What time is sleep time??

[abs]

Jordy has been a consistent 5-6pm down for the count for months - we've tried keeping him up but it doesn't work. He'll pass out in our arms if we tried

Of course he's then up at 5amish - occasionally 5.30, and back to bed 2hrs later

Roll on daylight savings

Think I am doing it all wrong then - Rylee has a fairly routine day - 3 to 4 hourly feeds and good sleeps then it gets to 5 pm and it all goes wrong - lots of crying, unsettledness etc, then we end up giving her a bath about 10 pm, then feed and bedtime - she usually wakes up about 2.30/3 am then again at 7 am - maybe I should try the bath routine alot earlier in the evening...will give it a go tonight see if it makes a difference.

I've read about the 7pm train and that you don't want to miss it! Chloe was going to bed between 6 & 7 at that age depending on the last feed as she was a feed / play /sleep routine at that stage. Therefore the past feeds and sleeps dictated when that last feed of the day would happen IYKWIM? I found though that by 3 months or so she was really regular with her feeds and sleeps and was going to bed at 7. While we are on the subject I've also read that keeping them up late doesn't make them sleep any longer. I've tried this when we have been out for dinner etc. and she still wakes up at the same time.

I just follow Cooper's lead basically. He has shown that 5-6pm is his bed time. If I give him a feed at this time and put him to sleep he won't wake up until 8-10 hours later.

So that's his bedtime!
