Sometimes it was 5 minutes, sometimes 45 minutes, I figured when she was ready she let us know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060376 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:34:17 +0000 Ajsmommy 2060376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I struggle with this. DD is usually very content in her crib and doesn't usually call out. I'll let her be for 5-10 mins and then I usually go get her unless it's way to early, then I try to wait until it's "normal" wake up time. Can be up to 45 mins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060362 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:27:11 +0000 loveisstrange 2060362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until she calls. Now that she's older, she just open her door and comes and crawls in bed with me. When she was little, she regularly hung out and happily played for 30-40 minutes in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060322 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:06:08 +0000 Mae 2060322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once my LO can call for me I'll let her stay in there until he does! But she's only almost 9 mo right now. She almost always wakes up happy and just babbles around her crib but we go get her as soon as we're aware she is up (which honestly I have no idea how long that is because she's so quiet when she wakes I'm not sure we wake up right when she does). Mostly because I feel like if she learns the only way she gets out of her crib is to start crying then she might start crying more in her crib. I feel like right now she trusts we'll get her up soon so she is patient and waits for us to get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060319 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:03:51 +0000 blackbird 2060319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>However the hell long she wants, unless i have to go to work. She'll play and screw around in there for a good 30 min </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060317 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:03:11 +0000 LBee 2060317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 6 months and I let him play in his crib until he starts to (a) fuss or (b) try to swing on the mobile.

As long as I can possibly wait. ha! During the week, I think the sitter gets her after about 10 - 20 minutes. She rarely starts calling to us or whining, I think she could stay in there for an hour before she would! But I always feel too bad. (she's 20 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060235 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 08:15:46 +0000 petunia354 2060235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as possible, ha! He loves playing in his crib and likes to wake up leisurely, he was actually pissed at me this morning for getting him out of bed too quickly! He is 25 months. He's always been that way though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060216 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 07:53:53 +0000 hilsy85 2060216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave him until he calls for me or gets upset--can be up to 40min. He's 27 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060215 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 07:52:52 +0000 Dandelion 2060215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until he cries or calls for us. DH will sometimes get him or I'll get him cause we need to get moving, but if there's no hurry, I let him play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060211 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 07:46:26 +0000 winniebee 2060211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let him play until he calls for me! He's 2.5 and we always let him chill until he complained (like before he could call for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-lo-hang-out-in-bed-after-they-wake-up#post-2060205 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 07:37:49 +0000 artsyfartsy 2060205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is an early riser so he usually wakes me up by cooing and babbling in his crib and I hear him through the monitor. He lays and plays with his stuffed animals and blanket for up to 30 mins. Sometimes I take advantage of it and lay in bed until he starts whining to get up, but most of the time I go in after about 10 mins. </p> <p>I think it's important to let him have that time to himself as long as he's happy and playing. DH wants to go get him up as soon as he wakes up in the mornings or from naps. I keep asking him how he would feel if someone yanked him out of bed as soon as he opened his eyes!</p> <p>How long will your LO lay in bed? How long do you let them? </p>
