We did the EASY routine and max waketimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592855 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:16:18 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2592855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: An earlier bedtime would be helpful in getting work done at night. I usually have about 1-1.5 hours of admin tasks to complete daily on the four days I WOH. By 10 pm when baby drifts off I am more than ready for bed myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592815 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:38:38 +0000 looch 2592815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do you feel you need to move bedtime earlier? Is it in preparation for having to wake him for daycare or similar?</p> <p>I was never able to easily move my sons sleep time, he was wired a certain way and that was/is that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592803 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:25:16 +0000 MamaCate 2592803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: we did two 5 oz bottles, around 10 and 1:30/2 then a 3 oz top up bottle around 3:30/4. He was always happy to nurse when we got home even if he literally was finishing his bottle when I got there.</p> <p>I just let him wake up when hungry. This was somewhere between 12 and 3 at first until he started sleeping through around 5 months. My DD on the other hand I fed once a night through the first year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592793 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:18:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2592793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think we will be home by 5:30 most nights. Next week will be my first week in my new territory and GA traffic. </p> <p>@MamaCate: what time is the last bottle your baby gets at daycare? You wake baby up ay 10 for a dream feed? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592678 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:27:59 +0000 MamaCate 2592678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved bedtime to be after the feeding before that late 10 pm feeding, so around 6:30/7.</p> <p>This is our rough routine:<br /> 5-home with kids<br /> 5:10 nurse baby<br /> 5:30 make dinner, kids play<br /> 5:45/6 eat<br /> 6:30 play<br /> 6:45/7 start bedtime: brush teeth, bath, pjs, nurse to sleep<br /> Usually the baby is down by 7:30 or so. Up for the day around 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592672 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:22:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2592672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you get home from work/school with him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-bedtime-up-amp-after-work-routine#post-2592666 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:07:41 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2592666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IRL mom friends keep telling me it's time to move LO's bedtime up. We typically start winding down around 9/ 9:30 and sometimes it can take LO a hour to fall asleep. His routine so far is SIMPLE- nurse, prayers, sings songs, silent gliding until he (and I) fall asleep. He only gets a bath twice a week and if I do it in the evening it's at least two hours before bedtime wind down.</p> <p>How did you move your LO's bedtime up? To what time? How long did it take? </p> <p>Pretty soon LO will begin solids. His daycare provides cereal as a first food, but at home I plan to BLW. Anything you can tell me about time management with my after work/ his after daycare routine will be super helpful. He probably will need more baths whem he starts solids? </p>
