What time do your kids go to bed?

Mckaylee and Russell are usually in bed every night by 7...sometimes earlier for Russell if he falls asleep sooner. Russell usually wakes up around 6 for a bottle and goes back to sleep and accassionally McKaylee will hear him wake up and want some milk.

Sometimes they are allowed to stay up later based on a certain 2 year old attitude.

Boys r us replied: Tanner is really good about going to bed around 9, during the summer he's allowed to stay up as late as he wants, which b/c he's a sleep freak, usually isn't past 11pm. Braedon on the other hand...he NEVER goes to bed before 1am! Never!
We must put him as we call it "away" haa.(to bed) 20 times a night and everytime he gets up. So he gets up, we hug and kiss him and tell him how tired we are and put him back and then we repeat a bloody million times after that.

Some nights it lingers to 9 pm when she has every excuse in the book why she should get up. EVERY night she gets up at least once to go potty before staying down for the night.

Megan is in bed for the night around 8 pm, sometimes as early as 7:15-7:30 pm. She wakes up somewhere between midnight and 3 am to nurse, then is pretty much up until we all get up at 6 am.

Kylie usually comes piling into our bed at 5:30 to 6 am.

Kaitlin'smom replied: I would prefer by 8 but she usually is in bed by 8:30p 9 the latest since I get her up during the week by 7:30a she needs to be in bed by then.

Mommy2BAK replied: Ahh, I am almost too embarassed to even answer this question.

Blakely usually goes to sleep whenever I do, we wake up together and go to sleep together, it works out great. But usually she is alseep between 10-11

ediep replied: Jay goes to sleep by about 8:30-9 pm

coasterqueen replied:
There is nothing embarassing about this. It's an AP technique some practice . I would do the same if I didn't need an hour or two at night when she's asleep to do laundry, clean the house, etc.

3xsthefun replied: Kaitlynn is usually in bed between 9-9:30 pm sometimes we let her stay up later. But since she will be starting school next month we need her get use getting up earlier.

Maegan she is getting better she goes to sleep around 10-11 pm

Sarah&Mackenzie replied: Mackenzie goes to bed between 8:30 and 9:00. She CAN sleep all night, but since she is sick she has been getting up 2-3 times a night.

kayla's mama replied: Kayla has her last bottle around 6-7 and she is in bed between 8-9. And wakes up around 8:30 in the morning.

KingMom replied: Colin has a great bedtime routine.

Bath at 6:30, then feeding, then bed. He is usually out for the count between 7-7:30. Wakes around 6:30 or 7:30am.

Our boys are on the same nightime schedule--leaving lots of time for us mommy's

ions_momma replied: On school nights Ion usually goes to bed around 9 or 9:30. During the summer he doesnt have a bedtime so it is just whenever he falls asleep. Usually it is around 10 or 11 but sometimes he is awake until midnight or later!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
I'm with both of you! Although Wil has been going down a bit later these days...but always around 7ish. Wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30am.

Mommy2BAK replied:
I must also add that Blakely sleeps until 10 in the morning, which is really nice for me

Sunflower04 replied: I started Joey on a new routine and it been working for us like a dream. Dinner, shower, bed. When it is bedtime we put on some lullaby music and read him a LONG book and then he falls asleep. Only once in a while it doesn't work. He is sleeping by 8-8:30. He was going to sleep at 9-10 but now with him sleeping sooner DH and I aren't used to all the free time now.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: Logan usually falls asleep feeding between 8:30 and 9. But last night he skipped his afternoon nap at daycare and so he was asleep at 8. I didn't know what to do with my extra half hour.

booey2 replied: Well when Thomas first gave up his naps, he wanted to go to bed around 6pm everynight. But now he usually goes between 8-9pm same for his big brother Matthew. They will actually both come to me and ask to go to bed if they are tired before they are supposed to go to bed.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Wow - I feel that maybe *I* am the reason my kids don`t go to bed *quietly*.... lol


Usually we have dinner, then bath, then quick movie, then IN BED at 7pm.

Zach is allowed to watch a movie or dvd episodes of dora or bob the builder, usually he`s sleeping by 8pm

Emilie, on the other hand... we have to put back to bed like 20 times...and her usual time for getting to sleep is around 8:30 or 9pm... but these last few night, she`s been in bed watching her tv (dvd`s actually), she`s been quiet since about 7:30 - the first night, she was still up at 9pm, probably the novelty of being allowed to watch tv.... last night, she was sleeping by 8:15....

hopefully this will be the new trend... as Nichole said, PUT AWAY for 7pm and sleeping by about 8pm...
