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...
-
@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.
-
9:30! But...but, he is almost 9m and still doing 3 naps.
So, 3 naps + 12h a night sleep means that he isn't tired until about 9:15-9:30pm.
Works out great for us. I imagine it'll move up once he eliminates a nap or 2. -
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.
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!
-
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.
* hoping I didn't just jinx this evening's sleep pattern.

@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)

@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!
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?
-
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.
-
@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....
-
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!
-
IF (and that's a big IF) we're lucky his bedtime is around 8.
He's been up until 1am though. Those nights are brutal
