How old is your LO and when do they go down for the night? LO is 3 months and her bedtime is 8:30. She usually still has a catnap from 7-7:45pm and I'm thinking maybe I should start moving her bedtime earlier. She sleeps from 8:30pm-7:30am with one early morning wake up to feed. How do I know when she is ready for an earlier bedtime? What I don't want is for her to go to sleep at 7:30 and be up for the day at 5:30!
Please share your "bedtimes"!

L is almost 10 months. It *was* 715 by I went away on a business trip and my husband pushed it back to 815. He also dropped two night feelings at the time and isn't waking at 6 anymore - so I will take it.

M is 6.5 months and it's 7:30-7:45. She just naturally fell into that, at 3 months it was still 10! Then it became 9, then 8:30, then 8, then 7:30. She still always woke up around 7, which was nice :). I would think she would stop waking up from that catnap and just sleep straight through when she's ready? I have no idea though!!

@dagret: I'd take a later bedtime over two night feedings too!
@sslm: you're probably right about waking up from her evening catnap. Her catnap is lying on me while I watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I could try putting her in the crib and seeing if she sleeps through.
@Smurfette: it's amazing how much a one hour time change can mess with a schedule!

14 months and 6:00-6:30. Bedtime is definitely earlier now than it was at 3, or even 6 months. We leveled out around 6:30 at around 9.5ish months.

15 mos and his bedtime is between 7:30-8pm. He only sleeps at most 10 hours so I try to get as close to a 6am wake up time as possible

LO is 12 months - goes down between 7:30 and 8 usually, earlier if it was a bad nap day -- and he usually wakes around 6:30.

@delight: he went from 3 to 1 night feeds! What a break from the midnight boob snacks can do!

8wks and it's a bit random still- bedtime is anywhere between 730-10pm and she wakes between 630-8am with a 10min feed at between 3-4am. I get confused by the late catnap or early bedtime thing. Like how do they know when it's time to start their long stretch?

3.5 months and around 8. I thought it was around 7 bc she started getting tired and fussy around then, but I realized she was still never falling asleep bf 8 anyway. Now wwe do quiet activities but keep her up until closer to 8 and start the bedtime routine and she's falling asleep at almost the same time anyway. It's better for us with Dh not getting home until 7 anyway.
She usually (as in the last 3 nights) wakes up around 3 to eat and goes back down, then sometimes before 6 and I bring her into our bed to nurse and snuggle back to sleep until 7 or 8.

@illumina: I'm also confused with the late catnap! LO usually is eating and napping though so I assume she is tanking up for a long stretch of nighttime sleep. I don't really want to mess with it!
@Mrs squirreld: you've got a good thing going for such a young LO!
@LemonLong: do you put LO to bed so early because you get up early for work? What time does your daycare open? I commute and need a day care that opens by 7 and that's even hard to find!

@delight: thanks! I hope it lasts! We are following the sleep schedule by Tizzie Hall (save our sleep) He seems to react well to routine so we are lucky.

LO is 9.5 mo - bath at 8, usually asleep by 8:30. Generally wakes up around 8/8:30. We sleep trained over the weekend and it looks like she may be dropping her habitual 4/5am feed. Fingers crossed.
