Why 7-7?

If I could I’d go to bed at 7 as well 😂

For me 7-7 will work well when I return to work and we need to be up and out

I think it’s because their bodies start producing melatonin (sleep hormone) around 6/7pm.

Personally, 7-7 doesn’t work for us. Even if she slept 12hrs straight, which she doesn’t, I don’t sleep until after 11pm (my last pumping session) and wake up at 9am (again, to pump). She sleeps around 10pm, which gives me enough time to put her to bed, pump and sleep. She then wakes up around half 9, which is enough time for me to pump. She always wakes up three or four times a night (and one of the times doesn’t settle for about hour and a half), so I already struggle to get a nice night of sleep. If she slept at 7-7 I’d be screwed 😂

I have always wondered the same. I think it’s a British thing anyway. Never heard of 7-7 for other European countries.

When I return to work I will need him to get up around that time anyway so it is setting a solid routine. Also, it's really nice to have the evening to myself after a day of being needed constantly

I've never heard of 7-7 🤷‍♀️ My LO goes to bed in the evening when she's tired, and wakes up when she's not ☺️ Usually means start of bed time routine is anywhere between 6pm and 8pm, and wake up (with at least 2 night feeds between) is anywhere from 5am to 9am

I go to bed (cot is in our room) when she does and I read for a little bit, and I'm usually asleep by 10pm. Then I get up whenever she does x

My 7-7 is handy for my return to work

Never heard of 7-7 mine goes down about 9pm wakes up 8 or 9am

Because 7-7 will settle with them growing up, going back to work they would need to be up before you leave (unless you work unusual hours) also further on with child care, pre-school etc they would need to be up and ready by 9 you wouldn't have to change their Bedtime later down the line by implementing the routine now 😊
But everyone is different plus some babies still don't have a regular bedtime at the moment or sleeping through.
You do what's best for you and when you feel is best for them to sleep and wake up 😄 x

I think set a time for wake up that will work for you E.g 7, 7:30 depending if baby will have to go to childcare at some point and the adapt bed time to suit…if baby sleeps 11 hours at night do 8pm bedtime if they sleep 12 hours can do 7pm, I think lots of babies don’t sleep the full 12 hours at night

🤣🤣🤣 my little one goes down normally 7 but that's what time she starts to fall asleep, however we have been up half 4/5 the past 4 days so wish she would get the 7 to 7 memo 🤣🤣🤣 I have 4 babies and all have formed their own routines 🤷🏻‍♀️ We go on them (obviously with in reason lol)

What time do you take little one to sleep? Are they actually asleep at 8.30? Xx just curious as looking to change schedule.
