Bedtime - what time at 4 months

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Oh, I was bad. I would let him fall asleep while I was holding him and watching TV. Usually he would fall asleep around 8. Now it is closer to 8:30, but he is playing with Dad tonight so he'll be wound up until at least 9.

1babygirl replied: Use to be at around 8 or 8:30 but since time changed it's more like 7 or 7:30pm.

kayla's mama replied: I was like Idaho boo, Kayla used to sleep in my arms while I watched T.V. She would go to sleep around 8, now its anytime after nine. Last night 11:45 And I had to work today

jacobsmama replied: i put jacob to bed around 9 or 10 when he was that age. it seems so long ago though

Our Lil' Family replied: From an early age Thomas set his own bedtime at 7pm....still that time now.

MommyToAshley replied: 8 P.M. But, it didn't really seem like a bedtime since my daughter didn't start sleeping through the night until she was nightweaned around 10 months.

CAMSMOM1 replied: My son always went to be at 7:00 every night. I think it was partly him, and partly me. We had a bedtime routine, and started shutting things down around that time so he wasn't stimulated. I would breastfeed him and in the swing he would go! Some babies need more help to go to sleep than others, but I believe babies at that age need an early bedtime. And some need more help from their mothers to get them asleep. I was just thankful he would go down so early!

MAMACARLA replied: MINE GOES BETWEEN 7 AND 8, SO WE CAN SLEEP A LITTLE IN THE MORNING. IT ALL KINDA DEPENDS ON WHAT TIME YOU GET UP.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Four months...I think it was around 6ish for bedtime. I had a really good nap schedule for Wil, so I kept to it at bedtime as well. He started sleeping through the night at this age. Now he goes to sleep at 8pm.

fashionmumofboys replied: At that age my boys were not on a set schedule yet. The times just varied from one day to the next.

Sorry, not much help here.

Freckled Momma replied: My kids are all in bed by 8, 8:30 most nights. Nicholas (my 2 year old) has been going to bed between 7-8:30 every night(with a few exceptions, like holidays) since he was 6 weeks old...I was blessed with an easy baby in regards to sleeping.

luvmykids replied:
Same thing here. When I started trying to get them on a sleep schedule I wanted bedtime early enough to have "evening time" for me & hubby but not so early as to wake me with the roosters! At that age they slept from 7:30a-7:30p with two daytime naps, 10-12 and 2-4. (The good old days!)

1moremakes4 replied: Kamryn will be 4 months old on the 25th. She still eats every 2-2 1/2 hours during the day, so I keep her up until after she eats around 10 pm. Then she usually sleeps until either 4 or 5 am.

Myprecioushearts replied: At four months old Caden went to bed around 7. Now it's moved closer to 8-9. I've found it's much easier to get my older kids to bed first. They go to bed at 8. That way there's nothing running around the house to wake Caden up!
