Late bedtime!

We’re in a very similar situation, and I don’t really know how to correct it. I had to wake our LO this morning, as I had commitments. My husband said she needs an earlier nap, so we can put her to bed earlier, as it’s been a struggle. But, short of waking a perfectly sleeping baby first thing in the morning, I don’t know how we’re going to adjust! 🤣

oh I hate waking them especially when they’re in a deep sleep and it takes a while to wake them 🙈 I’ve thought about capping naps but he’s just so grumpy! And of course, won’t go to sleep earlier than his usual nap/bedtime so can’t do that lol

We've been having this issue too. Our HV told us to wake him earlier, and it kinda seems to be working, but he's having an extra daytime nap and sleeping slightly less at night. Im just sticking with it and hoping he decides to go to bed earlier and drop a nap over time.

Our little lady goes to bed between 8:30-9:30 pm and wakes up many times a night but is up for the day from.9-9:30 am.

Wake wee one 15 mins earlier then a few days later 15 min earlier again, continue until you get to your designated wake time. I aim for 0630 for a 1900 bedtime. At 10 months baby needs around 11-12 hours overnight so daytime overall needs to be minimum of 12 - 13 hours. To wake wee one peacefully I just crack the door of her room and turn down her white noise slightly and go about my day, eventually the daylight and noise rouses her. Her circadian rhythm will kick in eventually to be at an earlier wake time which will result in an earlier bedtime. Just be careful to do it slowly in 15 min increments.

I was in the same boat. It’s hard when they’re sleeping peacefully but it’s best for them in the long run to wake up at 0700 and avoid naps after 1530 if possible to build sleep pressure ☺️

Our LO goes to bed between 9:30pm and 10:15pm (depending on when the last nap was and how long). She wakes up around 10pm. It really works for me, as I’m quite flexible with lunch etc.

My current problem is that she has decided that sleeping at 9:30pm should be treated as a nap and decides to wake up within 1hr (sometimes only half hour!) and refuses to sleep until midnight 😫 I’m hoping it’s just a phase because I need that hour for myself again 🤦‍♀️

We wake usually between 8 and 9 in the morning, and she's well ready for bed at 8pm with 2 naps during the day!

Our little one goes to bed at 7ish most nights, but wakes between 4:30-6:30 with 2 naps so not sure which is better/worse! I think as long as they’re getting enough sleep overall surely it doesn’t matter when! ☺️

oh my gosh exact same! I don’t mind the later bedtime and later wake time but the waking after an hour and refusing to sleep until midnight is getting a tad waring!

the irony of it now is: for the last two nights she has gone down ok and not woken up, but I’m the one that can’t sleep 😫 then as soon as I get sleepy, she starts moving around. I’m so tired 🥱
