What time do you put your newborn down for bed?

Question

Shes 2 weeks and we have been doing 10 because thats when shes been doing her last feed. Tonight she ate at 8 and I know she's gonna be hungry prob 11. Feed before bedtime? Or just feed when she wakes?

Answer

I didn’t have a bedtime for her as a newborn. I fed when hungry and let her sleep when tired. She formed her own schedule a few months later simply by me following her cues. I wouldn’t stress over it with a newborn.

Answer

I would wake them to feed before I went to bed.  No diaper change, lights on or verbal loving!  Just a feed and back to bed.

Answer

Feed before bedtime. You don’t need to make a schedule. That way they sleep longer off the hop & you don’t have to wake to feed them

Answer

I never woke to feed. As a newborn my daughter had her last bottle at 2am and slept til daylight.

Answer

9PM is the last evening feeding he wakes again at 12-1, then again at 4-5 and then he’s up for the morning at 9.

Answer

Our Babys that young don’t really have a bed time. They went to bed with us.

Answer

We always go to bed around 7:30-8pm as we get up early for work. My older son is use to it and my youngest has gotten us to it now too (3 month old now). We just added the baby into our routine for bed that we already did with or 2 yr old. Just have to work on waking up earlier before I go back to work next month, he sleeps through the night till between 7-8 am atm

Answer

My baby is 3 weeks and we go with 10 as well. Around 9:30 we swaddle, turn off lights, turn on her sound machine, and do boobies and a bottle. She typically will sleep until 1:30 and then sleep again until 6ish.

Answer

I have a 2 week old. We do bath at 7:30-8 ish and then I will change him and feed him. Then I rock him to sleep around 9:30-10 and he usually needs a change and another feed before actually settling. We usually don’t get to sleep til 11. But we sleep in til 9am every morning
