It was 5:30 for a long time and as naps dropped it moved to 6:30 around a year. Then around 18-20 months it moved to 7:30. Now at 26 months her bedtime is 8:00 if she sleeps during naptime. If she just plays in her bed during naptime her bedtime is 7:00 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1351228 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:18:41 +0000 mrsjyw 1351228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! A always went down at 630-730...now it's 7-8ish! He's 14.5 mths! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1351224 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 20:17:53 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1351224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: we were sitting in a rocker &amp; reading books or nursing and he'd often fall asleep in our arms. We moved the nursing &amp; limit the books now, so he's awake when he goes into bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348530 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:45:13 +0000 Andrea 1348530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: she doesn't nap, but I attribute it more to being school. It really wears her out and she can't wait to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348505 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:33:07 +0000 yellowbird 1348505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoyfulKiwi: he could be adjusting his bedtime. Are you still putting him down in his crib at the same time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348495 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:29:06 +0000 looch 1348495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: did she drop the nap? I wonder if that is a part of it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348454 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:05:51 +0000 mediagirl 1348454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm so happy when I hear you say this. I don't plan on making M's bedtime any later any time in the near future (especially with our wake-up times). She goes to bed at 6:30. It's nice to know other kids have early bedtimes, too. Especially in the summer when I hear kids outside playing until it gets dark! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348448 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 08:02:35 +0000 loveisstrange 1348448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She was 5:45 for a long time, then it was 6pm. It changed to 6:30 around a year and at 21 months, it's usually 7-7:30, that started around 17/18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348429 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 07:49:28 +0000 Mamaof2 1348429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it changed - as the naps dropped bedtime got a little earlier.</p> <p>My DS was going to bed at 830 but once naps were over its 730</p> <p>My DD goes down at 730 but if she doesn't nap its usually 6pm bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1348322 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 06:22:10 +0000 Andrea 1348322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has moved around a bit between 5:30 and 6:30, but it hasn't changed much. As a baby, she went to bed at 5:30 pm. Now she is almost 4 years old and is in bed by 6 pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1347938 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:53:30 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1347938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm.. Once we sleep trained Chloe, 8pm was her bedtime. She was great about going to sleep!</p> <p>Now she's 2 and we still do our bedtime routine and get her in bed by 8:30, but man she pulls out all the stops. It's nearly 10 and I still hear her chatting to herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-had-an-early-bedtime#post-1347923 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:49:53 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1347923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...did they move to a later bedtime as a toddler?</p> <p>F is nearly 16 months. He's always gone to bed between 6:30-7pm, but this past week has been closer to 7:30. We switched up his bedtime routine so we're not cuddling so long in the rocker &amp; he's in his bed more. </p> <p>I'm curious if he's just adjusting to putting himself to sleep or if he's creating a new bedtime? </p>
