She's 8:30 to 6am now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1220568 Sat, 16 Nov 2013 01:20:48 +0000 tysonja 1220568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are pretty happy with his 7:30-7:30 right now. He still takes 2 naps (total 3hrs) as well at 18 months. I'm really grateful because we have a 7 week old now, as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1220513 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 23:23:35 +0000 twinmama 1220513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: I think it was just kind of a perfect storm of things that allowed us to be successful. DS was waking super early (like 4 or 5) and daylight savings was approaching, so we were terrified! So a week out from the dst fall back we started pushing bedtime back by 15 minutes for 2 nights at a time, until it was a full hour or so later. I was kind of amazed at how well the kids responded. But I think going slow and giving them multiple nights to adjust to each small shift made a difference. We also started giving them an extra cup of milk about 30 min out from starting the bath&amp;bed routine, and that seemed to help keep them energized later. Their nap also ended up shifting later from 11 or 12 to 1 or so in the process. Sorry for the novel, but it's been a great shift for us...good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1219660 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:54:21 +0000 cheesetomywhine 1219660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ideal is either 6:30-6:45 to 8 or 6:50-7 to 8:30. With a two hour nap. We generally get that! Lately she's been having trouble falling asleep but she is getting molars :( I think so anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1219527 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:08:32 +0000 MsLipGloss 1219527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideal? 7-6. </p> <p>What she does currently? 6/6:30 to 4:30/5:30. She is 14.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1219523 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:07:03 +0000 cmomma17 1219523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love if C slept from 7 pm (so I would have some time with him after work in the evening) until 6 am (early because on some work days I have to wake him up to go to MIL's for childcare).<br /> Of course ideally he would also sleep in on the weekends for momma ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1219515 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 14:04:31 +0000 winniebee 1219515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: he slept 7-5 or 730-530 for a long time probably 5-13 months? It just turned out that he was never going to sleep 12 hours so super early bed time was not for us! He eventually started sleeping a little later as he transitioned towards 1 nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1219182 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:18:52 +0000 edelweiss 1219182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>right now i would love 6.30 to 6.30. we are all over the place with wake-up times. </p> <p>@winniebee: so there is hope? LO has been waking up at 4 or 5am (we were aiming for 5.30 or 6am wakeups) for the past 6 months. when i realized this wasn't a short little phase or something i could train him out of (CIO wasn't working after weeks), i caved and now nurse him at that godforsaken hour and sometimes he goes back to sleep. unless he poops. which happens a lot. argh. at what age did your LO grow out of the early wakeups? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1219168 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 12:15:46 +0000 NovBaby1112 1219168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love 7-6:30. We need to leave for daycare around 7:20, so sleeping until 6:30 would be perfect. </p> <p>@hilsy85: ugh, don't babies know that anything before 6 is not cool?? LO has started waking up bright and early at 5:30 again! Our lovely 1 month of sleeping in until 7:30 is long gone, ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218481 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:17:43 +0000 Alivoo01 1218481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-6, but I'm just praying for a longer stretch of constant sleep right now.... He takes 3 naps and the last one is really late in the evening. I've tried keeping him awake so that it might cause him to sleep through the night longer, but no dice. He either still wakes up MOTN or gets super fussy bc he wants to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218468 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:14:10 +0000 hilsy85 1218468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point, I would be thrilled with 7-6, or 6:30-6, or 7:30-6. Basically, I would be thrilled with him sleeping til 6, regardless of when he goes to sleep (which has never been later than 7:30/7:45). The last month or so, he's been usually waking up between 5:30 and 5:45--it.is.horrible. Anything before 6 is just not morning in my book. He also SEEMS to need at least 11 hours of sleep, but sometimes only gets 10/10.5 with night wakings, and that just doesn't seem to be enough. </p> <p>I can't even imagine an 8-8 schedule. that would just be too amazing. I don't even want to think about it because I'll get sad!</p> <p>@DillonLion: your baby is some kind of dream baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218333 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 08:23:38 +0000 GrapeCrush 1218333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-8 would be great. It's more like 8 to anytime between 5:30 and 7:30...he's very unpredictable </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218287 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 08:02:27 +0000 DillonLion 1218287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-9...which is what she does! Plus a sizeable nap or two during the day. Homegirl is wild and tuckers herself out daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218278 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:56:25 +0000 regberadaisy 1218278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In a perfect world it will be 7:30 - 6:30. We have to be up by 6:30 to get out of the house in time. This way she gets a solid 11 hours. Pre regression it was more like 10 because she would wake at 5:30 but then snooze for a bit more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218272 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:52:13 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1218272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't even have a LO, but I have already thought about this. Bed time 8 pm and wake up at 5:30 am, so he/she can spend time with their father in the morning. I'm hoping morning routine will be smooth enough for Mr. Lime to be able to handle all by himself, drop LO off at daycare and still get to work on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218185 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 05:46:06 +0000 Kimberlybee 1218185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9pm-8am with good naps throughout the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218101 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 01:21:30 +0000 daniellemybelle 1218101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our last feeding starts at 8pm &amp; I'd be happy if she went right down after. She usually fights it &amp; it takes a good 30-45 min after she eats to get her to sleep. It would be great if she slept longer in the morning but she's 3.5 weeks old, so I would just take her going back down right away after her 430am wakeup! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218075 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:48:31 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1218075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30 pm - 6:30 am would be perfect, with a 2 hour nap in the afternoon!</p> <p>Right now she's doing 8 or 8:30 pm - 6:30 am (but I have to wake her)… so we're pretty close! Her sleep really improved since we changed preschools at the beginning of this month. Mrs. Bee's post really rang true in that the increased stimulation has led to improved sleep! For awhile there we were fighting bedtimes like crazy and having really early wake ups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218068 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:44:14 +0000 lemondrop 1218068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty happy with 8-8:30 until 7-7:30 (22 months, STTN took us a very, very long time). Having the quality playtime after dinner when we are all home is more important to us that an early bedtime. When he goes past 9pm it gets kinda exhausting since I do most of my work after his bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218062 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:36:47 +0000 QBbride 1218062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be happy with 7pm-7am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1218056 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 00:29:24 +0000 HLK208 1218056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30-7:30 here too!

That way, DH and i could make an 8pm dinner reservation, and she would wake up early enough for us to get to daycare/work by a decent time. Lately it's more like 8:15-7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1217962 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 23:23:51 +0000 pinkcupcake 1217962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're at 7-730 right now, which is working out fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-want-your-los-ideal-bed-and-wake-up-time-to-be#post-1217946 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 23:14:25 +0000 luckypenny 1217946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-8 would be ideal! DH doesn't come home until later so we don't mind the 8pm bedtime. I wouldn't mind if she woke up at 7-7:30. </p> <p>Right now we are in the 18 month sleep regression so who knows when that will happen lol. Yesterday was 10:45-6:45 and only took a 30 min nap :( send help!

We can take our time getting ready in the morning and I get some more alone time at night with my husband </p>
