why do people put there babies to bed so late?

Question

my daughter is 10 months and goes to bed at 7.00pm and wakes at 7.30/8.00 am why do some people not put there babies to bed till like 10.30/11.pm?? you have no time to take to hubby about his day ect do you go to bed all at the same time ???

i think 7.00 is a good time you want them in bed at that time when they start school so i think start the habit now thats all but i understand if thats the only way to get them to sleep through never realy thought of that

my daughter is ready for bed at that time some times 6.30 i keep her up as late as i can to see daddy she has a very busy fun day and it tires her out

Answer 1

Wow, you are a very lucky! My six month old daughter is an OK sleeper. She falls asleep at about 10 and then wakes at 3 and again at 7/8. If I put her to sleep at 7 she would be up at 12 ready to start her day. I think that most babies have more similar sleep patterns to my daughter. A long six to eight hour stretch with out eating is a decent amount of time for a baby. Some babies, up until two years of age still fall asleep closer to 9/10 at night and that isn't that unusual. Trust me, all of us strive for that early bed time. If I could get her to sleep at 7 I would. She has recently started to get sleepy at 8...but who knows how long that will last.

Answer 2

Some people don't have a schedule for their house hold, they just go with the flow. When my son was 10 months old there was no way i could put him to bed at 7:00 because he would wake up around 5-6:00 in the morning. He's an early riser like me so we put him to bed by 9-9:30. Still has the same bed time and he's 3yrs old. Unless something happens and we have to go out then his bed time might get messed up and pushed back but only if there's something important that we have to take care of. I'm 31 weeks pregnant so there's no way we all go to bed at the same time, sometimes i can't sleep at all and other times i'm so tired i have to go to bed by 7:00 and my husband has to put our son to bed.
I see some people let their kids stay up until they fall asleep which i think is ridiculous, especially when their already in school but everyone is different and lives their own life style.

Answer 3

Some people keep their children up late so that they will sleep until 6-7. It depends on the child's sleep patterns. Good for you if your child sleeps 7-7 but that is not the same for all. Also that doesn't give you husband much time to see the baby either, assuming he comes home at 5 or 6. I have a friend who let s her baby stay up late to spend time with her father. Who cares what other people do? It is what works for you and your household that really matters.

Answer 4

I'm a stay-at-home dad. Our 9 month old son goes to bed about 10:00. My wife leaves for work by 7:30am and doesn't get home until almost 6:00pm. It would kill her to not be able to spend time with him. She feeds him as soon as she gets home, then plays with him for the next 3 hours. From 9-10 we put him to bed as a family, then my wife and I spend about an hour together discussing the day. It's tough, but it works for us. As long as our son gets the right amount of sleep, I don't see this as a problem.

Answer 5

My son (now 8 months old) has always gone to bed early. He is in bed about 7:30pm and wakes about 6:30am. I experiemented to see if he would go to sleep later and it just didn't work. I feel blessed that he sleeps that long and it does give me and daddy some time together. We both like it this way.

Answer 6

My girl is 9 months old. She doesn't go to bed until 11pm, but even then she only sleeps until 7:30. It is just a part of her schedule. Even her naps are at the same time everyday. 10am 2:30pm and 7pm. Each baby is different.

Answer 7

my son is almost 2 if he takes a nap during the day he wont go to sleep until 11-12, if he doesn't take a nap he still doesn't go to bed until 8:30-9:30 depending on how busy his day was. he just isn't ready to go to bed. if i put him to bed he wont stay he'll get up and play in his room for x amount of time. so its not that he doesn't get put to bed its staying in bed that's impossible for him.

Answer 8

My 9mos old won't go to sleep until past 10pm. I wish she would sleep earlier. If she sleeps around 8 or so , it'll be like a nap for her. She'll wake up an hour later and then stay up and won't go to sleep. I need help on how to get her to stay sleeping.
You've got a good baby.

Answer 9

cause some people are on different schedules than you! just because you go to bed at that time doesn't mean the rest of the world does! my son goes to bed late, even later than that sometimes! our schedules differ, you cant just say everyone should put their kids to bed at 7pm. HOW do you go out and go shopping or if you have to go to the mall or grocerie store, how do you do it?

I spend plenty of time with hubby, w hen he isn't deployed !

Answer 10

it type of feels someone is giving thumbs down for this manner of answer yet i do not care. I do what works for me and my daughter and so ought to you. My 7 month previous is going to mattress round 10:30 or 11pm (This has been her mattress time for months). She has a short nap round 7 or 8 and then continues to be up until eventually i bypass to mattress. i tried putting her immediately to mattress at 9pm one nighttime and not in any respect back! She change into up 2 situations contained in the nighttime. compared to when I positioned her to mattress even as i bypass to mattress, she will frequently upward thrust up round 8am. often times 6:30 or 7am yet i'm getting a minimum of seven hours good sleep! even as she change into that youthful I undergo in ideas really attempting to play consisting of her extra contained in the nighttime and doing each and every thing to shop her conscious. If she falls asleep, then she falls asleep. it remains nicely worth a shot. It really does the infant no damage and then mommy can get some good sleep! I undergo in ideas the first nighttime she slept for 6 hours! I felt tremendous! good success!
