Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

DD usually falls asleep between 8-8:30 on her own, but if she isn't tired she stays up until she passes out.

we don't have a set bedtime... they go to sleep when they are tired.... whether it b 7pm or 11pm

for the most part its between 8-9pm with the occasional 10-11pm (when they try to wait up for mommy to come home from going out, which is usually once a week)

DD is 2.5 and DS is 4.5

Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

I think with really young kids 2-3 some of it is how much sleep they are getting more so than the exact time. My girls go down 745-815. But they sleep around 11-12 hours. 730 might be okay for one child - but if you have to get them up at 530 to get to daycare or other arrangement it might be too late. Vice versa - I have friends who husbands work late and so they go down 9 or even 10 but they do not have to be anywhere in the morning so they sleep later accordingly. So I think how many hours of sleep is more important than the actual bed time.

Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

We start the bedtime routine around 745. After hide and go seek in her room, reading books and some talking we lay her down at aprox 815 and she is usually asleep between 830-845. Thats if she takes her usual nap 130-3pm If she doesnt nap she passes out by 7.

Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

DS is 3 and goes to bed between 9 and 9:30. It has been this way for a long time. We've tried to get him down earlier, but he'll just toss and turn for an hour. He has always been more of a 10-11 hour per night sleeper.

I am big on early bedtimes for toddlers. My 2.5 year old DD goes to bed between 7 and 730..usually closer to 7.

Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

it was 8-ish----but DD has been really tough to put down and pushes it to 9:30ish.

Re: What is your 2 - 3 year old's bedtime?

DS is almost 2.5. Used to be 7:45-8 and he'd fall asleep in 20 minutes. Since the time change, it's been taking him about an hour to fall asleep and so he falls asleep closer to 9 or 9:15. He wakes at 7:30. He naps 2+ hours. If he sleeps past 3, bedtime is more difficult. But if I wake him from his nap, he's super cranky
