What time for bed?

[maa1992]

Hey,

My 6 month old goes to bed at 20:30, sleeps through 8/10 times but will wake up occasionally once for a feed. Usually wakes up at 6:30 then goes back off after his feed till 08:00

Lots of my friends babies all go to bed around 18:30-19:00 and I'm worrying I'm settling my DS too late?

I know every baby is different, I'm still on mat leave and DH finishes work at 19:00 so that little hour and a half is when they get to spend time together.

We've got a good routine going but I've started to question it now

What time do your babies go to bed? TIA xx

It doesn't matter what anyone else does if the current routine is suiting your family. If he goes to bed earlier then he may also wake up earlier

If your baby is sleeping that well, stick with it!!

It might change anyway. My daughter used to be 6pm because she couldn't make it any longer and even needed a pre bedtime routine catnap, it pushed later as she got older and now she's 12 months it's currently 7.15/7.30pm with 8,000 night wakings.

My 9 month old goes to bed at 9pm, up until 6mo it was 11pm. It was the routine she made her self, she shifted it back to 9pm and sleeps all the way through to around 7:30-8:30, occasional wake ups.
I just let DD take the lead (within reason) and she's a happy little bunny! Don't worry too much about routine, they'll let you know when they're tired, hungry etc

Do what works for you, there is no right way to parent!
