And the bad mommy award will go to me.

Since birth this kid of mine will go to sleep between 9:30 and 10. People have told me to try and let her sleep longer during the day, to cut naps out. And it just didnt work. She use to wake up at 5 in the mornings and have 2 naps of 15 minutes each. She just wants your normal newborn.

A few weeks ago she still had a nap of about half an hour, went to bed anytime from 8:30 to 9:30 and wake up at 5 but will cuddle until about 6 sometimes 7 if I was lucky.

I now literally try and force her though her naptime and she started to go to bed at about 8 and will sleep through until about 6. But this last week had a really bad cold so she was sleeping during the day for about 2 to 3 hours. Went to bed at 7. Woke up at ten crying and fell asleep in my arms. Poor bubs. But still determined to get a bit of alone time with hubby.

And lets hope and pray my next bubs will be able to sleep a bit earlier at the night.

Hannah doesnt have day sleeps anymore, then goes to bed between 6 and 6.30pm, until about 7am. Greer has a few naps during the day, then bed between 6.30 and 7pm until between 6 and 7am.

I love my child free evenings - totally makes up for Hannahs lack of day sleeps!

Both mine are in bed by 8pm at the latest...
I try for about 7 to 7.15, depends on the bath situation. Jake usually asks to go to bed, so is in bed by 7. to 7.15, . Sometimes its before 7, but its usually 7ish. Charlotte will go between 7 and 8pm , depends on how late she slept in the arvo.
Both still wake during the night, but J sleeps till 7.730 and C sometimes sleeps till 8.30
C has one sleep during hte day, sometimes it is 2.5 hours and other times its only an hour. Jake rarely has a sleep now. I will let him have one if he asks, and I ask him if I think he is tired. if he wants one, he will go if he does. Sometimes I will think he is playing quiet in his room, go and check on him, and he is zonked out on the floor/chair/.top of bed. Jake dosen't sleep better or worse if he has a day sleep, but C sleeps better if she has one.

Leah is in bed by 6.45pm and most of the time goes straight to sleep, sometimes (like tonight) she talks and sings quietly but still is normally asleep by 7.30-8pm. I don't go in until after she is quiet to tuck her in and normally she hasn't moved from when I put her down. Last couple of weeks she has also been having 2-3 hr naps during the day and hasn't woken in the morning before 8am.

I expect this will all change when the baby comes in a few weeks, so am loving the late rising in the mornings (nearly 9am last sunday!!)

we try and put our 2y.o down between 7 and 7.30 but shes often up til 8/8.30 :S and she'll sleep until 8/8.30 in the morning! she seems to be going off her afternoon nap, some days she'll sleep for an hour or two, some days she wont. im desperately trying to keep her in the routine so that when bubs number 2 comes i might get some kind of break during the day!

Caitlyn (age 6) is in bed at 8 and asleep by 830 , she reads me her school book (which is a loooonnnnggg process) and i read her a story .
I would prefer it earlier, but hey, i work til 6 most nights, then have to come home and sort out dinner .
When (if) i get knocked up by DF this year/next and am at home all day with a baby, i hope to have an earlier routine, since i wont have to work late

Chloe(5) and Miya(2&1/2) both go to bed between 6:30-7pm and sleep until 7-7:30am they share a room and talk until around 7-7:30pm but of course they think we don't know that. Miya stopped having afternoon sleeps just before her 2nd b'day, as in she just wouldn't go to sleep at all no matter how long I left her.

Charlotte goes to bed, after her routine that hasn't changed since she was 3 months old of a bath, book, cuddle.. at around 7-7:30pm.
She always goes straight to sleep.
Generally wakes anywhere between 5:30am and 7am. Which i dont mind at all.

She stopped having naps during the day at around 18 months. Shes 3 in September! HAHA

Peter is 3 1/2, he goes to bed around 7-7:30, he always sleeps in I have to wake him up for daycare, if I leave him he could sleep until 8 or 9am sometimes! That's great if I want a sleep in though
He is just stopping naps during the day - gradually.
The 6yr old goes to bed at 7:30 or 8, and 10 yr old goes to bed 8 or 8:30pm. Always have to be half an hour after each other otherwise its "Not Fair!!" lol
