It has always been a struggle for my daughter to get to sleep. She is 8 nearly 9 n she is in bed by bout 7-7:30. It takes her a little while to sleep but just being in there in the quiet is calming n allows her to wind down before falling asleep. Then she will wake about 7 
you gotta do what works for you and them
I think its too early. I think 8 oclock is good.

Stick to what you know. It will benefit you in the long run, once it’s time for school. Kids will be used to being in bed but a certain and be well rested by the next morning when it’s time to get up and ready.
My almost 2 year old goes to bed between 6:30-7, and I don’t plan on pushing it back any time soon! Keep it early if it’s working for you! Plus, sleep research encourages consistent sleep schedules and littles need LOTS of sleep. You’ll know when it’s time to keep them up later
You nailed it perfect hun xx
I have a 6 and 4 yo. Both go to bed at 7.30
Well I dont get off work until 6, pick up the kids at 615, get home at 630ish, cook, bath time, then read books and get ready for bedtime. It’s usually 830ish before my kids lay down (4 & 1).
I honestly wish I had a better night routine so my kids could go to bed earlier, but then I would legit never see my kids.
We also wake up at 630 and have to leave the house by 7 to get to Pre-K, babysitter, then work at 8.
6 yr old gose to bed at 7:30
4 yr old gose to bed at 6:50/7
23 month old gose to bed between 6:30/6:40, most nights but just because the elder 2 have been put to bed doesn’t mean they go straight to sleep sometimes my 4 yr old can still be playing up at 9
My 1 year old goes to bed at 7:30 and my 2 year old 8:30-9. My kids have a lot of energy tho and won’t fall asleep right away if they are put to bed any earlier.
7 for both mine they are 18 months and 3.5yrs and both ready for bed by then and generally go straight to sleep at that time
I am 60 and sometime will be in bed by 6:30. If it works 4u why change it? Do what works 4u!!! Truth

If it works for your kids, then that’s great! Everybody’s kids are raised different. So what’s good for you, might not be for someone else. Do what’s working for you, & not worry about it!

Why is it to early? If your daughter is saying she’s sleepy what’s the problem!
My son is 9 months old and ever since he was about 3 months old he’s been in a routine and he’s in bed by 7pm every night! We start wind down time from 5pm starting with his dinner then his bath then he will watch in the night garden and round about 6:45 he will have his night time bottle!
There is nothing wrong with routine and nothing wrong with putting your babies down early! If it works for them and also you then that’s great! They use a lot of energy during the day so 6:30 7pm is a good time and means they are getting a good night sleep ready for the next day and all their little adventures! Don’t stress
My 4yr Old is in bed between 7-7:30 and I have people commenting ALL THE TIME “your kids go to bed too early” (my 2yr old is settling down in bed at that point but sometimes Won’t sleep till 8:30-9) if my oldest goes to bed any later then that she literally cannot function probably and her behaviour plummets big time at preschool. She sleeps 12-14h a night.
It’s a good thing, young children need that 10-11 hours of sleep.
I put mine to bed at 7 If theyd go to bed earlier id put them to bed earlier haha

If it’s working fine for you and your family. Keep it. No need to change their routines bc someone else doesn’t do it that way. Maybe once a week you can add an extra 30 mins to the day for extra fun , more cuddles laughs and family.if u wanted to change anything.
I tried changing my daughters sleep schedule once. Notice I said once. That’s bc I listened to people who told me I was putting her to bed too early. Well, after we had a nuclear emotional meltdown and turned into a gremlin I went right back to her 8:30 bed time. Pay attention to the signs they give you. You know your kids better than anyone else.
Early bedtime is good. My kids are 9 and 11 and always have had an early bedtime. They are asleep by 8pm. Keep up the routine
My 8 month old goes to bed at 7pm
My children always had a 10pm bedtime bc it worked for us. They had friends with 7/8 bedtimes even through high school. It’s really what works for your family and things will adjust as needed.
Keep up the good work.
My daughters bedtime is 7-8 depends really usually aim for 730 she gets a snack and sippy of milk around 630
Well they get their 12hrs sleep so its good . Mine used to go to bed at 7.30 as they got older they could read til 8 never had any problems
This is a good schedule for you and your family so go with it.
Stick with their schedule. Might change later but it is working for them.
Sounds good !! you need time for you, and you Need rest. Don’t worry about what other people do!
You do you and what works for your kids.

