just wondering what time other parents put their babies to bed at night. my son is five months and am really proud to say that he is sleeping through until morning (usually anything from 6 am - 7:30 am) and has been doing so for the last few months. His usual bedtime is around about 8:30 though and feel this is a little late as listening to other mums their babies are in bed by 7pm and sleep through til about 7am.
I recently tried bringing his bedtime earlier so my fiance and i can have a bit more quality time together and be able to eat our tea in peace (we eat tea before his bedtime as tea at 8:30 is too late for us) without havin to throw it down our neck as our son is grizzling during the witching hour!
Anyway like i say we tried bringing his bed time earlier by puttin him down at 7 and also tried 7:30 but he was waking up around 5 am which to me i find a struggle! i dont want to start my day at that time as its shattering and very long! I spent hours looking for others' advice on the internet and tried out all the tips to help him sleep longer but nothing seemed to work. I made the mistake by bringing his bedtime forward at the same time we made the transition from our room to his room.
has anyone got any advice on stretching his sleep longer in a morning so we can try a 7pm bedtime again or am i just bein greedy?
i have today purchased a cd of white noise to try that to see if it helps but also worried he may become reliant on it and will make a rod for my own back!
