She does get up at 5 am on weekdays because that's when I wake her up, but on weekends she will sleep to 6-7 uninterrupted. I say give it a try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-its-5pm-baby-is-overtired#post-1268814 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:12:40 +0000 swurlygurl 1268814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted catnap - We did a catnap at 5 pm for a couple months, and then put her to bed at 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-its-5pm-baby-is-overtired#post-1268463 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 00:19:59 +0000 QBbride 1268463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. I think he's teething so his sleep has kinda sucked recently.</p> <p>We usually start our bedtime routine (bath, PJs, nurse) by 6:15 or so and he is asleep by 7. I don't really want to put him to bed much earlier since my husband would barely see him, but of course I'll do what's best for baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-its-5pm-baby-is-overtired#post-1268300 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:49:33 +0000 cmomma17 1268300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd start bumping the bedtime earlier and see if it helps. We went from bedtime at 730, to 7, to now usually starting the routine around 630/640. He's getting better rest overall and didn't change his wake up time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-its-5pm-baby-is-overtired#post-1268299 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:49:02 +0000 Penny Lane 1268299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: this. </p> <p>it can't hurt to try it for one night and see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-its-5pm-baby-is-overtired#post-1268289 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:41:52 +0000 immabeetoo 1268289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just try the early bed time. I know it's scary to mess with sleep, but it's only one night ya know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wwyd-its-5pm-baby-is-overtired#post-1268268 Sun, 08 Dec 2013 20:30:12 +0000 QBbride 1268268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi bees,<br /> Just a question... My almost 6 month old has been sleeping pretty bad at night and for naps recently, and by the time 5pm rolls around he's overtired. So I've been holding him and letting him nap for 20-30 mins then bathing him, feeding, and bedtime. I'm tempted to just skip the catnap and put him straight to bed, but will he wake up at like 5am??</p> <p>He normally sleeps 7pm-6am with 1 dream feed and 1-2 wakeups.</p> <p>WWYD?? </p>
