What time does your toddler go to bed?

DD has just turned two she usually goes to bed between 7-7:30, some nights she really struggles going to sleep so I'm thinking should I move it to like 8pm?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

3 and 1 here. If no naps for 3yo, both in bed between 6.30-7.30.
If 3 yo naps it can be 9/10pm

Lovelilies · 03/08/2017 22:13

They get up anywhere between 6.30 and 8

You are supposed to bring it forward (I saw it on t.v) as it means you have missed the window of opportunity & she struggles to go to sleep at 7.30pm because she has gone past the tired stage.

I would try 18.30pm.

It's 10:15pm and my almost 2 year old is still not asleep :( suffering huge sleep regression at the moment and it's killing me to be honest.

But anyway... She's normally asleep by 8pm at the latest.

2.5 & 4 --- 6 to bed, anything up to 730 to sleep. Up at five fir work.

DD is always tired, she has never slept well at all.

Just turned 2 & 5mo here…7pm on the nose, 7.30pm latest. We'll flex it a bit if we're on holiday or out but not too much. 2yo just moved into toddler bed though so it's a bit awry at the moment and my tether is near its end

20 month old goes to bed at 9pm, wakes about 8am ish.

He also has a two hour nap 1-3pm.

It might seem late but he sleeps pretty well and this way DH gets to do bath and books.

ParadiseLaundry · 03/08/2017 22:28

What sort of age do they tend to drop their nap? Does your DD still have a nap Tinks?

BumWad · 03/08/2017 22:29

My 2.2 year olds bed time has been pushed back a bit it is now nearer 8pm. He still has around a 1.5hr nap although I'll be honest with you it's not as consistent as it used to be

melissasummerfield · 03/08/2017 22:31

4 and 3 here and both sleep 7-7 ( 3yo didn't sleep through till he was 20 months though! )

Neither of them nap anymore, both stopped at about 18 months.

2.3 yr old - usually in bed for 7.45. He doesn't nap in the day anymore but yesterday we had a code red situation - he fell asleep in the car at 4.30pm - didn't go to bed until 10pm

Only naps for 30/45 mins. Usually up between 6-6:30 too.
DP doesn't get home until about 7pm, so I keep DD up to see him, give him a kiss goodnight etc plus if I didn't she would wake up when he came in anyway as she is an incredibly light sleeper.

Just turned 2 yr old is in bed by 7.30 and asleep by 8 in general. Wakes between 6. - 6.30. Has a nap usually around 40 minutes. Very occasionally 1.5 hrs. Sometimes no nap at all.
