Our LO had a 5:30 pm bedtime from about two and a half months on, and would sleep 12 hours through the night. Now at 8 months, she's just started staying up until about 6:30 and still sleeps brilliantly. I don't think there's a right or wrong time for bed - if it's working well for you and your LO, then I say go with it! cascademom on "Is 6pm bedtime too early for a 6 month old?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-6pm-bedtime-too-early-for-a-6-month-old#post-608650 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 21:29:06 +0000 cascademom 608650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our 6th month old had a bad nap and has been in bed since 7:30pm. This is early for him. We're working on getting an early bedtime after our peds got on us about LO's sleep and lack of STTN.

Usually my 6 month old is sleeping between 6:30 and 7. matador84 on "Is 6pm bedtime too early for a 6 month old?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-6pm-bedtime-too-early-for-a-6-month-old#post-608552 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 19:31:45 +0000 matador84 608552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My 6 month old goes down around 630 each night. jmarionsmith on "Is 6pm bedtime too early for a 6 month old?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-6pm-bedtime-too-early-for-a-6-month-old#post-608537 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 19:11:12 +0000 jmarionsmith 608537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My 6 month old refuses to take a decent afternoon nap so by 6 pm he is beat!
