For babies who have a late bedtime (8-9pm)- what's your daily nap routine? *Updated*

[Jem88]

My LO normally has bath around 6pm and then bottle and is in bed around 6.30 -7pm. But she's been waking and fussing alot from 6.30 - 8 sometimes 9pm and waking alot during the night but we've just been putting it down to her teething.

But yesterday my dad had her for the day and she only had 30mins sleep from 9.30am - 6.30pm She had her bath, bottle and went to bed as normal at 7pm but then woke every 5-10mins from 7pm - 8.30pm, she then finally settled around 9pm but then slept from 9pm - 5am with only a 15min wake for a feed at 1.30am, which was a great night.

I'm now wondering if she needs a later bedtime to sleep properly during the night? but we can't get her to nap later than 3.30pm and then shes obv tired and wanting to goto bed around 6-7pm.

I'm just wondering for tho's who have babies who goto bed around 8-9pm, what are your daily nap routines?


Thanks.

* Just a little update, i went to my mums lastnight as my cousin wanted to see Sophie, so i didn't get back home til 8.30pm, we then tried from 9pm - 9.35pm to settle her, she screamed and fought but then slept from 9.35pm - 5am, woke for a feed then slept til 6.15am first time she's slept through without a feed. We're going to try and put her down at 8am and hope she sleeps good again. Thanks for the replys. *

9pm is early for me, haha! But I'm an insomniac. Tori goes down to bed at 9pm, wakes up around 8am for her 'night time' bottle, sleeps until 10/11am-ish.
She will usually take either 2, 1 hour naps around 2pm and 5pm or a 2 hour nap around 3/4pm.

Elias goes to bed around 10-10:30pm, and wakes up a few times during the night to eat (I co-sleep, and he dream feeds). He's a lazy boy and wakes up at 11am, and goes back to sleep around 12-12:30pm. He'll have 2-3 more naps through out the day.

mine goes down around 9 each night. we do bath/boob/bed from about 7:30 onward. she wakes for the day around 10 on average and is still up 2-3 times each night (sometimes 4 )

she wakes around 10 and has a nap around 11:30/12, another nap around 2 or 3 and (hopefully) another around 5:30/6pm. her naps are usually 30-45 min long. every once in a while she'll do a 2 hour nap at 2-4pm or 3-5pm and on those days she won't nap again til bedtime.

she goes down well at 9pm and usually wakes for a feed either at 12 or 2...completely random. it's 12:30 right now and she hasn't woken for a feed yet...

Mekai goes down at 8:30ish, he still wakes around 3 times a night..

He seems to have dropped a nap over the last week.. But he wakes about 7:30, naps about 11 for a good hour and at about 3:30 for another hour or so.. =]

My son has gone to bed at 10pm the last 3 nights. He's slept til 9.30am then had 1 afternoon nap of about 1 hour. Hoping to get him into perhaps an 8-8 bedtime .

My LO has her porridge and bottle and bath at about 7pm each night give or take, and then she falls asleep on me about 7.30pm, I put her in her swing to sleep then wake her about 10pm for a dream feed and take her upto bed, she then sleeps until around 6/7am has another feed then back to sleep until 9/10am. She normally has a 20 min nap about every 3 hours through the day but if out and about in the pram she will stay awake most of the day. x

9pm is early for us! Maria goes to bed much later, anytime between 11 and 1 but usually closer to 1.
She wakes up between 11 and 12 and then naps for 45 mins - 1 hour and a half, after about two hours awake time. So usually 4 naps in a day.

My baby won't sleep. He has maybe one half an hour nap all day and then sleeps 10-4am on and off then 5-8am.

I'm exhausted all the time.
