We aim for 8:30 but plenty of nights she's not ready til 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632281 Tue, 13 May 2014 18:09:57 +0000 Running Elley 1632281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been starting bedtime routine at 7, in bed by 8 since both LOs were really young...we started DS at 5 weeks and DD at like 3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632279 Tue, 13 May 2014 18:07:23 +0000 winniebee 1632279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Later like 9/10 until 12 wks them a gradual move towards 730/7 by 4 mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632274 Tue, 13 May 2014 18:02:54 +0000 matador84 1632274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9pm and she sleeps through night. I think ours are a couple weeks apart. I'll move her bedtime up in a couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632270 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:59:00 +0000 StbHisMrs 1632270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh boy, I wish she'd go down that early. Out of the 3, my 12 year old goes to bed the earliest, weird! I get from work/pick-up late so we don't eat dinner until 7:30-8 most nights, so bed time for the 2yo and 9 month old are 8:45-9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632266 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:55:34 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1632266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is 8 weeks and we aim for 930-10. He usually will go until 3-4 after that. So I think if I did any earlier he would just wake up earlier and then get up for the day even earlier. I don't know though....</p> <p>We usually start bedtime routine 60 to 90 mins after his last nap. That includes bath/warm towel/lotion bottle of pumped milk and he goes to sleep easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632263 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:52:59 +0000 MrsH 1632263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually between 6:30-8:00 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632253 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:40:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 1632253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember at all..I think the earlier days it was later, but I know by 3 months (cause of Christmas) she was in bed by 7-730! I remember rushing to get out of my grandparents to get her home for bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632229 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:20:15 +0000 Charm54 1632229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until she was about 4 months she had a late bedtime, around 9/10pm. She would sleep through until 8 the next morning though so I wasn't too anxious to change it.</p> <p>When she reached 4 months old she began consolidating her naps and pushing her bedtime earlier by an hour every few weeks until she settled on a 7pm bedtime by 6 months . It was one area where we truly followed her lead .</p> <p>These days we start her bedtime routine around 6:30 and she is in bed by 7:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632226 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:19:55 +0000 illumina 1632226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always tried for a 7-7.30 bedtime. The first few months it felt like it took 1-2hrs to get her down because she could not fall asleep alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632222 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:17:38 +0000 lawbee11 1632222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before 12 weeks her bedtime was 8 (we'd start routine around 7:15/7:30). Around 12 weeks we moved it up to 7 and we now start her routine between 6:20 and 6:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-good-bedtime-for-an-infant#post-1632219 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:13:26 +0000 Bao 1632219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm playing around with bedtimes for E. We were putting her down much later like 9:00 or 10:00 Last night I put her down at 7:00 and she slept 5 straight hours. She's acting fussy already right now for bed though, it's pretty early still I think. What time did/does your infant go to sleep? Did that bedtime change over a few months, as they got older? What time do you start their bedtime routine? </p>
