:30. It's been his bedtime since he was about 5 months old. He gets up between 7 and 8 in the morning.

michelle7482 · April 2013

14 month old goes to sleep btwn 7:15 and 8. She wakes up at 6:30, and takes a two hr nap around 10 am.

brooke82308 · April 2013

DS is very programmed and pretty much asks to go sleepies around 7:30. The only time it doesnt happen is if i had been working a full day and wasnt home with him all day. then ilet him cuddle but then he usually is asking by 8. He is up by 6 in the mornin

diana.filipi · April 2013

My nearly 14 month old son goes to bed sometime between 6:30 and 7:30. I am a lot less strict with it all since he's our 2nd and he shares a room with his 3yr old sister.

GirlyGirl319 · April 2013

Between 7 and 7:30

namara5532 · April 2013

Don't feel bad about the late bedtime. A friend of mine has a son a couple months younger than DS who goes to bed closer to 10pm. He, however, sleeps in until 10am. My friend is a SAHM, so it's NBD to her family.

My DS goes in t

lindslalala · April 2013

Between 7 and 8pm. 7:45pm is what I aim for.

footnotegirl · April 2013

DD is 14 months and currently goes down to sleep between 8 and 9, normally right around 8:30. Sometimes, I will admit, later on weekends when we've been 'caught out' and stayed out shopping/eating/whatever for too long.

We are super happy w

NohNah · April 2013

7:30 pm for my 19 month old but that's so he can get enough sleep before we have to get up, and leave for work and take him to daycare. If I stayed home with him I wouldn't necessarily put him to bed that early.

Natty13umppo · April 2013

DD's bedtime has been between 7 and 7:30pm for as long as I can remember. She sleeps til 7-8am and is now down to just one nap (~12:30-2:30) at 17 months.

You can't win the bedtime game. We get "the look" from DH's family all the time
