Unfortunately during the week that is not an option and she has to be up at 7 still. We try to get her in bed around 8 but I swear in the last 6 months her body shifted and she now thinks she needs a later bedtime, its rough and nothing we do can change it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2068675 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 13:11:52 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2068675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As an infant, he used to sleep until 6:30...he now sleeps until at least 7, and on most days 8! He's 2.5 now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2068647 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 12:54:56 +0000 mediagirl 2068647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2.5 year old gets up between 5:30-6am.

She used to wake up at 6.50am when DH's alarm went off but for the last few months she has been a 5am kinda girl. She's 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2068060 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 08:18:54 +0000 looch 2068060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 4 now, he did the whole start the day at 5:30 am routine from when he was about a year old until he turned 2. Once we had him in daycare, and then eventually preschool, it seemed as though his sleep needs increased. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067987 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:09:38 +0000 winniebee 2067987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah as a baby he woke at 530! It's gotten later since age 1 and now he often wakes at 730 but rarely before 7. He's 2 yrs 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067986 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:08:01 +0000 blackbird 2067986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyTsMom: it just happened, I think. We got to a point where we wouldn't go in before certain times of the AM, though, and we still do that! We put her down at 7:30 so she gets about 11 hours, which is what she's "supposed" to get at this age </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067985 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 07:06:55 +0000 illumina 2067985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She used to sleep 7-630/7 as an infant and now at 16 months she sleeps 7-8/830. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067956 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 06:07:29 +0000 lamariniere 2067956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My son would easily sleep until 8 if he wasn't woken up by his little sister. He used to wake up around 6:30/7 as a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067861 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:10:35 +0000 Ra 2067861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but he also stays up a lot later. As an infant, he usually slept 7-7. As a toddler, he goes to bed between 9-10pm and wakes up anytime between 8-10am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067854 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:02:52 +0000 HLK208 2067854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine woke up between 7-8am as infants and 5-6am as toddlers :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067844 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:51:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2067844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J has always been an early riser... no matter what time we put him down he would wake up at 6-6:30, but just in the past month he's been sleeping past 7... usually until 7:30! Don't know if he can sleep later than that bc that's the absolute latest we can let him sleep before we start running late for work. He turns 2 next week.</p> <p>N is like a teenager now when it comes to sleep, practically have to drag her out of bed! We pull off the covers, open the curtains, and let all the light in! She's 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067831 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:35:03 +0000 78h2o 2067831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2yo naturally sleeps about 12 hours. If she goes to bed at eight, she gets up at eight. If she goes to bed closer to nine, she usually sleeps until nine, maybe 930. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067825 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:27:02 +0000 BabyTsMom 2067825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shellio: He's been on 2 naps for about 1.5 months now.....around the time the early wakeup started becoming more frequent......hmmmmm....... hahaha.</p> <p>@mrsjyw: @oliviaoblivia: @blackbird: i'm so jealous that your kids wake up so late. Did you do anything to help them along this path, or was it just a natural progression? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067823 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 00:21:45 +0000 birdofafeather 2067823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because she's pretty much always been between 7-8 plus or minus 15 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067312 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:16:11 +0000 NurseDMB 2067312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not in our case. DS always woke up between 530-6 as an infant - now he's 18 months and still wakes up between 6-630. Sometimes he sleeps until closer to 7, it just depends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067309 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:11:46 +0000 blackbird 2067309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine sleeps in more as a toddler than she did as a baby. First it was 6, then eventually 630, now it's 7, and on weekends, sometimes DH and I can sleep in until 7:30 :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067307 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 19:09:11 +0000 shellio 2067307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS has always been a good sleeper but definitely needs less sleep as he gets older. He used to do a solid 12-14 hours and now is at about 10. He is 3, we've sort of naturally shifted his bedtime later as he's gotten older. (530 or so as infant, now more like 8.) Does your LO still take 3 naps? Maybe he is ready to switch to two. Both of my boys went from 3 to 2 naps around 8-10 mos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067274 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:42:25 +0000 fairy 2067274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter always woke up late (like between 10 and noon as an infant) so she actually wakes earlier now (between 8:30 and 9:30) as a toddler! No complaints though, it is still much later than most people I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067264 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:37:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2067264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's always been a sleeper and is getting up at 8:30/9:00 these days. Used to be 7:30, but I was working and she had to get up then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067255 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:26:22 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2067255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Both of my girls slept til 10 or later as infants.</p> <p>Now they wake at 7/730. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067248 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:17:28 +0000 sarac 2067248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my daughter went through some early wakeful periods which were HELL. Now at 3, she's gone to a late to bed, late to rise sleeping schedule. Just like her father. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067225 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:57:19 +0000 mrsjyw 2067225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep he used to be up at 7/730 as an infant. Nowadays it's more 8/830. He's two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067222 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:55:12 +0000 Rockies11 2067222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wakes up earlier as a toddler than she did as an infant. She's up at about 6 am, whereas she used to sleep until 8 am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-toddlers-wake-up-later-than-infants#post-2067218 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:53:07 +0000 BabyTsMom 2067218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just out of curiosity, those of you who have toddlers or older children, do they wake up later than they did as infants? My LO (almost 9 mo) seems to be waking up earlier this past month and I don't like it! I'm wondering if it's a phase or if it's something I just have to deal with until he's a teenager.<br /> He wakes up anywhere between 6-6:45am. Usually 6:30am nowadays. I know that's not toooo early but to me (I'm so not a morning person), it feels really early!!!! </p>
