Those nights are brutal :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-914667 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:12:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 914667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel the SAME way!! LO is in bed around 7:15, 8 at the very latest if we are out and about. She sleeps until 6-7 every day so I don't want to mess with it, she needs 12 hours of sleep and due to our work the latest we can let her sleep is 7 am. I get bummed at BBQs and outings that we have to duck out as soon as we get there though. She's a bear if we keep her up any later than 8 though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-914666 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:12:40 +0000 heartonastring 914666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I'm still struggling this too. DD goes to bed around 9:30 and while I think it would be wise to make it earlier, I'm afraid to try, as she currently sleeps from 9:30 to sometime between 5 and 6 without waking. I'm concerned that if we move to an earlier bedtime she'll start waking in the middle of the night to eat.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-914642 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 08:06:00 +0000 kml636 914642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's 7 pm. I don't mess with it because when I have pushed it later, it backfires. If her afternoon nap is bad, we put her down at 6:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-914539 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 07:14:56 +0000 petunia354 914539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I wish I had some magic formula to give you! I think it was a combination of him getting older and taking more structured naps during the day. We didn't really have a bedtime routine until recently and he was eating every 2-3 hours until he was about 5 months so it really seemed silly to have a "bedtime" when he was up so much. So he'd just sleep in our arms until we went to bed around 10. But now that I am back to work and he spends the day with my mom, she has him on a strict nap schedule which I think has helped push his bedtime earlier. He wakes up at 5:30, first nap at 8:30, and second nap around 1 and then goes to bed at 6:30, although it's sometimes a struggle to get him to stay up even that late!</p> <p>Give it time, I think your LO will slowly move to an earlier bedtime. Have you tried moving it up maybe 15 or 30 minutes? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-914114 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:38:00 +0000 sslm 914114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: how did you move it? Our LO sets her bedtime at 10pm and we'd really like to move it earlier. Any tips would be awesome :) (she's 11 weeks, don't know if that matters) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-914076 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:23:01 +0000 apis 914076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8.00-8.30pm for 8.5 months. But that's with 3 naps, and he sleeps through the night*, so we're reluctant to change that up too much right now.</p> <p>* hoping I didn't just jinx this evening's sleep pattern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-913983 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:42:45 +0000 winniebee 913983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30 though lately his afternoon nap has gotten so late he often isn't asleep until 8. He is up around 6/6:30. He's almost 14 months. </p> <p>It was 7 pm for the longest time. That sucked because he only ever sleeps 10 hrs overnight which meant we were up at 5 many days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-913947 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:23:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 913947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9:30! But...but, he is almost 9m and still doing 3 naps.<br /> So, 3 naps + 12h a night sleep means that he isn't tired until about 9:15-9:30pm.<br /> Works out great for us. I imagine it'll move up once he eliminates a nap or 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-911945 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 07:09:51 +0000 mediagirl 911945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm so glad to hear this. My 1 year old goes to sleep by 6:30 every night and I don't want to mess with it - EVER. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime/page/2#post-911934 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 07:01:51 +0000 petunia354 911934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>O is 6 months and goes to bed between 6:30 and 7 every night! Much better than the 10:00 bedtime he used to set for himself... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911923 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:52:21 +0000 cascademom 911923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ever since sleep training at 6 months, he's down at 7pm and sleeping until 6-7am. I saw lots of babies out at a huge music festival DH and I went to. I kept on yelling in my head, get those babies to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911918 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:48:50 +0000 BelugaBean 911918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've felt the same way before. When she was around 8 months her bedtime was 5:45. Then she moved to around 7 and now at 11.5 months she usually lays down at 7:30. </p> <p> But a lot of people I know are out with their babies later than 7:30 and their kids don't go to bed until 9, 10, or 11. I get jealous that we can't go watch fireworks or go to some of the nighttime music events that we have here in the summer but I also don't want to mess with her sleep and I do value the alone time DH and I have. It also makes it easier when someone wants to watch her so that we can lay her down at 7:30 and then go get a late dinner or something and they don't have to worry about her bedtime routine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911912 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:41:45 +0000 edelweiss 911912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 5.5 months, and like @Rubies:, goes to bed between 5.30 and 6pm. part of this is because of our long commutes and having to start our day really early (and therefore ending it early). i definitely get pangs of self-doubt when i see parents out with their babies much later, but that's how things have worked out for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911903 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:26:48 +0000 mynoahbear 911903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Between 7:30 and 8:15. She's 18 months. It was 7:00 but once it started to stay lighter later, she's been pushing her bedtime to later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911899 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:19:36 +0000 GrapeCrush 911899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at 14 months between 8-9 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911874 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 03:43:03 +0000 Sweet T 911874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS goes to bed around 8:00 each night at 22 months old. When he was closer to your LO's age, bedtime was at 7:00 and we rarely strayed from that. He's a little more flexible now but we still try to be home by bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911854 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 00:46:10 +0000 sandy 911854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: My LO had a 5:30/6:00 bedtime forever...I miss it! She used to sleep 6:00pm to 7:00am up until about 15 months...</p> <p>Now at 19 months her bedtime is 8:00pm. We start her bedtime routine no later than 7:30 and she's in bed by 8:00pm. She wakes up between 7:30am and 8:00am. Sometimes I think about waking her early to try and get her to a 7:00am to 7:00pm schedule, but for now the 8:00am to 8:00pm is working for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911830 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 23:31:23 +0000 MusicaV 911830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months, 9 pm since 3.5 months. We tried to move it earlier but LO would just cry instead of falling asleep. It works out well for us since DH gets to spend time with LO in the evenings. I don't see how we could ever put LO down before 7:30 with our lifestyle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911820 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 23:21:51 +0000 skibobrown 911820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We start bedtime routine at 7 PM with a bath, and DD is usually in bed around 7:30. She would be happy to stay up and party for a little longer, but we can tell she's pretty much exhausted by the time 7 rolls around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911811 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 23:01:21 +0000 googly-eyes 911811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually between 7 and 8!

At one point it was 10 pm. Yikes! My oldest (4) would sometimes stay up lying in his bed until 11pm. That was when I said no more. So I've been trying to get them in bed and sleeping by 9:30pm at the latest. Now that I'm doing this solo for a few months I do try to move things up so I can get more down time before bed time. My oldest usually wakes up around 7:30am and my youngest (15 months) around 8:30am. Works for me! Overall, they get enough sleep. If my oldest sleeps late I nap him the next day to make up for the loss hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911706 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:35:35 +0000 dagret 911706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 months, 730. But right now he's been up wide awake for an hour and a half. I think bc he slept the whole way home in the car today. Kill me now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911688 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:22:11 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 911688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours go to bed at 7 pm and 10 pm. Both are pretty inflexible about their bedtimes (the 10 pm is despite my attempts to move it forward!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911687 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:20:57 +0000 MrsStar 911687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is 9.5 months and is in bed between 7.30-8 usually. She sleeps through until 6.30-7. If her naps run late then her bedtime gets pushed back. This allows her to have her dinner with us and for dh to spend some time with her before she goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-is-your-los-bedtime#post-911681 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:17:37 +0000 NovBaby1112 911681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her bedtime used to be 630/730 for a really long time, but about a month ago we pushed it back to 730/830 depending on last nap. She's almost 8 months. She seems to sleep better and sleep in later with a later bedtime. </p>
