What time is bedtime for your baby?

[auberge]

I'm wondering if I should move up my dd bedtime. I've been putting her down between 7:15 and 7:30pm.

She gets cranky every night at 6:30pm and sometimes falls asleep. I'm scared that if I put her down early she will wake up even earlier in the morning or more throughout the night. I don't want that.

What time is your child's bedtime and how old?

Starting at 5 months she decided to go to bed at 6:30. It's almost always between 6-7 now for the past 2 months.

DD and DS1: 7:30pm, although sometimes they don't fall asleep until 8:30pm if they napped (3.5 years old)

DS2: 6:30pm (8 months, been about that since 3 months)

DD's is about 7:30 at 10 months.

10 months and bedtime is 7:30. Around 6 months she set a bedtime for herself of 6:30. This lasted a couple months and did not change her usual wake up time range of 7am-8am. I did find 6:30 incredibly inconvenient though and I was glad when she moved it to 7:30.

8:00 at almost 5 months, give or take 30 minutes.

[pugz]

830

At almost 2, she goes down at 6:30-7, which has been her bedtime since 4 months (other than the weird spell of 5:30 bedtime for a month around 18 months).

[slipsey]

7:30 usually. We start bedtime routine at 7, so he is usually in his crib by 7:30, but sometimes does not fall asleep until closer to 8.

6:15 pm. It was 7pm in the past and I like that a lot better, hopefully we'll work back up to a later time.

[mrssandro]

We always start bed time around 8. Even when she was itty bitty.

[halfpint]

We take him upstairs just after 7pm. By the time we do jammies and nurse, he's usually passed out in his crib between 7:30 and 8pm.

[soozy87]

We are going with the flow and he goes to bed around 9:30-10:00. He is about 4 months.

[havarti]

7:30 at almost 14 months.

[fbf2006]

Anywhere between 7-8pm.

[daisy24342]

5 months and he goes down around 7

[sjh722]

Between 7:00 and 7:30. She kind of just settled into that herself. Some nights she'll act tired earlier and we put her down at 6:30 - 6:45 and she sleeps the same amount of time before waking.

[ktw]

She's 6.5 months, and bedtime is 7.

[noodleskooze]

He's 7.5 months/ usually in bed around 8 to 8:30.

[magpie]

4 months and she goes down between 6:45-7. Of course, she has been waking at 5:45 every morning, but it am attributing that the the 4 month wakeful. Before her sleep went to shit a couple of weeks ago, she slept until 6:30 or 7am.

[pinkdutchtulips]

when she was a baby 8:30-9p ... she took 2 90 min naps/day at daycare.

at 4 1/2 she still has the same 8:30-9p bedtime. no naps during the day though !

[Deleted]

6 months, between 7 and 8 depending on when naps fall.
DS is almost 3 and it's lights out around 8:30 (up at 7).

[h]

8:30 for my 10 month old.

[ginkgoleaf]

We aim for 8, but usually it's more like 8:30. DS is 2y10m.

[djc315]

8pm. He's 16 months.

[turtlegirl]

DS1 is 3 and goes to bed at 8pm

DS2 is 19 months and goes to bed between 7/730pm


When DS1 was 4-5 months old we regularly put him to bed at 6/630pm. He would STTN until 6am. His wake up time didn't change if we put him to bed later, so we stuck with the early bedtime because it meant so much wonderful kid free time in the evenings. I don't think it was until 18 months or so that he started going to bed at 7pm and then didn't switch to 8pm until he was around 2.5/3 years old.

[MadamePresident]

We do bedtime at 7 and Nods usually wakes just before 7am regardless of when she goes to bed. The only time she ever sleeps in is when we have to be somewhere first thing in the morning.

[rt2008]

Between 6 and 7 p.m. Depends on when she wakes up from her last nap. She hasn't fallen asleep past 7 in a very long time though.

[scribellesam]

Creeping up on 2 and goes to bed at 7pm. He probably is asleep by 7:30, and currently wakes up between 6:00 and 6:30 on a normal day. We've been doing the 7pm bedtime since he was a year, probably? Ever since he dropped the third nap.

[pescalita]

7:30

A was 8 until sometime around 15 months? He was getting cranky and waking up early, so we moved up his bed time.

J started going down at the same time around 6 weeks. His natural bedtime is probably earlier, he usually falls asleep either during dinner or on our dog walk, but that's fine with me for now.
