Baby bedtime

snok83 · August 2013

What time do you guys put your baby down for the night? Since starting daycare I noticed our daughter goes to bed so much earlier. She normally falls asleep by 7 pm and then we have to wake her up around 5:50 am to get her to daycare/ work on time. She is sleeping thru the night.

Tonight she was out by 6. She is napping 3-4 hrs total in daycare. Does it seem enough? I was just concerned bc she use to go down around 9ish or is this normal for this age

I just went back to work and DS is already going to bed earlier. He goes down between 7 and 7:30. I wake him up around 530 to feed him before work. He isn't much of a napper, though... Maybe 1.5-2 hours tops during the day. As long as your baby is happy, growing, etc., I'm sure she's fine!

Mila has been on a nap strike (as in ZERO daytime sleep) for the past three days. This means tonight her bedtime was 5:45. It's insane.

DS goes to bed verrry early. Tonight it was 5:45 PM. He hasn't gone to bed later than 7:20 PM for quite a while. His usual is between 6:00 and 6:30. I have read that bedtimes tend to get earlier after 3-4 months of age, so it sounds like you are right on track there.

Between 8 and 9 sometimes wakes at 3 to eat sometimes 6

He starts hating life usually by around 7:30 and is in bed by 8. Sleeps until anywhere between 6-7am

B goes to bed between 7:30 and 8. She's up around midnight, 3 and 6 to nurse (she's in the bed with us, so I barely wake up to nurse her) and is up for the day between 8 and 9. She has three or four one-hour naps throughout the day.

DD usually goes down right around 8:30 pm and I get her up between 7:30-8 am

Bedtime is between 8 and 9. But he's up a lot: every 2-3 hours

DS passes out about 6pm every night. He sleeps from 6pm to 6am During the day the nanny said he takes only 1 nap for about 2 hours. When I was home he had about three 2 hour naps and slept from 10pm to 6am so my guess is he's exhausted.

Since starting daycare, her bedtime has been getting earlier and earlier. I just follow her cues but she usually starts getting fussy around 7:30 so we start our bedtime routine then (read, bath, feed, sleep) not necessarily in that order.

ETA: she usually naps for about 3 hours at daycare and is STTN

He seems to go in a 48 hour cycle of not wanting to nap and sleeping like crap at nite. Then he'll crash out and sleep well at nite. So, depending on his daily nap and feeding schedule, he can go down anywhere between 7 and 9:30. If he sleeps through, he'll wake at 4:30 or 5. If he doesn't sleep through he can wake between 2 and 4 times a nite. It is definitely crazy making.

My LO was going to bed around 7:30. More recently, she's been napping less during the day, and she's been out by 6:30. She'll wake up once or twice a night to feed and usually be awake for a little while, then she's up for the day around 6:30-7:00am. Sounds like your LO gets plenty of sleep!

DS goes down between 8:30 and 9 and is usually up around 6:30 or 7.

She's in her crib and asleep by 6. This was her own choice. Tonight she just fell asleep and it's 5:45. She is up for the day around 7.

suedell · August 2013

We do 6 or 6;30 over here. 3 naps a day any where from 45 mins each to 3 hours! Total sleep usually hits around 16-17 hours in a 24 hour cycle.

FutureMrsCAF · August 2013

Bedtime routine starts at 8:30 unless she's a cranky pants, like tonight (DH is getting her in jammies right now) She wakes up once or twice through the night, and wakes up for the day around 8.
