8pm bedtime?? Super fussy baby in the late afternoon

Question

Does anybody else have a super fussy baby come 4ish 5ish?? My baby is non stop fussy until bedtime which is usually 7pm.. sometimes I just want to put her to bed at 6pm but it just seems too early.. it sucks because my husband usually comes home from work at 8pm.. I really wish we could move her bedtime to 830pm but she gives me hell and doesn't want to nap sometimes at 5pm.. for ladies who have baby's that have a bedtime around 8pm.. how does your schedule look like?

Answer

YES!! Our daughter is SO fussy around the same time! She gets baby food around 5:30-6 then I usually let her take a quick 15-20min cat nap in her swing or just in me, then I wake her up, she's in a great mood! Then we have bath time at 8 and bed by 9! But once I go back to work we're bumping bath time to 7 and bed by 8 so mama can get things done and get sleep before work! 👍🏻

Answer

My LOs bedtime is 7:30 so alittle earlier. But we try for a catnap from 5-5:30 I usually our her down about 4:50. If she doesn't sleep bedtime for that night gets moved up, if she does her bedtime stays the same. I think she is getting ready to drop that last nap (4th of the day) in which case I will shift all her naps later so she doesn't get overtired.

My SO works late as well and I just let him know if she is going to bed early so he knows he won't see her until the next day. It sucks but I feel her sleep is more important.

My 6 month old has been on this schedule since 4 months: 
Wakes around 6:45/7:15am and is up until morning nap around 9/9:30am-11am. Up for a couple hours, plays, eats her oatmeal cereal, starts winding down for mid day nap which is about 12:30/1pm and lasts until about 2:30/3pm. Then plays a lot and begins getting tired for last nap that is about 5:30-6:30/7pm then up for a little veggie & fruit before bath at 7:30 and in bed by 8/8:30pm.

Answer

We wake up around 730 hour nap about 2 -2 1/2 hours later for about 30-40 minutes wake up play then 2 or 3 hours later take another nap between for same amount of time then around then 2-3 hours later another nap but this one is usually 2 hours. On the short end 1 1/2 on the long end 3 hours. Then bed at 830 (:

If that helps.

Answer

Tonight her last nap was at 3pm which she woke up at 4pm from.. she started to get sleepy around 5pm so I tried to get her to nap but she just went nuts.. so I put her to bed around 645pm.. she didn't even want to nurse because she was so tired.. now I'm expecting her to wake up at midnight 😕
