He is 6mo and we are still on that schedule (though we are flexible if we happen to be out sometimes he stays up later). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2532210 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:17:50 +0000 Finfan 2532210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: DH loves it because he is a night owl and I can feed baby (before leaving for work) while he and DD1 sleep until 8:30-9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2532195 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 12:05:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 2532195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 and 4 months, and they both go to bed around 8. The 4 month old occasionally takes a little longer to get down, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2532174 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 11:42:27 +0000 wrkbrk 2532174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: This has been nearly exactly our non-schedule so far! Haha. Works for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2532165 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 11:34:47 +0000 wrkbrk 2532165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Keybee: We did this too, the whole time I was on leave. I have been back at work for almost 2 months now (sheesh!) and we are just starting to put DS (5 months) down sooner. It seems he starts showing sleep cues around 8, so we take him up at 8 and go up ourselves around 9:30 (he is still in our room). Good luck! I am a believer in doing what works for your baby, not doing what everyone else does ... ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2532151 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 11:19:19 +0000 Astro Bee 2532151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickles: before I went back to work he was waking up on our own at 7:15, which was so nice for me to sleep in. Now, DH and I get up at 5:40, get ready, and then get LO up around 6. Most of the time he is already awake, so I guess he has adjusted to the new schedule. He takes 2-2.5 he naps at daycare, so I guess he is getting enough sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2532141 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 11:12:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2532141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: exact same<br /> we get up and start our day at 5am though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2531856 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 07:49:35 +0000 SweetiePie 2531856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age he was going to bed around 6/6:30.<br /> Many of the sleep professionals recommend bedtime for infants to be between 5 and 7pm and no later. And one theory is that that's why so many have a witching hour between those hours - it's because they are overtired and need to go to bed. For us it was very true, but every baby is different. And it's a lot easier to do that early of a bedtime since I SAH. </p> <p>Aside from helping them get lots of sleep, it has the added benefit of extra alone time for mom/dad :-) I love having a chunk of time from 7pm to 11pm to do what I want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2531825 Fri, 22 Apr 2016 07:24:34 +0000 Astro Bee 2531825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 12.5 months old and goes to bed bw 6:00-6:30. I sometimes wish he could stay up later, since we only get an hour and a half together before he goes to bed. We eat after he goes to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2530812 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:46:16 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2530812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On average 8:30 for our almost 11mo, but DH works fairly late &amp; we sometimes are still eating dinner at 8pm. I'd love to get her to bed in the 7:00 hour, but don't want DH to miss seeing her, so I try to keep her happy long enough to visit during dinner, then she's off to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2530804 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:39:15 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2530804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 months. We have actually recently shifted bedtime to be a bit later. Between 7:30-8. 8 works the best for her to sleep through the night though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2530799 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:36:19 +0000 gingerbebe 2530799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30pm has been his bedtime since about 4 months.

I didn't when he was brand new, but have been for the last few weeks and it hasn't seemed to bother his skin. Not too dry here, overall, but I am still running the humidifier in his room and putting lotion on right after bath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2530207 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 21:23:30 +0000 peaches1038 2530207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 5.5 months old and the bedtime routine starts around 7:15 and he's asleep by 7:45 at the latest.

I change her and get her into her jammies around 8, she plays for a little longer, she cuddles and plays with both of us, I nurse her, she drifts off. I keep her in the living room with me, I nurse her once more before I go to bed around midnight and put her down in her crib. She usually wakes once to eat and spends the second half of the night in our bed. She sleeps til around 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-does-your-baby-go-to-bed-at-night#post-2530200 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 21:08:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2530200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My three month old and fifteen month old are both asleep by 7:30.
