Bedtime takes forever?

Question

Anyone else have a baby who takes FOREVER to finally go to sleep?  We start bedtime at 7pm and usually have to go back in there several times over the next two hours to get her to sleep.  But, once she’s asleep, she sleeps for 9 hours.  Anyone else?  I can’t figure out how to get her to go down more quickly at night!

Answer

This may not be helpful for some but this is what works for us, we made it that his bassinet was purely just for bedtime, the only time he gets put in there is at 9pm and he will remain there until 9 am the next morning and will either sleep straight away or chat for a couple minutes and drift off, this was achieved over a good week and a half of being consistent at bedtimes and in the beginning we would bath him right before as it made him sleepy

Answer

Ours is the same way but his bedtime routine baaasically takes 2 hours. Bottle with us downstairs, play time,  bath,  lotion and diaper,  nursing,  swaddle and bedtime. By the time it's done he's exhausted and so are we lol. It's supposed to be the longest wake window of the day and they should be tired at bedtime.

Answer

Try giving her a bath 6:30 or 7. I give my 3mo. A bath @ 9pm every night, she eat around 10pm & is sleep by 10:10 lol. She usually sleeps till 7-8am after the bath. Without a bath she wakes up about twice during the night.

Answer

Following. Takes me a couple hours as well and usually he only sleeps 3-4 hours. 6 has been the longest.

Answer

Well, stomach issues here so it takes all evening for her to fall asleep.. She usually just goes out in the end. It's a freaking nightmare 🙄
She starts crying and being fussy around 7 and then it just escalates. And then she sleeps between 4-6 hours, then makes a few noises, gets food, goes back to sleep 🤷🏻‍♀️
I miss my evenings.
