We find a 7pm bed is the best time for us and how he sleeps but hard if she won't stay awake.
@Rebecca thank you, will try this! X
@Jo as she doesn’t settle for at least 30 minutes, sometimes it takes her longer, she’s never asleep before 7 pm, but will try and put her down a bit later x
@Birgit no my boy doesn't either. We put him in bed between 7 and quarter past usually and he slowly falls asleep. He was waking at 5am but its slowly got later and now its usually 7am-7:30am. It's always worth a try.
Can I ask please, what time are you having dinner with your LOs? x
Mine sleeps around 10-11 hrs a night, so with a 7pm bedtime I would expect her to wake up around 5:30-6. She goes to sleep around 8-9pm and wakes up between 7 and 8. Maybe push bedtime a little to see if it makes a difference?
@Birgit around half 5 for dinner. Maybe she needs less sleep?
Dinner was 5 but now it’s 5:20/5:30.
Thank you everyone. I’ll try push dinner and bedtime back slowly and hope it’ll help her wake up later x
My boy used to be like that. I’d take him to bed around the same and he’d wake around 5 too. I slowly pushed timings back so dinner is now 20/30 minutes later and I’m taking him to bed at 7:20. He can fall asleep in 15-20 minutes and sleep through til around 6:30. Have you tried later instead? I did this very slowly so about 5 minutes per day to see how he would react.
