I do bedtime in chunks since I'm solo at night and have to get dinner made, etc.<br /> 6:00 - arrive home<br /> 6:15 - let the dogs out, play, I start dinner while I put C in the high chair with his 'appetizers'<br /> 6:45 - 7:00 - Eat dinner<br /> 7:30 - Bath<br /> 7:45-8:30-ish - PJs, nursing, book, lights out </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692892 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 10:15:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1692892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a late bedtime too. I start around 8:30 and inevitably he goes down by 9 or 10 no matter what I do. It kind of works though cause he is not a long sleeper and I don't need him up at 4 or 5. No thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692724 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:26:05 +0000 T-Mom 1692724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start baths at 7, and bed time for DS is at 7:30 but he will stall and have to go potty 3 or 4 times before he falls asleep, so last night it was 9pm sleep time. For DD she goes to her room at 8:30 and is out immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692376 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 07:32:23 +0000 Adira 1692376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6:50 - in bed by 7:15.

USually around 5:30-6:00 (depending on when her last nap was). I've tried pushing it out, and she still gets up at the same early ungodly hour, so I figure I might as well put her down early and get a few extra hours in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692314 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:48:10 +0000 looch 1692314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It takes me an hour to get my son bathed, pajamas on, read to, milk drunk, etc. We start at 7. </p> <p>I think our problem is that the bath is just too long. He loves it and I don't want to cut it short, really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692276 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:18:01 +0000 sotofamilia 1692276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start at 7pm and he's asleep between 7:30-7:45pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692273 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:14:06 +0000 NovBaby1112 1692273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bath is usually around 6:30, then milk, books, some play, and in bed around 7/7:30 depending on nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692238 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 05:00:16 +0000 Andrea 1692238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started baths as early as 5:45 if the kids are sleeping at 6:30.

It's nuts. She was asleep by 5:25 :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692055 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:32:33 +0000 PurplePeony 1692055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually start her bath between 6 and 6:15, and she's in the crib about a half-hour later (sometimes sleeping, sometimes not). Today, she had a late nap so everything was shifted forward about an hour and she's still rolling around in her crib making noise. Hopefully she'll be out within the next 20 minutes or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692053 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:31:12 +0000 sandy 1692053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On no nap days I start running her bath at 6:15 and she comes up about 5-10 minutes later. Then stories, potty and lights our by 7:00.</p> <p>Most days she naps so I start running her bath at 7:15. Lights out by 8:00/8:15. She gets one more story on these days bc she isn't as tired at bedtime </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692043 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:22:23 +0000 cascademom 1692043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 7-7:30pm. Tonight, it was that but he didn't fall asleep until almost 9 thanks to a number of factors: upstairs neighbors, doctor's visit, late play and dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692038 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:20:39 +0000 mrbee 1692038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: 7 or so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1692035 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 21:19:31 +0000 Katrocap 1692035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7-7:30.</p> <p>@mrbee: What time does Olive wake up in the morning? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1691960 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 20:20:06 +0000 mrbee 1691960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: The solution for our son was to start pre-K, which wipes him out!

The next hour is spent reading, brushing teeth and winding down. At 8, D goes to bed but he's allowed to read quietly until it's dark. Afterwards I nurse and rock M until he's out. Then I get my pjs on and watch tv in bed with DH until we fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-start-bedtime#post-1691944 Tue, 10 Jun 2014 20:15:41 +0000 mediagirl 1691944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: oh my.
