She was tired! She passed out before 6.<br /> DS' earliest was a little before 5pm! He was sleepy and slept til 6:30-6:45 the following morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1218280 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:57:57 +0000 Mamaof2 1218280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>630!</p> <p>I pick them up at 445 and we are home at 5pm. Eat at 530 - if its a day that she missed her nap and needs to be in bed we skip the bath! So its upstairs at 615 and in bed with lights out at 630!</p> <p>It sucks but its doable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1218275 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:54:51 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1218275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually put M to bed at 7, but when she's really tired we put her down at 6:30. When she needs to go to bed, one of us drops everything to make it happen because life is miserable for everyone when she's overtired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1218259 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:43:05 +0000 irene 1218259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7:30pm.... I wish I could get him down at 7 or earlier! He has dinner at 5:30-ish now and it is still a mad dash to get him to bed. He is the slowest eater in the world. By the time he finished it would be around 6:15. sometimes even later. </p> <p>ETA: And the problem is, he is very unwilling to go down! Everyday he'd be happily playing and reading with me and I bet he could go hours if I let him. Once I put him into his crib he would burst out crying, even though he'd pass out in 5 minutes after we leave.</p> <p>Every morning I have to wake him at 6:45 and it hurts me. This morning we have to be earlier, and he was snoring away when I was in his room at 6:35, and after 5 minutes of noises he is still snoring. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1218254 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 07:39:15 +0000 yin 1218254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No nap for LO, and the earliest he has gone down for bed is 6:45.

It actually used to be 9 before daylight savings (and she would sleep until 8:30), but somehow everything got screwed up and now she goes to bed at 7:30 or 8;00 because she wakes up at an ungodly hour. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217776 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:26:34 +0000 autumnlove 1217776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217768 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:25:07 +0000 mrs. wagon 1217768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: yes! We work 8-4 and the daycare is open 7-545. It takes about an hour to get to the daycare so shifting everything earlier is the only way we can make it work. Our mornings are lightning fast!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217758 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:23:08 +0000 mrbee 1217758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Ah that's an early pickup...

The earliest we could get him into bed would probably be 6:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217737 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:17:12 +0000 yoursilverlining 1217737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>90% of the time she's asleep pretty much right at 8. The odd nights she's down earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217701 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:05:22 +0000 Mrs. Deer 1217701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Though not a toddler, babe's usually asleep by 6:45!

It was awesome, but I didn't like seeing her so loopy and cranky at the end of the day. The girl still needs her naps!</p> <p>Usually she's down by 8-8:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217684 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:03:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1217684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used to have her down by 7 but now it's usually 8. I hate that it's so late because she really needs the sleep, but we just can't seem to get her to bed on time any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217682 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:02:13 +0000 sarac 1217682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's sleep changes drastically month to month. Right now she's going to bed fairly easily by about 9, and sleeping until 6 or 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217670 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 22:00:21 +0000 T-Mom 1217670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Earliest ever was 6:45 because DS was begging to go to sleep! However, he woke up really early the next day. Usually it's 7:30 for DS and 8 for DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217667 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 21:59:49 +0000 winniebee 1217667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually try for 7:30....but lots of times it's 8. He used to sleep til 7, but now it's more like 6 so 7:30 is even more key. But I tried for 7:15 tonight and he just played in his crib until 7:30 anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-earliest-you-get-your-toddler-to-bed#post-1217660 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 21:58:37 +0000 mrbee 1217660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we hurry, we can get the kids to bed by 8 pm... if we really race, we can even hit 7:30 pm. But it's not easy!!</p> <p>We really need to get them down by 7:30 though, because they need 12 hours of sleep and they're not getting it right now...</p> <p>What's the earliest you're able to get your toddler to bed? </p>
