Bed time routine

Following!! Our little girl is 9 weeks and currently goes down either 10:30 to 2:30 and then up at about 7:30 or if she’s had a longer nap will go 12:30 to 6:30 xx

With the weather becoming warmer, we started doing two walks per day, one at noon and one around 5-6pm where he naps. And then by 9pm he is already asleep. Previously he fell asleep at 10.30 when we didn't do the walks. Not sure if that's the whole reason but it has helped. My boy is 8 weeks.

Tbh, you don’t want to push an early bedtime. Most babies won’t sleep through the night so if they’re going down at 7, they’ll essentially be up earlier for a feed. My boy is 11 weeks and we have a feeding schedule which has helped him sleep through the night. He has a feeding schedule which at around half 6/7 then will only have about 20/30 minute nap and try to go down for 9 so I’ll feed him again around 9 so he’s down for half 9ish and then he’ll sleep through to half 6/7. He used to wait until 10 for his feed but now if we do that he sleeps from 9 until we get him up then refuses his bottle and goes back down so it’s just disturbing his sleep. I’m happy with this because it means I’m not having to go up to bed at 7 😂 my daughter settled down around 7 and it was pretty annoying. She wouldn’t sleep through but do longer than 3 hours and wanted to go to bed, didn’t sleep downstairs x

My friend told me LO will show you when they want an earlier bedtime and definitely worked out that way for us. We were going up to bed around 9:30 asleep by about 10:30 but she started getting cranky and hysterical around 8/8:30 so last night we tried a bit of a "routine". She's EBF but has one bottle a day of expressed milk, she had that about 7:15 took up and managed go get her to sleep just gone 8pm

We started putting our little boy to bed at 7pm at around 9 weeks. We found that he was almost asking for it as he seemed overstimulated and cranky around that time. As soon as we took him into a quiet dark room he was calm. He might wake up once for a feed (sometimes sleeps through - we know how lucky we are). He’s 11 weeks now.

He goes to bed about 8:30 at the moment. Id rather him sleep 8-8 than 6-6. So the slightly later bedtime works for me, though that's gonna have to change when big sis goes back to school on Monday 🫠

Little boy is 11 weeks old and goes down for bed between 7-8 depending on naps in the day. That bedtime has only really just started in the last 10 days.
