Curious about LOs sleeping later as they get older

[Orissiah]

Hi there.

I am curious about peoples' experiences of the wake up times of their LOs as they get older. Did your LOs over time start waking up later?

My 12 month old wakes up on average at 6.30am each day (a bit earlier in Spring/Summer and later in Autumn/Winter), having gone to bed at 7pm. This wake up time suits us as we get up that time to go to work anyway. So I don't have a problem with it.

So I am curious really... Did your LOs start to get better at waking even a little bit later as they got older (not talking about teenagers here obviously).

In a way, this thread may give some hope to those whose LOs consistently wake too early for their parents.

No - my DS used to sleep until about 6.45am. He's now nearly 3 and his room is still blacked out and he's down at 7pm but usually awake by 6am if not earlier. I fear he's like his mother ! I've always been an early riser. He isn't allowed out of bed though til 6.35.....

My dd goes to bed at 8pm and left to her own devices will sleep til 9-ish. We have to wake her up at 7.30 to get to nursery. She's 2. Has been the same since about 18 months.
