Bedtime Poll (Sorry for below!)

spainy17 · June 2014

We are looking at a later Dc in the fall and DD has been waking way early so I think it's time to shift bedtime. When do your LO's go down? Bonus if you write waketime below

spainy17 · June 2014

Ok seriously I give up. The poll thingy keeps posting early. Sorry folks.

Myaflowers · June 2014

Sorry your poll won't work! I have no idea how to do a poll, lol. DD goes down for the night around 10:00 and is usually up around 11:00. DH works nights and is home with her during the day, so a late schedule works great for us. Bonus...I get to sleep in on weekends! When DD was younger, her bedtime was much earlier (around 7:30), but we were able to gradually transition to a later schedule starting around 9 months.

DD goes to bed between 7:30 and 8. Typically right around 8. And she wakes up between 7 and 8 in the morning.

DS#2 is down pretty much at 6:30. We keep hoping he will start going down later with DS#1 (7:30) since when DS#3 gets here the older boys will be sharing a room. No signs of that happening yet though! At 6:30, DS#2 is done! We got lucky and both boys sleep/play quietly in bed until about 8/8:30 on no-preschool days.

OK so do any of your little people nap???? I broke out ferber's book last night and it said that LO's rarely ACTUALLY sleep 12 hours at night at this age and that 10 is much more likely with a 2 hour day nap. DD sleeps closer to 2.5 hours, sometimes 3 during the day but 10 hours is our average at night. I cannot believe how many of you have the same bedtime as we do and have people staying in bed till 8am!!! She has never slept till 8 in her whole life, even sick.

My LO has never slept longer than 10 hrs a night either. Bedtime is usually 8ish and wake time is 6- naps are so unpredictable but I'd say 1 hr to 2 1/2 hrs per day

Myaflowers · June 2014

My DD doesn't always nap. Sometimes she will take a 30 minute cat nap in the late afternoon. With 12+ hours of sleep at night, she doesn't usually need a nap anymore. We stopped forcing naps a couple of months ago because she wouldn't be tired at bedtime (10:00 pm) and would be up until midnight!

BabyHope2013 · June 2014

DS goes to bed around 9 pm. I wake him up at 6 am m-f and on the weekends he will sleep in on his own till around 7:30.

ungraceful13 · June 2014

When she was getting up at 6:45 for daycare her bedtime was 6. When she doesn't have to get up that early it is between 7-8 unless we are out and she is ok. Then she gets up between 9-10am.

OhBaby+2013 · June 2014

6:30-6 but I wake him a 6. And he sleep anywhere from 1.5-3 hours during the day.

princessbmw · June 2014

Down around 8:30, up between 7-8.

Hollylb3 · June 2014

DS goes to bed at 8, wakes around 7:30, and naps from 11:30-1:30ish.

portentosa · June 2014

DS was going to sleep around 9:30/10pm, but I've put blackout curtains in his room and now get him down between 7 and 8pm.

It hasn't changed his wake time (6:30am) or his nap time (11am/12pm) at all, but he's been less grumpy during the day getting more sleep.

babygirlva2013 · June 2014

DD usually goes down around 730. Wake up is usually between 630 and 730

this decaf life · June 2014

Bedtime is 6, wakes up at 630-7

ETA nap is 1030-1/130

ReeceFamily · June 2014

I aim for 7:15 to 7:30, but sometimes its as late as 8:00 before she's in bed. She awakes on her own by around 6:30 a.m.

ConstanceGoodspeed · June 2014

Bed around 8:30
Up once or twice overnight
Awake around 6:30
2 or 3 hour nap midday

Wild_flower25 · June 2014

7-7 is average she takes about an hour and a half nap

I know she doesn't sleep all night, I hear her talk sometimes or even whine, but I ever have to go in there (knock on wood) to settle her back down (unless she is sick).

ema10 · June 2014

Bedtime is 7, but he doesn't usually go to sleep right away. During the week he wakes up around 6:15. Naps are about 2 hours.

RedGiant · June 2014

My guy goes to sleep between 7:15 and 8 pm

Wakes up about 2 times during the night

Gets up for the day at 6:30 am almost on the dot (even with blackout curtains and noise machine)

Takes a 1 hour nap around noon, sometimes I can convince him to snuggle on me and sleep for another hour in the glider while I snooze or surf the internet on my phone.

ambmama · June 2014

Taylor goes down between 7:30 and 8 and is up somewhere between 6:30-7:30. When he rarely sleeps later than that, I always worry lol. He just shifted from 2 naps on weekends to one 2-3 hr nap per day. He's always slept extra (it took him until almost a year to get out of 3 naps a day).

buttabean14 · June 2014

Berkley goes to bed at pretty much 7:30 on the dot. When I was teaching I'd have to get her up around 6:30 to get off to work in time, but now that its summer she'll sleep till 7:15-7:45. She also takes a 2-3 hour nap around noon every day. We don't use a baby monitor anymore, since her room is ridiculously close to ours, but I don't think she's waking up at night.

Nope. My DD is a 12-hour sleeper, non-napper. She usually goes down between 8 and 9 and I don't see her until 8 or 9 the next morning. Then we have a veeeeeerrryyy long day together!
