My LO transitioned from 3 to 2 naps around 6-6.5 months and he regularly went to bed between 5:45 and 6:30 (usually closer to 6). Since you're transitioning naps, just make sure you're stretching the time between wake up, naps and bedtime to 2.5-3+ hours because if he isn't getting enough awake time during the day, he will definitely be waking up super early in the morning!

10. She goes to sleep at ten with us (we cosleep) and wakes up around 10AM.

Edit: she's eight months now but she's been in this schedule for the most part since around five months.

@QBbride: Yes!!! I think your schedule from today looks awesome! For a lot of people, a 2-3-4 schedule works well. For my LO, we were more like 3-3-2.5 because he needed more awake time in the morning to nap better. Basically, you should aim to have about 8-9 hours of awake time at that age.

@QBbride: that's also the time when my LO went to 2 naps. In the beginning, he went to bed so early, like asleep by 6 PM, but it slowly moved back. Until we transitioned to one nap, and then it was 6 PM again and it's slowly moving back

@QBbride: I say try it! My LO did that for 2 months, then around 8 went to a 3 - 3 -4.5 ish and then at 11 months started transitioning to one nap (BOO!). My husband fortunately had the flexibility to go in earlier for a while and come home earlier, it's hard though!

@QBbride: she's also doing two longer naps and a short cat nap around 4:30-5 pm. The few times she hasn't gotten that nap, she's been in bed at 6 or 6:30. Our LO just can't stay awake more than 2 or MAYBE 2.5 hours.

But I understand about your husband's job. Mine doesn't get home until 6:30 or later so I also feel like the second he walks in the door he changes our of work clothes and then we have to start the bath. =(

7:00 - 7:30 when Xander was 6 months.

Now at 9 months, he goes to bed between 6:00 and 7:00. Going to sleep earlier usually means sleeping longer for us!

630-700 and would wake up at 6-630

She was in bed at 730, but woke up around 6

@Anagram: I am running into the same problem with LO's bedtime / my husband's job. I am trying the 2-3-4 thing today (she is 7.5 months) to see how it goes, because her sleep has been weird lately.
But if she goes to bed before 6:40 (usual bedtime is 7:00) she won't get to see him at all. And he won't get to see her except on weekends! Such a bummer!

I might just have to keep letting her take a little cat nap so that he can see her. He kind of gets depressed when he misses her every single day.

7pm. I think it needs to be pushed earlier but DH is really fighting me on it. LO starts melting down around 6pm.

She keeps changing it around on me a bit, but yesterday this was her sleep...
