Bedtime

Michellelasenburg · July 2014

Just curious...what time is bedtime for your baby?

MamaFantastic · July 2014

Almost 3 1/2 months now, and I aim to put her to bed sometime in the 8 o'clock hour.

joyfullyfound · July 2014

He starts losing his shit at 6:00 pm, so he sort of set that bedtime for himself. Gradually I'd like to push it back a little later... DD goes down at 7:00, so that would be perfect.

AcaAwkward · July 2014

DS is 3 months and still goes to bed between 9-10 with little to no real routine. I started our routine and 7 pm bedtime with DD at this age, but she was nowhere near STTN and DS sleeps from 9-10 pm until 6-7 am most nights. I'm too afraid to mess with his groove to start the early bedtime now.

snowbound · July 2014

Sometime between 8 and 9pm.

misskristina21 · July 2014

Between 8-8:30. She started this herself about a month ago.

cd92007 · July 2014

Usually around 9 or 9:30 (we start the routine around 8 or 8:30). I don't get home from work until 6:30 so it makes me so sad to think about a 7pm bedtime!

Michellelasenburg · July 2014

Those of you who put your LO's down around 8-9, when do they wake up? My girl is sleeping from about 10-6 with the occasional wakeup. I would like to get her down a little earlier, but I want to keep that 6am wakeup time for when I go back to work!

babybarnes87 · July 2014

We start bedtime around 7 and he's usually asleep anywhere from 7:30-8:30.

misskristina21 · July 2014

She sleeps from about 8-8:30 til about 6-6:30, takes a bottle and goes back to bed for another 3 hrs. Then after that she only takes 30 min naps.

steph1977 · July 2014

Between 7 & 8 - we dream feed around 10

Cecilbear · July 2014

Feeling like a bad mom reading these bedtimes! LO just hit 2 months and falls asleep around 9 every night. I usually wake her up to feed before I go to sleep at 12. Sometimes she skips that 9 pm "nap" altogether!

chichi589 · July 2014

Whenever he falls asleep. We do bath pjs around 7 for both kids. DD goes in at 8 and he eats usually 8:30 and whenever he falls asleep is when he goes in the RNP. Bring him in the bedroom when we go to bed.

UnofficiallyLO · July 2014

DS is usually asleep by 9:30-10 & if not he will fall asleep when we bring him to bed. He sleeps until 4-5 to eat then until 7.

LizChad09 · July 2014

Baby Girl goes to bed around 8:30 and sleeps until 7:00 or 7:30am. Loving that she sleeps through.

rtv3 · July 2014

DD goes to bed at midnight and is up for the day at 9 or 10. She wakes up to eat at 4/5 and 7/8 although she sometimes skips the 4/5 feeding which is awesome

We start bedtime routine at 11ish: bath, lotion, pj's, lights off, nurse, swaddle, and she's down around 12.
Right now this is the perfect schedule for us but I don't know what I'll do when I go back to work at the end of August...

AmberLiz99 · July 2014

7pm. She set is for herself around 3 weeks old, and it has stayed the same ever since.

Linnea503 · July 2014

I aim for 7. Sometimes it has to be later if he takes a 4th nap.

This almost exactly...except we dream feed closer to 10:30-11.

belindahampton · July 2014

It seems like a different time every night... he pretty much tells us when he's ready which typically means a little freak out session. We've tried a routine but it never seems to stick. Sometimes he'll be tired around 7:30... other times not until 9:30/10.

Hes 13ish weeks.

hpanabaker · July 2014

DS started out going down around 9/9:30, he has moved himself a little at a time and now goes down around 7:30/8. Usually he's up around 4, eats and goes back down until 7ish. He's 11 weeks. Looking forward to losing that MOTN feeding.

He generally STTN 9-6. I've found that even when he goes to bed earlier or later, or even if he does get up once to feed during the night, he still ALWAYS gets up at 6:00. It's like he's a little alarm clock.

fourthnlast · July 2014

Depends, usually between 8 and 9, but the last few nights it's been 10:30. It will change again, not a worry right now!

Sheybre · July 2014

About 7:30 we do bath then last bottle and down between 8:30-9... She will usually be out until 6-7. No complaints!!! \:D/

LittleLady77 · July 2014

Oh man, I'm jealous of all these babies who STTN! We start bedtime routine between 6:30-7:00 and we do walk, baths, bottles, book and bed. It usually takes an hour to get both through the routine and down but my colicky boy will usually wake up and scream several more times before he finally goes down. My daughter is super easy.

olenkapdx · July 2014

It's been as late as 10:30 but I've been trying to push back an hour this week. I'll need to wake her earlier when I go back to work next week (right now she sleeps til about 8AM).

katy4128 · July 2014

We start bedtime at 845/9 and he mostly falls asleep by 930. Gets up anywhere between 330-6 to eat then back to sleep until 830 usually!
Edit:bad speller

speechie517 · July 2014

Around 10 and she has been sleeping until between 9-10 in the AM occasionally with a 4 or 5AM wake up to eat (like right now). I would love to get her on a schedule that fits wigh mine when I go back to work so we will be experimenting for the next few weeks.

This exactly.. Though I do a dreamfeed around 10:30pm

staind26 · July 2014

We struggle to get him to stay up til 7. He starts losing his shit at 530...but that seems excessively early for bedtime.

Maybe he needs a little cat nap around 5 and then a 7:30/8 bedtime? My guy was doing this for awhile.

Some babies truly do need a super early bedtime, though.

Emma takes a nap between 5 and 6 every day.

BuggasMom · July 2014

Down at 9pm up to eat at 5am back down till 9am

Husker20 · July 2014

Usually 8-9. I don't get home some nights until 8 so then it is usually 9 so I can snuggle her! She typically gets up anywhere between 3am-530 am eats then is back asleep until 9 am ish

MrsZ0811 · July 2014

At 9 weeks here. she goes down between 8-10 but usually its 8:30-9. She usually gets a bath (in the shower with one of us) then swaddled, fed and put in the pnp sleepy. She wakes to eat aroun 4-4:30 and then goes back down until 7 or 8.

HNRomance · July 2014

He does his last bottle and starts passing out around 10:30 to 11pm. He sleeps 7-8 hrs at night usually now.....feel free to hate me lol

pbandjmom · July 2014

Down around 10pm
Up at 5/6am to feed
Sleeps for another 2 hours after that.

7pm bedtime sounds great when she's older, but for right now we like to spend time with her once DH gets home from work!!

selina1113 · July 2014

Last two days he slept 9-4, takes bottle at 4 but stays asleep, then is up by 6am, diaper change, up for an hour, then naps again for about 1.5 hours. I am digging the new schedule.

Alana526 · July 2014

7. We start her routine at 630. I usually check get diaper and change her in her sleep before I go to bed to buy us more time. We used to start her routine later but she started to set an earlier bed time based on her cluster feeding and sleepy cues

This is my DS almost exactly. To bed between 9-10, sleep until 6-7 am, eat, then sleep another few hours. I'm afraid if I move his bedtime earlier he will wake up earlier. I will need to change something for when I go back to work next month though. He will need to be up for the day by 7:00 am.
