Bed times

[itsmemeg]

What time is your baby going to bed for nighttime sleep?

We try to get E down between 7:30-8:30 but she takes usually 1-2 hours to get down to sleep successfully. Once she is asleep she is good, does a decent first stretch. It’s just getting her to sleep is the problem. Daytime sleep she puts herself to sleep 90% of the time and has no real issues going to sleep. I’m wondering if she prefers a later bedtime of 9-10pm instead. Which sucks for me bc imma grandma

My DD goes to bed between 7 and 7.30 so W has a big feed then goes down to bed after that - about 8 or 8.30. But... usually she’s not actually down for the night asleep and done fussing til about 10. Not sure why, it’s just how she rolls for now.

The boys go down between 8 and 8,30 usually. They wake up once during the night around 2 am and then are up for the day around 6,30.

We're trying to figure out her schedule, especially before I go back to work in a few weeks. Right now she's going down anywhere between 8and 10. Last night it took her almost an hour to fall asleep.

L is between 9:00-10 right now. We’re slowly moving it forward. He goes in the RnP fully swaddled, sometimes asleep and sometimes almost there. He usually just wakes once (KNOCK ON WOOD), between 3:30 and 4:30, and then up for good around 7:30.

Of course, V is almost always up at least once and usually starts his day with the sun, so he might as well be my newborn.

DS1 goes to bed around 9 and I have to be there to get him asleep so I try to get the baby in his crib swaddled before then if I can (8ish) or right after DS falls asleep (10ish)...if it’s 10ish, then he typically snoozes for a bit nap in the pack and play before hand.

We have been putting larzmini down around 8-8:30 on the rnp normally awake. She fusses for a bit and last night woke up to be fed at 10 but then slept until 4:45. I'm feeding her now and she will probably sleep until 8-10 this mirning. I would like to get her bedtime closer to 7 but this works for now.

Between 9:30&10:30 which is not ideal but it works for now. She's getting up for the day between 6:15&6:45 which I do not like.

Eventually, I need her going to bed around 8 like her brother. We'll get there.

Ok so it sounds like I am in the same boat as most of you with the later bedtime. Tonight we are going to try just a catnap around 7ish and then bed after that nap and feeding/bedtime routine stuff to see if that helps. She usually does about a 5 hour stretch and wakes between 2-3am and then again around 5-6am and then up for the day between 7-830am.

He usually is awake until around 11, but I wish it was more like 8-9. Someday maybe.

This week A has three reliable blocks of sleep: one during the day and two at night. Nighttime starts 930 and ends at 7:30 with two 3-4 hour blocks and 2-3 hours of eating.
She always falls asleep on the boob so I just keep putting her down all day and those are the only times she stays down.

[Pizzaslut]

She has been staying up until 11 or 12 which sucks but she has been sleeping until 7-7:30 so I’m not too mad. Starting when she’s around 8 weeks, I am going to try to get her to sleep between 7:30-8. When I go back to work, we have to be out of the door between 7:15-7:30 so I’m hoping we can get her to shift her schedule.

It's good seeing what you ladies are doing. Obviously F is too young yet for us to set it but it's good to get thinking :-)

[birkmmm]

We are not on any sort of schedule at all really :/ I’m not worried about it but this chat has me thinking I need to start one haha

[ajm]

I really need to get her on a schedule. I go back to work on July 2(!) and I'd love for her to have a wake up around 1am and then about 6:30/7am. And I need to start getting up earlier in the morning.

I struggled getting one kid out the door. I'm really going to struggle getting two out the door. Luckily DH is changing his schedule a bit so that he can help out in the morning.
