If your infant had an early bedtime...

... did it continue into toddlerhood?

James is down for the night between 6:45 and 7 pm. He'll sleep until 6:45 the next morning when we have to wake him to go to the sitter (during the week) and until 7:30 or so on the weekends. On the weekends, I'll give him his morning bottle, bring him into bed and he'll sleep another 2 hours or so.

I would LOVE to have this sleeping trend continue. So - if your infant went to bed this early, did it stay like this for a while? If it got later, about when did it happen?

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

DD has gone to bed by 7:30p since she was a few weeks old, she just turned 3 and this is still her bedtime, except for the few occasions we let her stay up a little later or if we are out.

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

Jack was in bed by 6:30 until he was about 18 months old.

Then it moved to 7.

Now it's pretty much 7:30-8:00 depending on what time he gets up from his nap.

I LOVED the 6:30 bedtime, it felt like I still had an entire night ahead of me.

Tyler now goes to bed at 6:30 so it's nice bc we have some alone time with just Jack at the end of the day.

DD is 16 mos and still goes to bed at 645 every night if she goes past that she's a nut case

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

This post makes me happy. Baby boy insists on going down between 6 anf 630 and sleeps through 7am

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

DD always went to bed at 7:30 (w/ a brief 8:30 stint as a tiny infant) & now at almost 3 still goes to bed at 7:45 & wakes up at 7.

DS is 11 months & used to go to bed at 6:30...just recently we cut his late nap & now he gets his last bottle at 7 & is asleep by 7:30. He wakes up around 7 am too.

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

DS used to sleep from about 7pm-7am from 5 months until about 18 months. Then summer came and it was closer to 7:30 for the next year. Then it bumped again. He now goes to bed between 8:30-9:00, but he also still takkes a napp from about 3pm-5pm.

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

DD is 15 months and is asleep by 630/645 most nights. We wake her up during the week at around 615 and on the weekends she usually gets up between 7-8.

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

It stayed that way until about 16 months. Then his bedtime became around 7:30pm.

Now at 22 months, he goes to bed at 8pm.

Re: If your infant had an early bedtime...

DS went to bed at 7 til about 1, then it went to 7:30 til about 2. The summer after he turned 2 his bedtime creeped up and up.....since then he goes to bed 8:30ish.

Since the twins were born he stays up later, usually til 9ish. They go to bed 7-7:30 then he has some time with just me before bed.
