What's your babies bedtime?

Question

I'm a first time mom and I'm slowly starting to get the hang of sleep with my 6 month old. I wanted to reach out to other moms and get honest advice. Is it selfish of me to have my babies bedtime at 9 thirty sometimes 10 pm so that he wakes up around 8 8 thirty in the morning. He still gets between 11 to 13 hours of sleep everyday. I'm just wondering if I adjust his bedtime to 7 or 8 pm like most websites recommend will it improve his day and make naps easier? Will it help his development or is it purely hours of sleep per day? It's hard to imagine waking at 6 in the morning but I'd love to hear other moms opinions on this. Also I'm currently unemployed so my schedule isn't fixed. Any experience or guidance is highly appreciated 🙏🏼

Answer

If he gets his sleeps, do whatever fits your day.
If he needs to go to daycare later on, it might be useful to try and push it now for more "normal" times.
If not, then you do you. If it works and there is enough sleep. I don't see why you would push it 😊

Answer

Do what works for your schedule- they are still getting the sleep. It works for us to have a bedtime at 7 because it’s in line with my older child and when we’re all getting up in the morning anyway. Also, my baby’s 2nd nap overlaps with my first child’s after lunch rest time so I get a little break in the day 🙂

Answer

I think it depends on what works for u and ur baby. My daughter is 6.5 months old. She’s always been a terrible day sleeper, it’s a battle to get her to nap. Takes an age and then she only cat naps. So I start her bedtime routine at 6pm with the intention of her being in bed asleep by 7pm. We get up around 8-8.30am. I’m happy with that as she’s catching up on her sleep at night that she misses during the day. 
Do what’s right for u and ur baby
