What time do you start your bedtime ‘routine’ for you LO’s and when do they wake up in the morning?

I start between 8-8:30 every night, and she falls asleep normally around 9 every night, with the exception of growth spurts etc. She wakes every 2-3 hours until 5:30-7am (been getting earlier lately. She’s exclusively BF as she ain’t take a bottle, even with breast milk. So I’ve been told she may wake up a lot due to this, and it’s still true at 10 weeks but what does everyone else do?

I start mine at 7/7:30 and try to get him in bed by 8. I usually give him his last bottle in bed (I unfortunately didn’t produce milk so I had to switch over to formula). Although he’s almost 8 months now so it may differ from yours due to time difference but before 3-4 months I didn’t have a specific time yet just put him down when I saw he was really tired Also your little one may not take the bottle because they might not like the shape of the teat. Have you tried different ones?

@Jackie I have tried every brand I could find, she just won’t take anything. Not even a dummy. I also think she’s now teething which is adding extra stress in haha

I start mine at 7:30 and she’s asleep by 8:30pm. 9pm latest when we’re out. She’s bottle feeding exclusively breastmilk and formula only 2 times a day. Doesn’t wake up but cries a little or starts moving around every 3-4hours at night for milk. Have had this routine since she was 2 1/2 month, she’s currently 3 months and 3 weeks.

Start feeding baby on the breast, once she unlatches or after a couple of minutes quickly pop the bottle in her mouth. Also, if I read right and she’s only 10 weeks old. They still need to learn to connect their sleep cycles, which is why some babies will wake up more frequently.

@Amy does that help them take the bottle? As I need her to take it so she can eat more as she’s not gaining weight quick enough apparently.

@Leah yes it does help them take a bottle xx

8-8.30 bedtime routine and sleep by 9/10pm and wake up at 7am with 2 night time wakes at 1 and 5am

We start bedtime around same time as you. On days our son has daycare he’s woken up around 6am, and on non-daycare days we let him sleep till he wakes up, which varies between 7 and 8/8:30am. He’s 2.5

Exactly same as you, only my LO has gas problems so often wakes up more frequently than every 2 hours
