She's in daycare 5 days a week on that nap schedule so we've kept the same schedule at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-move-bedtime-18m#post-1995471 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:32:40 +0000 illumina 1995471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: oh gosh that is already an early wake up! What time does she usually nap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-move-bedtime-18m#post-1995438 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 09:13:08 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 1995438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: The latest she wakes up now is 6:30 - we have to leave the house by 7:15ish on weekdays - and sleeping till 6:30 is rare, it's usually somewhere between 5:30 and 6 for her, so I definitely wouldn't want to wake her up earlier than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-move-bedtime-18m#post-1994885 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 18:30:35 +0000 blackbird 1994885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E used to have a 6:45pm bedtime and it's been 7:15 since she hit 18 months. She sleeps until the same time, though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-move-bedtime-18m#post-1994868 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 18:18:24 +0000 Mamasig 1994868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has a later bedtime - used to be around 8:30 but now we've been between 9 and 10! And sometimes later. Going to bed earlier doesn't help. He's just a low sleep needs kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-move-bedtime-18m#post-1994845 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 17:52:25 +0000 illumina 1994845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What if you gradually start waking her earlier for the day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-way-to-move-bedtime-18m#post-1994760 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:58:26 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 1994760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler has started trending toward a later bedtime, and I'd really love to move it back an hour or so but not sure if it's a losing battle. </p> <p>Her usual for the last couple of months has been around 8:30. We put her down at 7:45, and she seems to need at least a half hour to roll around in the crib to settle down. She was going down by 7 PM 6 months ago, and then started shifting toward 7:30-8 and now we're at 8:30. Putting her down earlier hasn't helped, she only gets cranky in the crib if she's in there for too long, which is why we finally just adjusted when we put her down. She's always been a low sleep/high wake time kid - she only gets about 9-10 hours every night, and a 2 hour nap - and this later bedtime shift started when she shifted to 1 nap fully, so maybe this is just how she is and I need to deal with it but I'd love an extra hour if I can get it (both for her and for myself). </p> <p>Any thoughts? "Shut up and deal" is a totally acceptable answer :) </p>
