We wait until my daughter asks to go to bed. On a bad night, that's not until 9. But she'll ask for it, then go into her room and turn on her white noise machine and roll around on her bed. Then we change her, read the bedtime book, and nurse to sleep. On a good night it goes really quickly. It's awesome, I love how easy it is. Waiting for her to be ready can be a drag, but I'll take that forever over a nightly fight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758642 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:21:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 758642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: i didn't believe it when parents told me it gets harder when they get older, but it does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758636 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:19:33 +0000 Honeybee 758636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Haha, DD's bedtime routine lasts 2-3 hours. DS, on the other hand is usually out within 30 minutes. Such a difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758631 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:18:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 758631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i still nurse olive so bedtime is pretty easy. she is almost 19 months!</p> <p>bedtime was awesome for charlie until he was 2 and started climbing out of his crib. then it was downhill from there.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758623 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:16:16 +0000 tequiero21 758623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids are so much better now! I do bedtime routine and for the most arts, they fall asleep and sleep until around 5:30. I don't get them until around 6 and they just play in their cribs or yell at each other.... Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758615 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:13:33 +0000 Honeybee 758615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Ah poor baby! :/ It's also hard when you have to share a hotel room. Hopefully she'll have a good day tomorrow with her daddy and big sister. And hopefully you'll have a good day tomorrow, too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758592 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:03:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 758592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M. has always been the kind of kid who lays down at 7 and gently goes to sleep, and then sleeps until 7 am. But she doesn't deal with changes as well as I would like, so she screamed for an hour tonight before sleeping, despite holding, rocking and singing. Not fun in a hotel room far from home!</p> <p>Enjoy that sweet little man for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758590 Thu, 02 May 2013 21:02:50 +0000 autumnlove 758590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She does great at bedtime but dinner is a mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758581 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:59:20 +0000 winniebee 758581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: that part is nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758577 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:57:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 758577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still let her have a bottle and she still wakes up super early but at least the cuddles are nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758562 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:51:55 +0000 winniebee 758562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: he takes 1 nap at daycare at least once a week but not at home. I think you are right that he may sleep in when down to one nap. On occasion he will now sleep til 6 - which is sleeping in in my world! I'm glad it got better for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758556 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:49:38 +0000 Honeybee 758556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I bet it gets much better for you very soon. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758520 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:41:51 +0000 winniebee 758520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: wow!!! Naps and night sleep are good here (at home) but we still have an early riser and years before bed. Always. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758511 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:40:14 +0000 Honeybee 758511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I'm telling you, it was like all these amazing things happened when we switched to one nap! We bottle weaned, he started sleeping in, bedtime became a million times easier, he started sleeping through the night. Amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758505 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:39:01 +0000 winniebee 758505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I needed to read this. DS is almost 1 and its tears until bottle every night. How am I gonna bottle wean?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758488 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:35:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 758488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rock for a little bit and she's so sweet and then lays down so calmly it's kinda enjoyable too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/your-toddler-at-bedtime#post-758470 Thu, 02 May 2013 20:30:53 +0000 Honeybee 758470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the last month or so, DS has really calmed down at bedtime. It's such a relief! He used to cry from the moment he got out of the tub until I stuck the bottle in his mouth, but now he's so pleasant, I hate leaving him at night! Tonight he kept stroking my face and saying "Mama" softly. :) What a sweetie!</p> <p>How does your toddler do at bedtime? </p>
