Re: Bedtimes

IN my opinion, if it works for your family on a daily basis then do it. HOwever, if you find him waking early and not getting enough shuteye I would have him in bed earlier.

Re: Bedtimes

(age 3) - bedtime is 9 p.m, but we are transitioning to no naps and earlier bed since he starts preschool in September. He sleeps in until 8-8:30 a.m.

(age 1) - bedtime is 8 p.m., sometimes 8:30. She also sleeps in until 8-8:30 a.m. A couple of times she is up at 7 though (we are NOT morning people here!).

Re: Bedtimes

Sydney is 9 1/2 months old.... she goes to bed between 9:30 and 10:30. I love it, we get to spend a ton of time together after work without feeling rushed.

Re: Bedtimes

Nicholas is 19 months and he goes down at 8:30 pm. Before he did it at 9:00 pm but we decided to move his bed time. Today he was so tired that he went to sleep at 8:00 pm.

Re: Bedtimes

Anywhere between 9-10. He USED to get up at 8-8:30 but recently it's been 6:30-7

Re: Bedtimes

We've been able to stretch her bedtime to 7:30, but usually she's miserably tired by 7:15. She was going to bed by 6:30 every night for months, and I couldn't take it anymore because if I needed to go somewhere she'd be so cranky, so we adjusted her bedtime, and it's works out great.
I think that if you put your child down later, at like 9:30, and it works for you, then why not? But if you're not happy with that time, then I will tell you this: I've always read you can put a baby down earlier and they'll sleep to their normal time, but you can't put a baby down later and expect them to sleep later. So, I took that advice when she was a couple of months old, and it really helped.

Re: Bedtimes

DD is 5 months old and goes to bed between 8-9 and gets up between 7 and 8. (today it was 9 ) Once she is down she is down for the night, so she has all of her feedings before bed.

Re: Bedtimes

She usually goes to bed between 7pm and 8pm. She wakes up around 6ish for a bottle then goes back down for another hour...sometimes

Re: Bedtimes

Bella is gonna be 2 in September and she DEMANDS to be in bed no later than 8. She is normally in bed at 7:15 on most nights. Ask my sis, she has physically attempted to climb INTO her crib when she wants to go to bed.

I wish she was more flexible with bedtime sometimes, but my daughter asks for night-night and will beg for it after a certain time, I don't know one day in the last year where she went to bed later...no matter where we are.
She sleeps until 7 am or earlier, but she is not allowed out of her crib until 7 am and she knows it and is pretty good about it.

Re: Bedtimes

my kids are 9 months and go to bed at 6 pm.
