Bedtime for 11 week old

I have no suggestions just letting you know my 12 week old I’m struggling with too. Today we tried getting him comfy and cozy at 6pm to sleep by 7/730. That was a no go and he went down closer to 8:30. And then woke up and hour later. Why is this so hard?

Honestly at this early of an age, I don’t think he’d have a “bedtime” yet. Especially since you’re probably still feeding every 2-3 hours.

We noticed our little boy doing the same so we usually give him a half hour nap around 6.30/7pm, no longer than 30 minutes and then hes fine till his 9.30 night sleep, hes 9 weeks old currently and been doing this the last few weeks (we use the huckleberry app and follow their sleep sweetspot for naps and wake windows etc based on the sleep info we added) he does fight his last nap but we just are consistent and he cries for a bit whilst we try and put him down for his nap but its a lot less crying than we had every night beforehand

I also have an 11 week old. We start bedtime routine at 6:45 (wash, pyjamas, bottle and sooth) and she is down at 7:30. It's not something we pushed but she was falling asleep at that time and was showing us she was ready.

All this week she has woken at 1am and then 6am! I'm sure it won't always be like this but works for us

My son is also 11 weeks and we use huckleberry to track sleep and have the nap recommendations on. He falls asleep for the night pretty consistently between 8:30 and 9pm but our app recommends a nap at 5:30 ish most days however my little one always fights this and stays up however he's definitely tired, we call it his witching hours, sounds like your little one might be similar.

We've found distraction but in a comfortable place, is the best way- extended bath time, reading books in bed, tummy time in bed, we have a star projector that he likes to look at too

That way if he does start looking like he wants to sleep we're already in the right place but 80% of the time he does fight it but then keeps his consistent bed time of 8:30-9pm

I don't know about that young, i put my son to sleep at 9 until he was 8 months old, then he started wakes 5 or 6 times a night, changed his bedtime to 7pm and now he sleeps all night. Over tired babies produce cortisol to keep their bodies going, this is generally what causes short sleep windows during the night. But in saying that, there could be many reasons for his multiple wake ups like hunger or temperature. If he is tired by 6 i would trial putting him to bed then for a few days and see what happens. Xx
