what time does your LO go to bed?
in Baby
Iv started putting Tyler down at 7pm coz a friend said 8pm was way too late (i usually go by my own advice but this lady has had 5 kids who are all fab sleepers) but it has really been a struggle to get him to settle and where as before I could put him in his cot and 5 mins later he would be asleep, he now rolls around in his cot for 15/20 min and looks at me and smiles. He has also started waking up 3 (sometimes 4) times in the night and is wide awake by 5.30 in the morning whereas before he would wake up once sometimes twice and be up at about 6.30/7am.
I am inclined to put it back to 8pm but really want him to start sleeping through as I have problems with my 2 year olds sleeping (thats a whole other issue!) and am getting very tired of waking up with my 2 yr old and then 1/2 times (let alone 3/4 times) with Tyler!
Pleeeease help me ladies xx xx

dd has a bath 7-8 then supper, cuddle, into sleeping bag then to bed 8-9.
since shehas been having supper the last 2 nights she has swlept 11-12 hours
I would say adjust it by 15 mins a week too as his body clock won't be so confused then!

Our lo's bedtime was 7pm from probably 3 months maybe a bit older. Anyway he's 7 months tomorrow and it is getting later as he has his tea with us and it gets right waff on if oh isn't home on time. We optimisticaly aim for 7pm but last week it was anywhere between 7:30-8:30pm and he hasn't slept as well waking in the night where he usually goes through till 6-7am. I blame his bloomin' teeth!!
I agree with ccbommy moving it slightly every week won't be such a shock to the system and he will ease it into. Hope it works x
I agree with the other girls aswell to try 15 mins at a time.

what time does Tyler sleep in the day though? cam has a long nap in a morning then only about half an hour to an hour in the afternoon..never past 5pm if he sleeps past five i have to put bedtime back or he will have a party in his cot!
he tends to have his nap at 3-4 which means he is nicely tired by 7!
