I'll take it slow and steady. hope homegirl adjusts to her new schedule well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-469094 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:41:21 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 469094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree small increments have worked best for us, just be prepared that it might take a while. Every time we do a sleep adjustment I feel like it's one step forward two steps back.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-469080 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 15:34:22 +0000 banana 469080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks! will give it a try!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468856 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:46:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 468856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I agree, I wouldn't wake her up at 8 am, but just in slow increments would be best. I think after 6 months my LO dropped that third nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468828 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:37:01 +0000 MamaMoose 468828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. That's what I would do. Wake her at 9:45 and then put her down for her nap at 11:45. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468824 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:35:06 +0000 banana 468824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: So I should try to wake her up earlier maybe? If she usually wakes up at 10am, I should wake her up at 9:45am? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468819 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:33:23 +0000 MamaMoose 468819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably try to shift everything up in small increments. Like move everything up 15 minutes every other day so after a couple weeks you'll hopefully be more around the 8-8 schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468809 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:28:31 +0000 banana 468809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Right now she naps 3 times: 12-2, 4-5, and then 7-8. She always wakes up at 8 and wants to play! If I try to put her back to sleep, she gets super fussy. So I usually play with her until she gets sleepy (which is usually 10pm). :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468799 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:25:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 468799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ekk that could be tough. We are on the opposite end with her sleeping from 7-5 but would like to get it more like 8-6. Its not as simple as pushing her bedtime back. </p> <p>What is her latest nap? Maybe try cutting out a late afternoon nap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-i-shift-my-los-sleep-schedule#post-468784 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 13:11:43 +0000 banana 468784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD (5 months) sleeps late...from 10pm-10am. She sleeps through the night though (which is awesome) but it would be ideal if her schedule was 8pm-8am. So how do I shift it? Do I wake her up at 8am from now on and try to shift it that way? </p>
