At 16 months she naps from around 1:00-3:00/3:30 and her bedtime is 7:00ish (sometimes closer to 6:30 if she didn't nap long). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629406 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:45:30 +0000 T-Mom 629406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been pushing back 30 min a year for DD since around 2 yr. It was 7:30, then 8, now 8:30 at age 4. It wasn't on purpose, she just was able to stay up later and not sleepy. I don't anticipate it getting any later, though, at least not for a while . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629333 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:20:25 +0000 MamaCate 629333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for asking this! LO is now 15 months and we have pushed bedtime back a little closer to 7:30 than 6:45/7 that she was doing before. I was wondering what others are doing. We are still having really early wakeups (like before 6), so I am considering more tinkering! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629309 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:13:22 +0000 Sweet T 629309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 18 months and his bedtime is a little later now. He used to go to bed at 7:00 each night. Now, it's closer to 8:00 or 8:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629306 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:12:24 +0000 Freckles 629306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's baby used to always go to bed by 7pm, but as she got older (around the 18 month mark) she started going to bed around 7:30-7:45pm. That way she wouldn't wake up at 5:30am (which i think she had been doing until they adjusted her bedtime). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629143 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:14:26 +0000 chopsuey 629143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not really..? M stopped napping a couple weeks ago so she's out by 6:15ish. Wakes up past 7am (gets 13-14 hours a night). </p> <p>when she used to nap, she'd go to bed at 7:30-8pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629133 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:10:10 +0000 yin 629133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's bed time has changed a few times, and I go by his cues. If I notice that it's difficult for him to fall asleep (maybe an hour or two to fall asleep), then I might push his bed time later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629131 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 20:09:25 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 629131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not drastically. We still go by his afternoon nap. Most days he naps roughly from 1-3, and I usually aim to have him in bed 4.5 hours after his nap ends, so roughly 7:30. But we're flexible. Tonight he wasn't in bed until 8:30, due to a late nap b/c of the time change. He generally sleeps 11-11.5 hours, so usually up around 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/as-your-lo-became-a-toddler-did-bedtime-change#post-629102 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 19:56:28 +0000 Rubies 629102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm wondering if bedtime generally becomes a little later as babies grow into toddlers... </p>
