We wake her up during the week at 6 so it works. We also highly appreciate having that time to ourselves at night. (Ps my husband has no idea how good we have it, he whines that we "only" have two solid hours to relax by the time bedtime and our dinner is over 😒). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640768 Sun, 23 Oct 2016 08:46:45 +0000 mrsrain 2640768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start bedtime at 7pm for both kids. DD (2.5) is usually in bed with the lights out by 7:30.

LO is almost 3. I would love to push it back closer to 8 pm, but he wakes up at 5:30-6:00 a.m. every morning, no matter how late we pushed his bedtime, so the late bedtime wasn't working for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640573 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 17:29:36 +0000 brownepiano 2640573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS 1 (2.5) is 6:30/6:45 depending on how we are all doing<br /> Ds2 (4.5 months) is supposed to be 6:30 but I often take him up to nurse to sleep at 6:00 because he's a mess. </p> <p>Apparently we are on the early side but they get up at 6:30/7:00 every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640558 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 16:48:28 +0000 Cherrybee 2640558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E (3) dropped her nap last Christmas, way before she was really ready, and we needed to push her bedtime from 7pm to 6.30.

Sometimes she asks to go to bed at 5.30 and I try to eek her out as long as I can.....! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640526 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 15:06:36 +0000 808love 2640526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 year old. 8:15.

We are very very strict about that bedtime. He wakes once a night to nurse, and gets up at 6:15. Hoping he stays like this for a while.

We have tried earlier bedtimes, still 9 before she goes to sleep, even on no naps days. Tired 830 and then it is closer to 930 before she goes to sleep. I guess she just takes that long to wind down. It is exhausting though, lately she is really fighting bedtime, like coming out 3-4 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640164 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 10:41:26 +0000 snowjewelz 2640164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>22 months, in bed by 8, asleep by 8:30 the latest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640134 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 09:46:41 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2640134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caterw: You're not the only one!

DD naps at daycare during the week and if we put her to bed before 9 it's a battle. Around 9 and she goes down relatively easily. On the weekends she won't nap for us and will go to bed around 7:30 or 8:00. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640069 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:44:49 +0000 caterw 2640069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl: thank God I'm not the only one lol.</p> <p>3 years old and she gets in bed at 9-9:30. I want to move it back but she will just get out of bed so oh well. She is about ready to drop her nap and I'm hoping for earlier bedtime once she loses that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640067 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:41:15 +0000 Banana330 2640067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>18 months.. - 6:30 most days.. she's a tired mess otherwise </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640058 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:27:45 +0000 Mamaof2 2640058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 yr old 7:30</p> <p>8 yr old 8:15</p> <p>(this is lights out time) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640055 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:24:05 +0000 irene 2640055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4.5 yo, 8:15-ish </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2640012 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 22:29:54 +0000 SweetiePie 2640012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7pm</p> <p>DS is newly 2 and I thought maybe he was ready to push bedtime a touch later. Instead of 7/7:15 we were trying 7:45-ish. Meaning dinner and bath were also a bit later.<br /> Well bath time and bedtime routine turned into a disaster. Screaming for me if I'm not in the room (after 2 years of being totally fine with DH doing bedtime). Hysterical crying. Thrashing at tooth brush time. Hitting me when I put PJs on. Trying to roll off of the Changing table. Really all things that are very out of his character, he's a pretty happy dude and a good listener. I'm a sleep nazi with him but somehow I didn't make any association between the later bedtime and his behavior. I just thought maybe that's what the terrible twos are. </p> <p>My husband said we should try to move bedtime back to 7-ish. Weve done it the last two nights. Each night he's back to his normal angelic self. #7pmbedtime4liiiife </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2639998 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 21:06:02 +0000 stay happy 2639998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 20 months old and goes to bed at 7:30, it's been her bedtime since she was 3-4 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2639986 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 20:45:34 +0000 dolphin 2639986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD1: almost 4 years old, 8-8:30<br /> DD2: 15 months, 7-7:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-bedtime-these-days-1#post-2639985 Thu, 20 Oct 2016 20:44:45 +0000 CakeLady 2639985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a mess these days so anywhere between 7:30 and 8:30.
