My 12 week old goes to bed at 7pm and wakes for his 3am feed. I feel like this is too early. If we try and put him to bed later he gets very fed up. We are facing early wake ups though. Is 7pm too early for bed?

My 8 month old has his bottle and usually in bed between 7-7:30. If I leave him any longer he’s gets so miserable. He wakes up for the day at 6 so 7pm is a reasonable bedtime for that really I think xxx

We put our little one to bed between 7-8pm, he tends to sleep until roughly 1am. We've tried to give him a feed later on, but he isn't interested. He is also 12 weeks x

From 3 months they can start to get in a routine so I’d say its perfect. Maybe try and perfect nap times as much as you can and it will help with over night sleep. That’s what I did the second my LG turned 3 months got her in a strict routine and bed time was always 7 and once she started having properly scheduled naps she slept better over night and woke a little later xx

My son goes to bed about 8.30 usually. If you want bedtime to be later you need to try and shift it by 15 mins or so each time. Eventually it’ll be later!

My daughter is 14 weeks tomorrow and goes around 7:45/8 ish wakes up at least once a night but is always up between 6-7am and even if she goes later she’s still up by then 😅🫣xx

My daughter is 9 weeks and sleeps from half 7-half 5 am I keep her awake as much as I can before bed have a really playful sensory bath before bed about 630 then spend an hr giving her a full bottle winding her cuddling her to sleep and she out cold all night

Thanks everyone this is really helpful! ♥️♥️

that’s exactly the same as mine! I tried it last night and he was beside himself. So maybe 7 works perfect! Xxx

thank you! Xx

aa yes I will try this, thank you! Xx

thank you!

yes I think he would be the same 😅🙈

aa amazing I will try the same! Xx

Mine goes up to bed with a 6.30 bottle, down for 7pm. I wake her at 10.30 for a bum change and a feed and she sleeps until 6.30ish X

Shes 13 weeks x

My son is 14 weeks. He goes to bed between 6:30-7. He then wakes around 4am for a feed and then goes back to sleep until 7:30.
There is a baby book I read which recommends putting a baby to bed around 7

7-8 is reasonable my youngest goes to bed around that time and wakes up at 3-4am for a feed

this is pretty much what we do! Thank you x

this makes me feel better thank you! X

thank you! X

What am I doing wrong?! I have 7, 11, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 am 🥴 also 12 weeks breast fed ... I'm dying here

your doing nothing wrong at all 🫶🏻 it’s very possible baby is cluster feeding and going through a developmental growth but my son woke up every 2 hours sometimes less for a really long time. He’s 8months old now and still wakes up for a feed 2-3 times a night, also totally normally. He’s going through a growth so his sleep has been disturbed for the last couple of weeks. It does get better, it might not seem like it but it will. I was in your position a few months back and thought I was never coming out the other side but we’re getting there xx
