do u wake ur babies up at a certain time each morning

[Teeny]

hi
I used to but since we got her napping in her cot her naps are a lot less predictable and she is now lengthening some of them so bedtime is variable between 7 and 8 as she's impossible to get down if not tired enough. she's also started to wake sometimes after being put down so bedtime would then really be 9 or after. and some nights she's sleeps 11hours and some nearly 13.

she's not up yet and as well as enjoying a bit of time to myself, I'm wondering whether this variable wake up time is impacting on her bed time as she's not awake for as long when she's lays in.

what do u do?am I setting myself up for probs?

My daughter is 2, but she's always had a variable wake up tome between 7 and 8.30. If she is still asleep at 8.30 then we wake her. It's been that way for ages, since before she was 1. When she was younger then it did sometimes push out the whole day a bit but now she always starts bedtime at the same time without trouble.

I do, I wake her from naps too. Start the day at 7, my toddler is up at 7 too so it makes it easier for us x

Usually up by 500, but I wake her by 6 if she sleeps late (which she will if she wakes for a feed in the night), 700 would be a dream!

My lo slept until 11 this morning so i think i need to start waking her or move her bedtime back! She went to bed at 9:30 last night and fed at 5:30!

Nope! I let her sleep when she wants. I just adjust the times to suit her. Only time she gets woken is if we literally have to go out before she's woke!

They say you are 'meant' to, but I just can't bring myself to do it!

What's the saying never wake a sleeping baby lol I didn't start waking my 1st till I went back to work when she was 8 months

I haven't ever needed to because he usually wakes at around 6.30. This will suit me for when I go back to work

If for some reason he slept in longer. I think I would wake him at 7.30 for his feed or he would be up too late x

No, my 2 year old son does that for me!!

I do if we need to be somewhere and will shortly have to start doing it regularly when I go back to work. However, I've probably only had to do it maybe 3 times in his whole life, one of which was this morning!

No, she would be a total pain in the bum untill nap time if i did.
