Bedtime

Hi all, just wondering how you guys put your babies to bed early?? We try and put our 4 month babe down at half 8 and sometimes she’ll fall asleep sometimes she won’t but when she does she’ll wake up again at 9:30 ish Today we tried putting her down for 9:30 instead and she woke up literally half an hour later at 10. and i know she’s over tired because she ends up fighting me before sleep at 11:30 ish. We want to enjoy our evenings after she goes to sleep but by the time she’s properly asleep and down it’s like 12 and then we just wanna sit in silence on our phones 😭

Ah that is so hard for you we love our evening so can totally understand, I think every baby is different and lush lol but I make sure my 5 month old has a good nap in the morning then a good 2 hours in the afternoon but I don’t let her sleep past 4pm, I also make sure we have a good walk so she has some fresh air plenty of feeds, I feed her at 5 bath at 6.30 bottle at 7 she falls asleep in my arms I transfer her to her next to me and she does stay there till about 2am bottle then back down till 6.30. Since she was born tho iv always had the room pitch dark she does stir but puts herself back to sleep I think because it’s dark she thinks I’m next to her lol hope this might help my baby just loves routine I think x

she has a good nap in the morning, because daddy leaves and she comes to my bed so sleep well. however i don’t know if she’s ever had a good 2 hour nap in the day. she’ll do a half hour and then wakes up and struggles to fall back asleep. once she is asleep at 12 am she’s down till about 6:30 and then again at 7:30jsb and then back to sleep

We have white noise and a red light in the room. I think because of this our LG goes back to sleep if she does wake. But usually she's waking 1-2 times a night for feeds, she's EBF. I put her down between 7:30-8pm these days. And she usually wakes around 7am. I just make sure she gets 3 naps in now. Sometimes they're 30min, sometimes 1.5hrs, I cap them at 2hrs if it gets that long, and aim to get the last one to end between 4:30-5:30. Its hard to time it so these days I just follow her sleepy cues. She rarely gets past 8pm before she's too tired anyways.
