LO Bedtime

Mine doesn’t, it’s anything from 9.30 to 11.30 and same as yours with contact naps and even those are only 20 ish minutes if he naps at all. He’s up between 5 and 6am x

Mine is the same! If I try to get her to sleep at 7/8 she treats it like a nap and is up after 40 mins for another 1.5hr! Wakes up at 7am too

Nope, usually 10:30 here. I do typically stay up till 1 (for myself to shit scroll).. lol. We contact nap also.

My LG goes down between 9-10 most nights and usually sleeps through to about 7.30-8. She naps a bit in the day but I’m just grateful for a full nights sleep every night.

Mine goes down at 7.30 but not through me trying for it, it's just the routine she got herself in, her last bottle normally falls around 7pm, I understand your frustration as when she goes to sleep I have about 2hrs to watch TV before I feel tired but if she was going to sleep at 9 or 10 I would be right behind her

My girl is the same. She's 16 weeks and no matter what time I try to get her to sleep she doesn't sleep until 10/11😂😭
She only contact naps in the day as well and even then its few and far between. So hard to get her to sleep atm.

@Tanya Hope you don't mind me asking, what time do you get up with your LO. I'm still going to bed very early. I'm so worried I won't get enough sleep to alert and ready for my LO. I would love to stay up a bit after she has gone to sleep, I'm just building up my confidence I think (and battling anxiety)

In the morning? 11am. My LB typically wakes at 7, goes back to sleep till 10:30/11 so I go back to sleep too. I do this regardless of time I go to sleep. Today is an anomaly as my OH is snoring in my ear (night shift) so I can’t sleep but I’ll have an afternoon nap with babe :). I find that if I wake up/get out of bed earlier then I clock watch the rest of the day.

Don’t rush if you don’t feel ready :) x

Mine between 9&10 and she usually sleeps through until 6.30 but has been waking around 4 recently. Goes back down after a quick feed though x

Well, I could have written this post myself… my little girl is just coming up 18 weeks and we only contact nap during the day because she won’t go down elsewhere (been this way since 2 weeks old - we’ve tried so many times) and has sake windows of around 1.5 hours, we start bedtime routine around 8pm for her to be in bed and settling to sleep between 9/9:30pm.

Sometimes I’ve even fallen asleep whilst waiting for her to nod off 🤣

How long is everyone’s baby napping for when contact napping out of interest?

our contact naps are usually 30 minutes but can be up to an hour and he has on average, 5 naps a day.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad to know it isn't just us 🙈 I hope we will get there eventually 🤞

My baby (14 weeks) is exactly the same. Wake windows 1.5 hours, bedtime between 9pm-10pm, wakes for the day between 7am-8am. This was the norm before this sleep regression.

I really hope he naturally wants to go to bed earlier as he gets older x
