It worked great for us since through the summer we could only walk the dog at night due to the heat. He started to go to bed earlier and earlier as he dropped naps and started becoming more active. </p> <p>Even now at 2 years, he's still a bit of a night owl. We aim for a bedtime between 8-9. Tonight he's a little off since he has a cold and napped longer, so he's just winding down at 10pm and has been hanging out in his crib playing for the past hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338941 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:51:23 +0000 wonderstruck 1338941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think people forget what nighttime was like during that stage because it passes so quickly. That sounds about where our son was at 10 weeks. As he got older and started sleeping even longer and having a more set schedule, he slowly moved to an 8PM bedtime. I think he was probably around 4 months when that happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338926 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:27:55 +0000 JessKas 1338926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DD was that age she was going to bed around 9:30/10. She's almost 5 months now and goes to sleep around 8/8:30. Although I'm lucky to get a 4-5 hour stretch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338922 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:25:33 +0000 lovehoneybee 1338922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>17 months and around 8. Until 6 months it was more like around midnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338919 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:23:22 +0000 GrapeCrush 1338919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was about your LOs age, he didn't go to bed until like 10 or 11. we finally got him to 9, but when DH work schedule changed, and he got home and hour earlier, DS moved his bedtime up an hour earlier by himself.<br /> at 20 months, DS goes to bed at 8pm<br /> at 5 months, DD goes to bed at 7:30pm<br /> we try to get them both to go down at the same time, but DD just isn't having it. they get up within a half hour of each other though every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338914 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:14:23 +0000 mrsjyw 1338914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7pm since 3 months.<br /> lately it's been 7-8 depending on his second nap. he is 13.5 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338904 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:08:24 +0000 Silva 1338904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8.5 months, 7:00. Been that way since maybe 4 months? But it was 10 or 11 for a while before that. Lately it seems like she could go to bed even earlier, but it just doesn't work for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338900 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 23:01:10 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1338900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 10 weeks and goes down for the night around 10 pm and typically sleeps until 8 am or so with a wake up around 4. I read somewhere that it's normal for young infants to go to bed between 9 and 11 and around 6 months, will move their bedtime earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338888 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:50:44 +0000 Cchoi4 1338888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO was around 1-2.5 months, it was anywhere around 8-9:30. Now its somewhere between 7 and 8pm. Once they drop to three naps, its much easier to predict when a good bedtime for them is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338859 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:33:29 +0000 Pepper 1338859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tillma: My LO just recently started going to bed successfully between 7:30-8:00. He's 6 months old. Prior to that, he was going to bed at 11. I think that's totally normal! I enjoyed the later bedtime in the beginning because I'd just go to sleep when he slept. But now, it's nice to have evening me time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338842 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 22:26:59 +0000 Grace 1338842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30 at 4 months (with 4 wakeups by 8 AM). 7 hours would be heaven. I's be afraid to change it in case it jinxes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338607 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 21:01:23 +0000 Smurfette 1338607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months and 7pm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338602 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 21:00:08 +0000 Jellyfish 1338602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tillma: same here! LO refuses to go down earlier than 9. Usually by the time we are done nursing and then rocking its close to 10:30 when he sleeps. But he STTN for 9 hrs so can't complain. We tried to move up his schedule but it didn't work...hopefully he will adjust as he gets older (now just almost 4 mos) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338561 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 20:46:05 +0000 cascademom 1338561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7pm since 6 months old here with sleep training. Tonight, he missed a nap and passed out by 6pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338560 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 20:45:23 +0000 yellowbird 1338560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tillma: my lo is 16 months and goes to bed around 7:15. She naturally adjusted to thus time around 6 weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338508 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 20:20:50 +0000 Mamadee 1338508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's totally normal! Lo started out that late and just gradually went to bed earlier and earlier. Now at 6mos he's in bed by 7:30. Every once in a while he has a late night (9pm) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338028 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 16:01:49 +0000 Trailmix 1338028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, it was around 8:30-9:00. Now it's 6:45-7:00 pm. I'd have been thrilled if mine slept 7 hours straight (in fact, I'm still thrilled when it happens) so I'd just enjoy it and let your LO lead, bedtime will eventually move back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338010 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:41:09 +0000 singingbee 1338010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO used to go bed around 10:30/11. When I say that, we would start her routine early, like around 7 or 8, bp but she wouldn't stay down for the night until then. Now, at 3 months, she starts her bath around 7 pm and is asleep by 8:30-9 pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1338007 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:35:49 +0000 deerylou 1338007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost six months. We start her bedtime routine around 8, and she's usually down for the evening no later than 10. We'd love to get her down earlier, but my husband doesn't return home until 7, so we're usually prepping dinner, and winding down around the usual baby bedtime. Our setup allows for her to sleep in, so she's still able to get a full 10-11 hours. She will occasionally get sleepy earlier on, and we just follow her cues. For example, last night she slept from 7:30-7:00. Not complaining! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1337985 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:16:30 +0000 tillma 1337985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.chipmunk: Oy! My sympathies! LO did that to begin with and I was dead on my feet during the day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1337981 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:13:12 +0000 lilteacherbee 1337981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8 weeks old and he normally goes to bed around 9:00. Last night, he fell asleep at 8:00, but then woke up to eat at 10:30. When he goes to bed around 9, he sleeps until 2-3am, then back to sleep until 6ish and then up for the day around 8. I'm enjoying the 9:00 bedtime right now especially because I'm going back to work next week and I'm glad to have some time with him in the evenings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1337976 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:06:58 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1337976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2am here, five months :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1337975 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:06:24 +0000 swedishfish 1337975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tillma: R started out a late sleeper but gradually moved her bedtime up. Now she's usually in bed by 7-7:30 at 6.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-lo-go-to-bed#post-1337973 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:04:18 +0000 tillma 1337973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time does your LO go to bed? DS is ten weeks old and goes to bed at eleven and then sleeps seven hours straight. We have tried to get him to fall asleep earlier ( because it would work better for our schedule) but he is like clockwork falling asleep at eleven despite our efforts. I have been getting a lot of comments lately about what a late bedtime LO has and was just wondering how normal this is? We were just thrilled to have a baby sleep that long and weren't overly concerned with what time that occurred! </p>
