for bed?

eli was having bath etc at 7pm then bed by 8pm but he is knackered by half 6 now so his bath is about 6ish and hes asleep before 7....now should i move it further back again as he isn't managing to even have a story before bed, but then bath would be 5.30pm???? seems a bit early to me......but then im thinking that when the clocks change it will be 6.30 again (still with me? )

should i try and help him hold out? he has always woken up at 4am thinking its playtime and after 20 minutes i can get him back to sleep - he often wakes now at 6am but again drifts back off fairly easily, i dont fancy getting up at 6!!!

maybe have a go with trial and error, up until about a month ago lilly was in bed by 5.30/6 as thats always been her bed time since she was a baby and she was getting up at 7.30am but now she goes to ned at 7pm and is up at 7am, see how it goes with trying a bit earlier, maybe do it gradually until he settles until a new bed time routine, sorry im not much help! xxx

Aimee has bath at 6pm and then bed at 7pm. She then normally wakes up anything between 7am and 8am.

Isla used to be bathed around 5pm, ready for bed at about 5.45.....if I missed this time, she was a nightmare!! She actually slept longer too if she went to bed at the right time, where as if we missed it she wouldnt settle well all evening, and wake up earlier & grouchier!

You know him best, but dont worry about times, some babes need more....mine always did, and still do xx

wow i cant believe how good eli is now and how early u get him to bed!! wat on earth happened to the 12am bedtimes?!!!!

alfie is knackered for 6pm normally and ive gotta keep him awak til normally 6.30/6.45 until we bath him and put him to bed.hes normally asleep for 7/7.15 and hes there till at least 7 am the next morning.

i wud just go with wat is right for eli. story time isnt oo important - however sleep is lol x

ava has her bath at 5.45pm bed at 1830 and is usually up about 645am, ive tried moving her bedtime later but she's still up at the same time so just carrying on how we are.

lots of hard work!

well, he is still up 5+ times in the night, but it's gradually improving - he thinks it's getting up time at either 4am or 6am but a sneaky bf and he is fast asleep again mwahaha but bath is closer to 6pm now because he just can't hold on - if we leave it too late he is a terror!

ahhh well done mummy!!! yous have came so far since then! u shud be dead proud of yourselves aready x
