Bedtime?

Question

Hey parents,
What time is your toddler going to bed? And what time are they waking up in the morning?
Our little guy was going to bed at 7 pm, fell asleep on his own by 730 pm, and waking up at 6 am. However, the last couple of weeks when putting him to bed, he hasn’t been falling asleep until 8:30 pm - he actually seems wide awake until that point. Debating whether we should push back his bedtime or if this is a phase?
What’s going on in your homes?
Thanks in advance!

Answer

Goes to bed between 8 & 8:30pm wakes up around 7:30am.  My daughter takes a big nap from about 1-4 which I am so thankful for and hope continues because it gives me a lot of time to get things done. She rarely sleeps a full 12 hours at night though, but definitely gets enough rest in her day.

Answer

Mine goes to bed between 8:30-9 pm, unless she’s acting really tired, then I’ll lay her down at 8 pm. She sleeps until 8 am, sometimes even 9 :)

Answer

Our daughter was doing the exact same thing recently!
She used to always go down 7-7:30, up at 6-6:30, then suddenly she was wide awake and not going down until 8 and not waking up til past 7.
I wondered if I should move her bedtime back too, and wondered if she was napping too much or too late in the day (normally down by 11:30 for up to two hours).
In the end I concluded that because she was still sleeping for the same length of time at night it was probably just that she was napping too late and we now make sure that we go up for a nap at 10:45 so she's down by 11, and are very clear at bedtime that it's bedtime, not play and talk time. We do our bedtime routine as normal, say night night and put her down and if she stands up or cries we just put her back down. She's back to her normal times for bed and morning wake-up now, is taking slightly shorter naps but going down much better at bedtime: I think she was just testing her own limits and ours!

Answer

My son goes to sleep between 10:30pm and 1:30am... sometimes later. How do you all get your kid to bed earlier, and do they take naps?

Answer

Mine goes to bed at 8pm every night and wakes up at 8:30-9:00am. She takes one nap at 1pm for maybe 45mins-an hour. Perhaps he’s going through a small regression. Is he teething his molars? 
Perhaps try pushing his nap time an hour or two later for it could be too early. Sometimes people think a nap too close to bedtime rather than wake up time will cause harm by them not wanting to go to bed on time or early but really it can be the opposite effect. Good luck!

Answer

Our daughter goes to sleep between 7:30-8:00 pm and wakes up between 7:30-8:00 am.  Those days she does nap later, she tends to stay up a little later, but for some reason it doesn’t affect her much and she’s still tired around the same time. Wish I had some better advice :/  
It could be a phase, if he’s teething or learning a new skill 🤷🏻‍♀️ ?

Answer

Mine goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00 pm and wakes 7:30 or 8:00 am. She is on a pretty regular schedule it seems. She takes one nap during the day usually from 11:00-1:00.

Answer

What time does he wake from his nap? Maybe you can shorten it and still keep an earlier bedtime?

Answer

I push back bedtime when the days get longer. My little one sleeps better after it's dark. I keep meaning to get some black out curtains but just haven't yet.

Answer

My toddler goes to bed at 6.30/7pm and wakes up 7/7.30am. If we keep him awake later he still wakes up at the same time, and then takes his nap earlier the next day and by the next evening he is knackered! He is only 14 months though
