Poll: What time does your LO go to bed?

[thatgirlrachel]

And what time do they get up for the day (on average)?

[spidermonkeymama]

Wake up 630-7
Bed 7-730 (latest is 8 but that's nap dependent)

[HelgaHuffle]

R still likes his early bedtime. He's usually asleep sometime between 6:30 and 7. He wakes up anywhere from 5:30 to 7. It's been closer to 7 these days.

[geners]

C's asleep by 8:15pm most nights. He wakes up around 7:30am.

He also wakes up about a million times in between these days.

[gdaisy09]

Iz is usually up between 5 and 5:30am. we start bedtime routine by 6:30, sometimes she's in bed by 7pm, other days she'll spend an hour camped out nursing and it'll be 7:30-8pm before she's actully in her crib sleeping.

[byjove]

Bedtime usually starts 6:30-6:45. Hopefully asleep 7-7:15. Wake up is usually between 6:15 and 7.

[RoLoMa]

M goes to bed between 7:30pm and 8pm but usually closer to 7:30. On the weekdays, I wake him up (occasionally he is already awake in his crib) at 6:00am and on the weekends he wakes up sometime between 6am and 7am. We usually take a nap after he nurses on the weekend until about 9am.

I am thinking we need to move EG's bedtime up. Our routine has been to start a bath at 8:30 and she is washed, fed, & asleep by 9:00 (usually). She usually wakes around 6:30-7:00.

EG does fine with our current routine, but this makes me think she isn't getting enough sleep. But she is STTN so that's roughly 10 hours of sleep each night.

[Unknown]

The goal is start bedtime around 7 with a 7:15 asleep time (DD doesn't nap much so she's out before her head hits the mattress). Since she doesn't nap it's sometimes a struggle to get her to stay up that late. I will put her down anytime after 6 if I have to. She is such an early riser (she slept in today to 5:45), so I really try and keep her up later. Even though it is true she can go to sleep anytime between 6-8 and still wake up by 5:30.

[kida]

DD goes to sleep anytime between 8 and 9 depending on her eating and nap schedule that day.

I'm starting to think she sleeps way too much because if she's in bed by 9 she sleeps until around 8:30 or 9 am with minimal wake ups.

[COCO]

In her crib at 7:30 pm. She usually goes to sleep right away. STTN until 7-7:45 am.

[obscurereference]

kida Does she nap a lot, too? I don't think that is too long to sleep at night. I really don't think kids can sleep too much.

We put her down between 6-7, the earlier the better but it's always dependent on what the other two need/are doing. She STTN and wakes between 6:30-7. Occasionally she wakes around 6 but she'll usually go back to sleep for a little bit or at least lay quietly.

[obscurereference]

I mean 12-15 hours a day is recommended for babies 4 months to 1 year. So your baby could easily sleep 12 hours overnight and not be sleeping too much!

She takes anywhere from 2 2hr naps to 3 1 1/2hr naps.

[gdaisy09]

ok, my kid doesn't sleep enough. we usually get one 1 1/2-2 hour nap in the morning, then one 30-45min nap in the afternoon (though some days she refuses to do this one). and then she sleeps ~7:30pm-5am (9.5 hours). so on a perfect day she's getting a little over 12 hours, but most days she's getting 11-11.5.

[13liza]

Wake up at 6:35 during the week, but will sometimes sleep until 7 on the weekends

Bedtime is at 7pm.

He usually naps 4ish hours during the day. The kid likes sleep like his mama.

[cnf2013]

I like to have her asleep in her crib by 8pm at the latest, though I try to get her down closer to 7pm whenever possible. It's tough at my folks house. She's usually up for the day somewhere in between 5:30 and 6:30am.

[evenkeeled]

She is asleep by 8:30 though been pushing it to 8pm as I am trying to actually get her to 7:30. We start her bedtime routine around 7pm. It's a long process.

Hubby thinks she should stay up later and would sleep better. I bit his head off with that suggestion. I am in bed and falling asleep by 9:15. I need earlier not later!

I'm in the same boat as you and I worry EG isn't sleeping enough. She gets roughly 9-10 hours of sleep each night with typically 2-3 hours between her morning and afternoon naps. But she seems happy and healthy so I try not to stress too much about it.

[expatmama11]

Cam goes to bed anywhere from 645-730. Kind of just depends on when his last nap ends. He usually wakes up between 515-600, although today he slept until 650. This never happens!!

[emmylo413]

She goes down between 6 and 7, depending on when her last nap ended. She is *supposed* to sleep until 6/6:30, but often wakes at 5 or 5:30 when she hears me get up. We've debated a later bedtime to see if she'd sleep longer, but what I've read says the opposite and I also need that time in the evening to breathe and get shit done. Toss up.

[beaglemom2011]

I''d like it to be 7:30, but it usually ends up being closer to 8 or after because of dinner, bath and handling both kids on my own a lot after work.

[inthewoods]

She goes to sleep between 7-8 and wakes up between 6-7. She still takes a couple of 30 minute naps during the day and cat naps to and from daycare.

[andi]

We start bedtime about 6:30 or 6:45 and she's usually asleep by 7. She STTN about 90% of the time now and wakes up like clock work at 5:23 each morning. I don't even set an alarm because she's so predictable. I wish she'd sleep in just a bit more. I tried moving her bedtime later and it doesn't change. She also still insists on 3 naps a day; at 7:30, 11:30 and 3:30. At least she's predictable : )
