bed time 4 a 8 week old

[pinkyp]

I have a 8 week old ds and a 3yr old ds and at the min our 'routine' is ds1 goes t bed at 7.30pm then I bf ds2 off and on til about 12-2am sometimes a little later. Once asleep he can sleep between 4-6hrs then he comes into bed with us when we wakes and we co-sleep til we get up. Is there anything wrong with this? What made me wonder was I saw a thread on another forum asking wot time their dc's went t bed but my ds2 doesn't go til the early hrs of the morning but if I go t bed earlier so does he but doesn't go t sleep til around the same time, but his day doesn't start til 10am. Should I be putting him to bed when he naps in the evening? He seems t wake quite easily if I move him (he's usually aleep on me) and with ds1 in bed upstairs I don't want him t wake if I'm running up n down all night. Is our routine ok? When shud I b trying t put him into a earlier routine?

I don't think there's anything wrong with your routine as described. If your baby is getting plenty of sleep at night and your three year-old is as well & if you're all getting up at a reasonable time in the morning feeling reasonably lively rather than anyone being too shattered to do anything, then it's probably working.

My baby used to to to bed after a bath at 7.30, wake up about 11pm and 3am for feeds. He first dropped the 11pm and the 3am one went later on. We never co-slept. That worked for us, yours works for you. Good luck

He does napon a night but i keep him downstairs with me n dh so were not up n down every 5 mins as he often falls aleep whilst feeding
