10pm Bedtime?

Question

Our almost 6 month old has been going to bed between 9:30-10pm since he came home from the hospital. We kept hoping that his bedtime would naturally adjust to an earlier hour as he got older and his naps consolidated, but I'm not so sure that's going to happen. Have any of you momma's had success transitioning a night owl to a reasonable bedtime (7-8pm)?

Answer

My little girl never used to go to bed before 11pm & I didn't mind bc it meant she slept in in the morning but I literally had zero time with my partner and that made me sad. Due to other reason we started sleep training a couple of weeks ago & started to move her bedtime forward 15 minutes every 2 days. She's now in bed by 7:30 & asleep by 7:45. Every baby is different though & I feel mines quite adaptable with quite a lot of things (not everything mind LOL)! But I always think whatever works for your family is good so go with your gut :) x

Answer

Used to be 12 am then it moved up to 10-11 pm. Since she's started daycare she's moved it to 8 pm herself. I think it depends on how much activity during the day?  Good luck!

Answer

We do 10pm. We start the routine at 9:30, feeding, lotion, diapers, PJs and a book. They wake at 7-8 for a bottle and nap for another hour. It used to be midnight and we slowly changed it. 10pm seemed good for our schedule, gave​ us a chance to spend time with Daddy and I'm not a morning person, 7am is hard enough! If it works for you and your family I'd just stick with it! If you have to change it transition slowly, drop 15 mins or so every few nights.

Answer

If hes used to it then just let it be both my kids 4yrs and 6mo go to bed at 9pm every night and wake up between 7-9am every morning i rather that then having to wake up at 4am

Answer

My dd started off with a late bedtime (if you want to call it that since there were multiple night feedings) haha. But she changed her bedtime on her own. By 4 1/2- 5months she was just going to bed by 6-7pm and sleeping for about 12 hours. She is down in her crib sleeping by 6:20pm recently. 
I didn't do anything, I just figured I would go with the flow lol 
Maybe try an earlier bedtime routine?

Answer

When my son learned to distinguish between night and day, he thought his night was at midnight-1am. I don't know what happened but gradually he adjusted his own sleep schedule. Literally one day he just randomly fell asleep an hour earlier than the usual. Then another day another hour back. It took about 4 months when he began sleeping at 8:30.

I've heard gradually starting your night routine back 10 mins and then increasing the time every 3 days or so can help baby sleep earlier.

Answer

Mine is 9pm, I try for earlier...but it's always 9 on the dot. If I start sleep routine at 8 it's 9, if I start at 8.55 it's 9. Has been since he was tiny.

Answer

I'll get a 7pm or 8pm every now and then but it's mostly between9:30-10:30 too
