Falling asleep for bed?

Question

So I always try to put my little one down about 7:30pm. Our bedtime routine is not crazy long (PJs, warm washcloth over face and neck, feeding and bedtime story). But after all that it usually takes her 40mins or more to shut down and actually sleep.....and then is usually up again before 11pm dream feed. 
Just wondering if anyone else’s LO takes that long or if I need to try a layer bedtime as she is not shutting down that early.

Answer

We did that too and the same thing happened! Started putting her down around 8:45-9:15 and she sleeps through the night!

Answer

Yes my little one did that if I put her to bed around 8/9pm and then she’d wake up around 11/12am. So now bedtime is 10pm, latest 11pm and she sleeps through the whole night! She’s almost 5 months old

Answer

I tried putting her to bed earlier many times but ended up settling on a 10 pm bedtime (asleep time)- it works for us, she sleeps until early morning. I’ve found that the key for her is allowing her to have her longest period of awake time just before bedtime. Throughout the day, we don’t let her stay awake for longer than 1.5-2 hours between naps, but before bedtime, she’s awake for about 2.5-3 hours then does a long stretch of sleep.

Answer

Count yourselves lucky! We follow a routine since 3rd-4th week but I even can’t imagine putting a baby down to sleep on her own since mine has never done so. We tried tho but she cries and we are against cry it out for her age... So she either sleeps while breast feeding or on bouncer while we bounce... It takes at least 30 mins bouncing. Also never slept thru the night or even more than 4hours at once. Her typ night sleep is 9pm to 00:15am ( in bouncer), 00:30am-2:30am, 3am-4:30am, 4:30am-6 am-ish and up around 7am (in crib)  for the day!

Answer

We basically just let her fall asleep whenever but rarely  after 11pm. Shes usually out on her on at 8pm and we feed her before we go to bed at 12 (we are night owls). She usually sleeps through the night until arouns 8am

Answer

story of my Life, except mine goes to bed at 8, though Glow baby says that my baby is ready to learn to put herself to sleep, so maybe I'll try pushing bedtime back a bit
