child free by 8pm?!?!?! UPDATE

sam#3 · Feb 2nd, 2009, 10:32 AM

We had our (late) 6 week check today and everything is going great.

Ive been feeding harry every 2 hours day and night but the HV told me today i need to eek it out to be feeding him 3 hourly and then soon 4 hourly at night...... that would be amazing!!! She said he prob doesnt need the milk every 2 hours he is just waking out of habit and wanting a nuzzle!!!

He weighs 13lb 12oz so hes certainly getting more than enough the lil chubba!!

She has also told us to change his bedtime, we run his bath at 9pm and by the time hes bathed, dressed and fed he goes down at 10pm.
Shes told us to do his bath at 7pm and then he will be down by 8pm..... Anais goes to bed at 8pm so we could have a child free evening

We shall try it tonight and see how it goes......... fingers crossed!!!

UPDATE - Well Dylan went to bed at 7pm, we bathed Harry got him dressed and i fed him then put him into bed at 8pm, Anais then said goodnight and went off to bed!!! So far Harry has stirred once but just for a dopey lil whinge, no screaming yet!!!!

worth a try! at the moment I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old who both go to bed at 6pm, dinner at 4:30 bath at 5:30 then bed

one of the things I am not looking forward to with the new baby coming is losing my evenings!

Oooo you're doing well!!! Our 2yr old goes at 7pm and our 7yr old goes at 8pm or a bit later if she can blag it!! I bet you will be able to get the new LO in a good routine too x

Good luck! Niamh tends to feed every 3 hours during the day, but seems to be going 5 hours at night now. I think it's just a fluke though!

Renah's started to pace herself going up to 7 hours at night with no feed! But only if I put her down at 11:30pm

I wish she'd go to bed at 8,but it just won't happen. She won't even go at 10. She keeps waking the second I put her down unless its at 11:30.

Good luck though! Sounds like a plan to me!

Since Kyle was born we had a strict bedtime. In the sense, he was always down everynight between 7pm and 8pm, it seems to have work cause he's still the same now, unless he's unwell, or we've had to mess his schedule up during the day. Good luck, hope it works!

Jasmine goes into her bed at 8... but she usually falls asleep by 7. I give her a bottle at 8 though. G?ood luck! She sleeps through until 7.
