Bed Time?

Question

I tried to set a 9 PM bedtime for my 11 week old so I could selfishly spend more time with him when I go back to work this week. He is like clockwork that he gets tired after being awake for an hour to an hour and a half. I foolishly put him down for a nap at 7:40 (he had been up for almost 2 hours) but he was down for the night. I had to wake him to feed him,change his diaper and put his pajamas on… I felt horrible but realized this kid will never make it till 9 PM. 😭 Any tips?

Answer

My baby can not get on a schedule.... at all! 2nd baby and my first was NOTHING like this... Sometimes she goes to bed at 9pm, sometimes midnight... currently still sitting with her awake at 3am 😭

Answer

Bath 6pm, feed then bed at 7pm every night. Sleeps through until 6.30am. We have been doing this since 3 weeks. Was waking once through the night until about 2 weeks ago. Now sleeps through. 
Obvs if we are out for dinner or out and about I just do the same routine when we get home, just at a later time.

Answer

Between 6-7 most nights.

Answer

Mine goes to bed at 3 a.m.😅 I've tried everything and can't seem to change it

Answer

Babies this young, I really think can be woken up sometimes to fit their parents’ schedules and hopefully it’ll turn into a well-timed habit

Answer

Some kids are night owls and others aren't, and sometimes they change over time. My daughter used to sleep 9pm-9am and now she gets up like 7-8am it's so annoying (I think she's just sleeping less as she gets older, she's 2.5). My son will be up until like 10-11 and sleep until like 9-10am with a feed sometime between 4-6am, but I wouldn't be surprised if he switches sometime. Just go with what your baby seems to be doing.

Answer

I’m not sure since we brought baby home bedtime has always been around 10 for him due to hubby not getting home till 6 then he goes to the gym and by the time he comes home and we make dinner it’s 9ish. And I think we just have so much going on from 6-9 that my boy stays awake or takes a short nap around 7:30. My boy does take long naps during the day he will take 2-3hr naps and be awake anywhere from 10min to 2hrs in between. We also have a bedtime routine that doesn’t start till 9ish
