She starts bath or pajamas (non bath night) at 6pm and then we nurse at 6:15pm and she is out by 6:30pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561630 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:56:26 +0000 littlebug 561630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D is 4 weeks on Thurs. I typically take him up around 8, change his diaper, massage/sing to him, and nurse. He falls asleep anywhere from 8:30-9. Right now, he falls asleep at the boob - I've tried putting him down before he's totally asleep, but he wakes up within 5 minutes and wails. Then he sleeps till 2 or 3 (4 this morning - woohoo!), nurses again, and goes back down till 5 or 6, nurses again, and is up around 7:30. Not too bad, and I'm hoping that first stretch of sleep continues to get longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561614 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:49:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 561614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are at 7:30-8 at 4 month old, depends on when she wakes up from her nightly cat nap. We try to do bath and bottle by 7:15 and she falls asleep soon after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561366 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 05:26:12 +0000 Cchoi4 561366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was less than a year old, we usually started the routine around 6:30 and got him to sleep by 7 or 7:30 latest. He is 22 months now and its' shifted later an hour, so we start the routine around 7:30, he goes to sleep around 8 - 8:30. Wish it were earlier but he wakes from his one nap at around 2:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561310 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:04:24 +0000 googly-eyes 561310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 pm and she's almost 5 months. I know that's later than most but I am a SAHM and I don't think I could get a longer stretch than the one I do...and it works with our schedule. She gets a feeding usually at 7-730am the next morning... Hoping it stays this way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561253 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:18:56 +0000 dolphin 561253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as above post...between 9-10pm and she's 8 weeks. We've tried earlier, around 7-8pm but she always wakes for another feed in 2-3 hours anyway. But my LO does not do nine hours straight like Purpleunicorn! Holy cow that sounds awesome. If we put her down at 10pm, she will wake around 3-4am and again around 6-7am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561248 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:13:08 +0000 sarac 561248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 months, 8pm-ish. We follow her cues, which are eye rubbing, yawning, etc. Lately I can ask her if she's sleepy, and she'll nod, say 'baboo map' (nursing/nap) and then go lay down on her bed. It is awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561236 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:44:37 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 561236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 9 and 10pm. Then I'm in bed between 10 and 11 and we all wake up around 6:30-7am. I'm perfectly content because he sleeps straight for 9 hours with no night wakings since 8 weeks (he is 13 weeks now). He also has a short nap in evening which I like. There are exceptions of course to this "schedule " </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561231 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:40:19 +0000 bunnylovesbear 561231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gone a bit off schedule lately, but bathtime is usually 7:30ish depending on when we finish dinner. He has his last bottle of the day after bathtime, and we aim for an 8:30 bedtime. Most nights, he's fast asleep by 9pm....and will sleep through the night to 8am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561223 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:34:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 561223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9:30, and he's 6 months. It works best with our schedule for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-561219 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 22:30:03 +0000 mrsjyw 561219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when he was a nb his bedtime was around 10pm...</p> <p>month 2-3 his magic bedtime was 830-9pm...</p> <p>he will be 12 weeks on wed and has been going down at 730. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559687 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:52:53 +0000 Amelieisme 559687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 pm for my 6 month old since a little after 5 months. Before that, he was going to sleep around 930 pm or so and bedtime was SUCH a hassle with him being so fussy trying to get him to go down. Once I moved it up and started a strong bedtime routine, he goes down awake in his crib and is asleep within a minute or two, usually without a peep. SO lovely to have our evenings back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559674 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 08:39:31 +0000 buffalove 559674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bath time starts at 7:30, bottle at 8, in bed by 8:15/8:30. DS is 6.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559623 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 07:12:24 +0000 LulaBee 559623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start routine at 5:15-ish... bedtime is usually around 6. We are contemplating pushing it back because LO is a horrible sleeper and maybe she will sleep longer if she goes to bed later? She's phased out her late afternoon nap so she's usually pretty tired by 5:30... she is 6 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559618 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 06:31:10 +0000 PrincessBaby 559618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start around 9:15 usually and typically have her down around 10p. I've tried to get her down earlier but her eyes pop open like 10 minutes after I get her in the crib. I'm hoping her bedtime will naturally move up as she gets older. She used to not go to bed before midnight!</p> <p>But she is 10 weeks old, sleeps 10p-5a, Then goes down again until around 8am, so I'm not going to complain about that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559543 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:14:52 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 559543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5h after he wakes up from his last nap...these days that is 9:15ish. I love it because he wakes up at 9am as well...takes 3 naps and is 18w old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559534 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 23:01:20 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 559534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 8. It used to be 7 but this works better for us in terms of evening routine and not having to get up quite so early in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559504 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:35:43 +0000 autumnlove 559504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 7:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559478 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 22:01:10 +0000 Beehive 559478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Apis: Yes, don't remind me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559475 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:59:21 +0000 apis 559475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beehive: And some nights, he's even a little later than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559441 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:30:59 +0000 Pepper 559441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: My husband doesn't get home til late either, so I was curious about this. We will probably end up having a later bedtime too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559431 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:19:25 +0000 runsyellowlites 559431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over the last year bedtime has been pushed back &amp; is now 8 for G, who is 8, &amp; 8:30/8:45 for P. It was earlier but DH doesn't get home until 7:15/7:30 &amp; having dinner all together has taken precedence over an early bedtime. Also, DH's time with P is bathtime so if she went to be earlier he'd basically never get to see her. Since G is homeschooled &amp; I WAH we don't have an early wake time in the morning so our semi-late bedtime works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559429 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:19:13 +0000 woodentulip 559429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:00 for both the 3.5 year old and the 1 year old. For us, we just decided on a time and developed a daily routine that functioned around it. We normally have wakeup around 7-7:30 am and naps from 12:15-3:00 (on a good day) and then bed around 7. Works for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-put-baby-down-for-bed#post-559415 Sun, 10 Feb 2013 21:11:12 +0000 Andrea 559415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still playing around with it but the last few nights have been 6 pm.
