Anyone else’s lo the same?

My lg gets really grizzly from 7:30 there is no point keeping her downstairs, so do the normal bed routine but it can still take until 9-9:30 for her to properly settle and I can finally put her down without her waking up…I feel like that’s so late for her falling asleep 🙈 Anyone the same? She’s 5 months next Saturday

Can you try to complete the bedtime routine by 7:30 instead of starting when she gets grizzly? She might be getting overtired

Yep, my little ones exactly the same! Me and my OH are desperate for a bit of time to chill together and watch tv but it’s taking about 2 hours to get my LO down into her next to me at the moment and by the time she’s down we knackered and fall asleep straight away 😅 the 2 hours general consist of a lot of kicking around fight sleep, multiple feeds and about 4 attempts to transfer her before she finally goes down and stays asleep! 😩

It might be that 9/9:30 is when she is ready to go down for bedtime. Our lb goes down at around 10pm and at that point he is ready and goes straight down but if we tried to put him down at 7/7:30 I know he wouldn’t settle. That is when he had his last nap of the day and he wakes at around 8:15. We’ve just accepted that for now, he’s with us until he is ready for an earlier bedtime. Not ideal but it won’t be for long and then hopefully we will get our evenings back.

We are the same, take her up by 8 as she's grumpy but not asleep till an hour atleast later xx
