How early does your child go to bed?

[lyndyloo]

I only ask because my 7 m old goes at 6pm now. I think its too early tbh but she's ready for it and even then she cries as soon as she is out of the bath and getting her sleepsuit etc on. She is just so grumpy at this time. Anyone else find this?

She only has a couple of 45 min naps during the day - if I'm lucky! Do you think she is overtired by bedtime?

I just worry she is going too early - other babies I know go at 7.30ish or later!

ah my ds(5) used to go to bed at 6 when he was a baby! it was lovely make the most of it!

i think they are all different and you need to find a time that suits you both if 6pm is the right time it shouldn't matter what others are doing.

mine go at 7pm on the dot. If they are tired then they will go down at 6:30 without a bath. they are 1yrs and 2.5yrs and they both sleep at least 2hrs during the day. At 7 months my ds's were having a morning nap of 45 min and lunch nap of 2hrs, but every child is different. Sometimes its easier to get them to sleep before they are tired iykwim?

I wouldnt worry too much - they are not all pre-programmed to switch off at the same time. Im sure mine slept much more than that during the day and went to bed about 6.30. Has she got blackout blinds in the bedroom - I found that helped with the sleep during the day?

Thanks ladies. It just seemed early but I guess they all are different.
