How long to put baby to bed?

Question

How long does it take you all to put your baby to bed? My little one fights sleep so I feel like it takes us way too long. She is 7 weeks old and sometimes I have to hold and rock her for almost 2 hours before she is asleep enough to put her down and stay asleep.

Answer

Same, we start bedtime routine around 7:30/8 and usually don’t get him down until 9:30-1030.
And he only sleeps in 2-3 (usually 2) hour increments and will sometimes stay up for an hour or to in between too. 😩 
He’s 6 weeks almost 7

Answer

Mine has always fallen asleep on the boob. She doesn’t stay asleep all night so don’t get too jealous. Maybe try a different bedtime? She might not be tired yet when you are putting her down.

Answer

My baby is 7 weeks also. At night she usually has her last feeding about 11 or 11:30 for the day sometimes it takes me almost the same amount of time to get her back to sleep. 
They will change their schedule sometimes. There’s some nights she’s just awake for a good 1 or 2 hours after that feeding and just gotta wait for her to go back to sleep again.

Answer

2hrs. 😭

Answer

Takes 2 hours:  2 breast feeding sessions,  and 2-3 pee diapers. She'll fall asleep after the first feeding.. then go to the bathroom.  We do it again on the other side.  She'll fall asleep,  and stays asleep when I transfer her to bassinet.

Answer

I always pop my daughter down awake if i can.
Iv never rocked her, she goes in her grow back and she can take 20 mins to less then 5 mins depending on her sleep in the day.
If she's awake for longer I get her out, cuddle her and if she looks sleepy ill try again. She's 7 weeks

Answer

She falls asleep while eating her last bottle usually. And if for some reason she doesn’t I just give her her pacifier and by the time I’m done keeping her upright for 20 minutes to make sure she doesn’t spit up she’s asleep and I lay her down. So totally from the start of feeding until I lay her down it’s about 45 minutes.

Answer

We start our bedtime routine around 930 and she is usually sleeping by 1030

Answer

Depends.. Some nights 5minutes, or like last night, 2hrs. But once she’s out, she’s out for a long time. Naps... are another story 🤪

Answer

Mine is pretty easy, I always talk and play with her while she’s awake and it seems to tire her out easier. Once I’m talking to her and she stops smiling and giggling I know it’s about time for bed. Lotion, pajamas, swaddle, feed. Then we either cuddle until she falls asleep or she goes right to sleep on my chest and usually I can move her 5-10 minutes after she falls asleep and it be fine. She’s not much of a sleep fighter unless I let her sleep past 8:30-9 pm
