Bed time

My now 8 month old started changing up his own sleep again he used to go to sleep between 9 and 10, hes now going to sleep between 7 and 8. He's sleeping till about half 5 tho but with the smile he has on his face every morning im happy to get up early

Normally between 7.30 and 8.30 and always sleeps for 10-12hrs overnight 🥹🤭

My LO was the same and would sleep not before 10 pm (sometimes even 12-1 am). This honestly worked for us as we are not early risers either and would only wake up early for work — so if she slept in late during weekdays it helped me manage work better. But I noticed that offlate she naturally woke up at around 7:30/8 am and I would have to put her back to sleep (since she slept late she would easily go back to sleep too).

So I shifted her bedtime to between 7:30 - 8:30 pm so that she gets atleast 10+ hours. The day I made the shift I basically just didn’t put her back to sleep.. so naturally, her naps and bed time came earlier than usual.

If you are looking to change your baby’s bed time, I would suggest waking them up earlier (or letting them stay up if they wake up early), and then adjusting naps and bed time accordingly.

However, this may mean you and/or partner waking up earlier than you usually do - especially on weekends. So brace yourself🤣
