Change sleep routine?

Question

So my little one who is 3 months old goes to bed at 2am every night (well, morning, but you get what I mean 😭) she normally wakes up around 6am to eat a little bit, and then will wake up completely herself around 11am and naps a couple of times a day. What can I do that will get her to sleep earlier in the day? Do I wake her up in the morning earlier so she gets tired earlier? Or is that too mean to wake her up? I just need advice!

Answer

I knew that when I wanted to go back to work, I wanted baby on a 730-730 schedule so I just started getting her up that early to start her day. The key is to be consistent. Now she takes about 3-4 naps and goes down around 7:30-8. The sucky part is we keep it up on weekends too.

Answer

Definitely start by making her get up for the day by 7-8 o’clock and in bed by 7-8. It’ll take about a week for adjusting but worth it in the long run. At 3 months she should have about 3-4 naps a day also. But I wouldn’t worry too much about naps until you get your night time schedule fixed.

Answer

I did a baby led schedule with my twins. They were going to bed about that time and slowly started going to sleep earlier. When I switched them from our room to their nursery at almost 3 months they went from going to bed at midnight to 6:30-7pm and they usually doing wake up until about 8-9am. But they fight taking naps pretty hard now. They usually just cat nap during the day. I’d rather them sleep forever during the night though then fight with them over naps.

Answer

Oh gosh lol that schedule needs some help. We’ve never our our daughter to bed after midnight. The latest she ever went down was 9:30/10ish and that was as a newborn. By 2 months, we were putting her down at 8/8:30pm.  We then set a real schedule at 3.5/4 months (she’s now 8 months and the routine is still the same). She goes to bed at 6:30pm and sleeps through until 7am. She then has two 1.5 to 2 hour naps at 10am and 2:30pm.
