4 month bed time

I was putting mine down at 11pm, used chat gpt to help me get it down to 8.30pm! You need to do it slowly, so start putting him down at 10.15, then 10, then 9.45 etc, a couple of days at each time. You also need to adjust your last nap, so make sure the last nap is at least 2 hours before bed time. Also do you pump? I like to give a bottle of BM before bed so I know how much he is getting x

Honestly unless bed time is affecting me by being too late I leave it. Until youre on 1 or 2 naps a day bed time should be later! This early bed time idea is super unrealistic for most families x

Honestly their sleep changes so much that there isnt much wrong!
With naps and wake windows for the first year bed time will seem quite late compared to what youre told it should be. But if its working for you, I'd not change a thing! I enjoyed a later bed time as it meant we could go out for dinner at a normal time, or go to a pub with family and friends for a normal evening timing!x

Yeah we've done things like that too and its been nice. Just i knkw realistically her bed time should be earlier 🫣 thank you! X

My Little boy goes down to bed around 11pm, he feeds roughly 7.30-8.30pm I then get my 9 year old sorted n into bed and then I'm into bedroom with just wee lamp on and white noise at 9.30/9.45pm where he feeds to sleep. Into bed by abt 11pm but still up around 2 or 3 am for a feed which lasts anywhere between 20mins to an Hr then up for the day abt 6am. Id like to bring bedtime earlier but not sure how to do that as he's still up at least once through the night so dint want to increase that and I also need to factor my daughter in to get her to bed so for now this is working for us. Think we all just need to do what suits and works for our families, there's no right or wrong x

Every day it’s different but trying to put my baby to sleep no later than 9pm. So bedtime would be anything around 8:30-9pm. All depends from his naps etc.
Planning to try to put him to sleep earlier and see what will happen. Atm he is waking up at 3am and ready for the day 6:30am. He used to wake up 5-6am for a feed and ready for the day 9am. I loved it 🤣 I don’t think I will be able to go back to this but I will try different times and see what works best. ☺️
It’s very difficult to plan anything really.

Every child is different. I have an Oct 23 and 25 babies. My Oct 23 boy was super high sleep pressure needs and is 2.5 now and hasn't napped for months. I found babyhood super difficult with him as wake windows and nap times were all saying one thing and needed something very different. He never napped, not in the car or the pram or anything. If he napped for 5 minutes that would be it and the start of a new wake window. My Oct 25 girl is VERY different. Textbook nap patterns and she can't cope being awake later than 7pm. Her bedtime starts at 630 ish with a feed and then down around 7/715 she then sleeps until around midnight for the next feed.

If 10pm is working for you and your baby then you don't *need* to change it, especially if they're sleeping/dozing on you.
