We have a pretty set routine- hubs gives her the bath, then I take over and do nurse/book and put her down awake and it works like a charm- too scared to mess it up but I know I will need to miss bedtime eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768963 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:28:02 +0000 fancyfunction 768963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss her bedtime on Thursdays when I have orchestra rehearsal and I've had a bunch of night meetings in the last couple of months. My husband is usually the main person putting her to bed since he doesn't have a chance to see her during the work day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768949 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:15:27 +0000 78h2o 768949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768941 Wed, 08 May 2013 22:11:03 +0000 BlueWolverine 768941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never.

But not too many times since. I just missed Charlie's bedtime tonight to have dinner with a friend!</p> <p>I don't like missing bedtime, especially now that we have two kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768855 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:45:45 +0000 skibobrown 768855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Approximately once per week either DH or I will do bedtime alone while the other one does something work-related or goes out with friends for some much needed social time. Last week I missed bedtime once for a work dinner and once for a night out with two of my girlfriends. This week I've been home every night for bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768830 Wed, 08 May 2013 20:36:29 +0000 autumn865 768830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 8 months and I've only missed bedtime once (we were at a wedding) when she was 3 months. We have some more weddings coming up and I'm sort of apprehensive about how she will be. I don't mind always being home for bedtime though. I say, don't mess with something that works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768717 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:56:26 +0000 mamabolt 768717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Six times -two weddings that we attended last summer and 4 days for a business trip I went on. I'm going on another trip next week so that will add another 4. LO is 10.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768710 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:51:14 +0000 cheesetomywhine 768710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I nurse R then DH does stories and tucks her in. I am generally at home for this (if we go out we put her down). It is their bonding time since I stay home with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768704 Wed, 08 May 2013 19:47:59 +0000 travelgirl1 768704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never.

Even though I WOHM since I'm breastfeeding I try not to be home after 8. LOs bedtime used to be about 8:30 p.m. And the couple of times I've come home after her bedtime DH is usually sitting up with her waiting for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768589 Wed, 08 May 2013 18:39:11 +0000 regberadaisy 768589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once for a wedding very early on when my mom was still here.<br /> But she was still awake when we got home.<br /> No baby sitters. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768587 Wed, 08 May 2013 18:37:46 +0000 pinkb 768587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss it 5 nights a week since I work nights.

I usually nurse him and then go to bed myself. My husband finishes with the swaddle and the rocking to put him to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-768582 Wed, 08 May 2013 18:34:53 +0000 birdofafeather 768582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hm, LO is 16 weeks and i've probably missed 4 bedtimes? maybe a couple more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744996 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:09:20 +0000 tysonja 744996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he's 11 months, i think at least 25 times? or more? </p> <p>we have meetings at night once in a while so one of us will put him down and the other goes out. or mil will come babysit around his dinner time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744859 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:54:04 +0000 MrsStar 744859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twice. The first time was for date night and the second was when dh and I went out with some friends for my birthday! LO is 7 months. I hate missing her bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744844 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:52:54 +0000 googly-eyes 744844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A few times.. A few nights when we had help because ppd kept me from even being in the same room too long (worst experience of my life hands down), once on my bday, when we went on a trip sans LO (but by then I was recovered from the ppd and WANTED to be there), and that's it. Not recently and probably not for a long time though... I'm a SAHM and the only family member I had for help is leaving town for an extended trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744814 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:50:02 +0000 Springtime 744814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 12 months, maybe 4-5 times I have missed bedtime. I've been gone overnight only twice though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744808 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:48:30 +0000 yerpie110 744808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so far zero but she is only 3.5 months old. i don't think i would miss one unless we convince our nanny to stay that night as LO will only take a bottle from her so far and i couldn't stand to let her go to bed hungry. or once LO starts taking the bottle from well, anyone else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744807 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:48:24 +0000 Giraffe 744807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only once in 9 months, for a work event. I love our bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744803 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:48:11 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 744803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About five times. Once when DH and I were out 'having a good time' and my ILs put him to bed then at least three times while I was in the hospital giving birth. DS is 15 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744787 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:46:20 +0000 SLR 744787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 4-5 times so far. Once was a date night and the others have been while I was at a monthly dinner out with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744732 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:41:29 +0000 SleepyMonkey 744732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! Dh did the bedtime routine once but I was in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744578 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:16:08 +0000 winniebee 744578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably 10 times in 11 mos. a few we're work related and the rest were planned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744577 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:15:52 +0000 immabeetoo 744577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never... it's been going so well I'm terrified to mess with it! He doesn't love bottles so I'm not sure how it would go over. In 2 weeks we'll be at a wedding with my Mom staying with LO at a nearby hotel and I'm going to go back from the wedding to nurse him but she'll do everything else.. eep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-have-you-missed-bedtime#post-744570 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 20:14:44 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 744570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>once.<br /> It should be more but our babysitters (grandmothers) seem to like to keep LO up :) I've come home at 11pm on some nights from a date night or wedding or something, and LO is WIDE AWAKE:) </p>
