I put my daughter to bed at 8 but she also doesn’t go to school so she’s not waking up super early. Maybe start bath at 6 and then use that extra 60 min to turn off the lights and do a relax routine with him?
We let him decide on bedtime as long as it doesn't go past 8. Usually between 730-45 he asks for bed
Honestly.... My LO has been a FANTASTIC sleeper his whole life... I could set my watch by him. (His little brother boy did he humble me!!!) However.... He turned 3 in March and I Sware... I'd consider an exorcism for him every bedtime routine now. I always start bath/bed at half 6/7pm. He used to always be asleep for 8 and sleep through till 7am. Now I still start the routine at 7ish... But there I am at 9... 10pm some nights holding back the urge to just lock him in his room!! Even this evening... I managed to get him down for 8:30pm... However he just woke up at 11pm and has the whole house in an uproar major tantrum because he wants to get up... I'm honestly at a loss! Most of the time he is pretty much the same in every other aspect of life ... Nursery tells me he is a great kid! But at bedtime at the moment.... I do not recognise this child 😭
@Alanna I feel this so much! He hasn’t always been a great sleeper but lately at bedtime he turns into a little devil child. Sometimes I’m in there until 10 PM. 😩
@Sarah, I am a pediatric sleep consultant. I am happy to give some tips if you would like. Message me if you are interested 😊
We typically get ours up by 6:45 each morning and start bedtime routine around 8 and try to have them in bed by 9. They nap at school. And then on the wknds we let them stay up a lil later, but they'll wake up on their own by 7 and naps are hit and miss.
