When is your LO's bed time?

Just curious.

DS falls asleep between 9 & 10. If he's not asleep by the time we go to bed he will just fall asleep once we get there, he's easy.

Usually sometime between 9:30 and 10:30, though she sleeps late in the morning.

We've been doing great at 9:00 for awhile... But the last 3 nights in a row, it's taken more than an hour to get him down. We'll see how tonight goes!

It's getting earlier and earlier.

She was naturally going down around 10 as a newborn, then it moved to 9.

For the past month it's been bedtime routine around 8, but lately moving closer to 7:30.

I'd actually like to start putting her down at 6:30 as I think it would work best with her naps and tiredness in the evening, but then she would almost never see daddy except on weekends. It might have to start happening, though. She has been up every hour and a half to 2 hours to nurse this week and I think an earlier bedtime and being less tired when going to bed would be beneficial for her.

DD's bedtime started at 3 am the first couple weeks that she was home. It slowly moved earlier and now, at 10wks, she goes down at 11:30. I like it for now because she matches our schedule. It'll prolly change when I go back to teaching though.

Bedtime routine starts at 8 and he is usually asleep by 9.

His self imposed bedtime is getting earlier...used to be 7:30-8, but now it's closer to 6:30-7.

8-9

This exactly. She's inconsolable from about 6pm on the last few days. So I just go ahead and bathe her and give her last bottle at 630/7. She barely makes it through the bottle before passing completely out. She sleeps until 4am so I'm not complaining much because that's when we have to get up anyways (dh goes to work at 5am)

8:30pm we start the routine.

Megczapla · July 2014

It's been getting earlier and earlier. He's completely out right now. I try to wait for bath at 6:30, that way he goes down at about 7; but tonight we did bath at 6 and he's been in there for about 45 min. He sleeps till anywhere between 4-6:30am, wakes to eat, and then sleeps again.

He's on the same schedule as our older boy- bath at 8, sleep 9pm to 9am. He wakes up around 530 or 6a for a bottle then goes back to sleep until we get up for the day. We do one short morning nap for him (11am-noon) and a long afternoon nap for both (2pm-4, sometimes 430p).

It seems that no matter what time I start the routine (usually around 8) he doesn't go to sleep until 10. Lots of yawning and sleepy cues at 7:30 tonight and still didn't pass out until 10. Maybe I need to try starting at 7, just to see what happens.

Our LO doesn't go to bed until after midnight every night due to our family schedule. People think we are crazy but it works for us right now...should be interesting when it will change in a couple of months!

DS falls asleep somewhere around midnight and wakes up somewhere around 8 AM, but this is not a schedule I enforce; it just happens consistently on its own. My 2-year-old DD has a bedtime that we set, which is in the realm of 8 PM (basically I make sure she's in bed somewhere between 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM), but she's almost always "ready" at that point anyway so it's not a struggle. She wakes up around 8 AM as well.

SS, we do the bedtime routine based on when his scheduled feeding is or if he shows signs of being tired or hungry. It normally starts around 730-8, but he almost never falls asleep until 930-10.

TallaB · July 2014

Usually 8pm, and sometimes its a struggle to get that far. I've been trying to move her later though, because I don't get home from work until 8-830 and i'd really like to see her for a few
