When is bedtime for your August babes?

Question

Just curious. Our pediatrician suggested that bedtime routine start at 6 or 7pm, which worked for a while but about a week ago she started to resist and we are all getting tired of spending hours trying to get her down.
She seems to want to go to bed closer to 9 or 10pm, and then wake up around 9am. Frankly that schedule would be preferable for us as working parents since we could spend more time with her.
What do y'all do about times?

Answer

My boy goes down after his bottle between 8-9 he's very good and doesn't fuss and goes to sleep fairly quickly then he's up again 12-1 then 3-4 then 7-8

Answer

Our pediatrician said for newborns their bedtime should be around 9:30-10:30 and once they start to get a little older to switch to an earlier time! My LO usually goes to bed around 9:30 and doesn’t wake back up again until around 3-4 then wakes up at 8!

Answer

Do you really have a baby born in August that sleeps 9 to 9? That's absolutely crazy.

Answer

With my first we did 11 pm, and at 3 months switched it to 7:30. I’d love to say either of my kids have a bedtime now but I just let them sleep whenever they want to because it’s the only time it’s quiet and I can do whatever I need. Lately we’ve all been going to bed between 9:30 and 10:30

Answer

I think this is really about what works best for your family. I stay home. We live an hour away from our church. My husband works an hour away and is often not home til 7, sometimes later. My oldest has always done better with a 10 bedtime. He sleeps til 9 or 930. Wed night church goes from 7-8 or 830, then we have to drive home after grabbing something to eat. We're lucky if he's in bed by 10 those nights. So we give in to it and life is a little less stressful. Baby #2 usually goes to sleep between 1030 and 1130. She sleeps for 5-8 hours (usually 6 1/2, but did 8 for the first time last night!!!) and then wakes up to eat, goes back to sleep for 2-3 more hours. I'm good with that! It works for us. We just don't plan anything too early in the day.
Do what works for you and yours!