8pm is our bedtime! My child is usually wide awake until then.
Stick with it especially if it works for you
My 3 year old goes to sleep between 7:30-8 and wakes up at around the same time in the a.m lol
My son is 8 and goes to bed at 730
Stick what your doing
I go to bed at 8 and I am 66
Bedtime in our house was 6.00 and my oldest was 9when she was allowed to stay up till 7.00-7.30. They got up at around 7.00-7.30. Growing children need a good sleep, 12.hours if possible, and so I started the routine from birth. Like everything else this is a learned behaviour. Don’t feel judged by others. You are their mother and doing a great job of raising them. PS because of having a routine from Bethany children were good sleepers and only woke in the night when unwell.

You are so lucky! Keep that schedule of it works for you.
Nope. Sounds like you’re doing you and your family just great! Adequate sleep and consistent schedules are so so important for the moods, function, and development of little ones (and their mamas!). I say your routine is just perfect, and it’s obviously working nicely for everyone.

Sounds perfect to me. Moms need time for themselves in the evening.
I love all these positive comments!! My 7 year old is normally in bed between 6-630. However, she wakes up when I do at 4am. She goes into my parents room. She rarely goes back to sleep before school. She started this herself when she was really young.
I say, if it works for you, and your family, there don’t seem to be an issue 
It is what works for your family and doesn’t matter what others say about it. People constantly say I am wrong because mine are not aloud to have social media and I don’t give a rats ass what others say about my family or parenting style or rules.
You are doing a great job! If it works for your family keep it going!
You do what works for you, and your family there are recommended hours of sleep per age, if you’re curious about “normal” bedtimes take a peek at what the experts reccomend and see if you’re on the so called right track

We do between 7/7:15. As far as I’m concerned the amount of sleep they get is really pretty important and can affect a lot of things. Best bit of parenting advice I’ve ever gotten is “sleep begets sleep”. The earlier they go to sleep, the more they’ll sleep.

That’s what works for your family.
Stay with what works for your kids and you. Kids that age need atleast 10 hours a night
My 6 and 5 year old are in bed by 6ish then they put themselves to sleep at 6:30. They used to be the ones I could never get to bed but they always wake up at 6:30am the latest so they’re getting the rest they need and draining their energy all day at school. That then gives you " you time " either to just relax or catch up on what u need to prep for the following day
I think it all depends on what works best for you and your children my daughter never went to bed before 9 but that’s what worked for us good luck

If it works for you and your family then you’re doing it right. Everyone’s household is different. Some wish to be able to have their kids in bed by that time.
I wouldn’t change it!
Keep doing you mommy!!!

my 1 year old is in bed or tired, I should say, by 830 or 9. I also start my day at 6 am she is up by 630. I work all day so when I get home I like to spend time with her. We get gone about 6 so I spend a good 2.5 to 3 hours with her. enough time to feed her, bathe her, cuddle with her, etc. I think if it works for your family then keep doing it. you sound like a sahm and I been there done that and by 630 it’s time for bed lol
I believe we as parents do whatever is best for our families

If your kids aren’t fighting and they sleep through the night then this bedtine routine is perfect. My one year old usually stay up till about 8 going to sleep with his 11 year old big brother, however he gets two good naps in most days still. 10:30 am for about two hours plus and then at 2-3 for another hour or so. When he skips his afternoon nap he goes to bed earlier…like tonight he was showing me that he was sleepy close to 6 but faught it I didn’t push him but he went to bed at 6:45 without issue. We wake up about 6 each morning. And this schedule works great for us … You do the one that works great for you.
I’d they sleep through the night and are okay when you wake them up then I believe it’s fine. You know your children better then anyone and you are doing the best for the . Remember kids need around good 8 to 9 hours of sleep. Some even more depends on their body’s daily schedule and activities. Dont let anyone change you to their schedules those are for them and their families. Do the best for yours.
A toddler needs 12hr sleep at bedtime so if they’re getting up early then they need to go to bed early
My sister’s are in bed by 8.30pm.but not asleep till 10.00pm on a school night
Its all up to you. If you enjoy having them up early keep doing what your doing
What works for you should be what you use. Don’t worry about what others think.
If that works for you guys then keep going if you foresee it being a problem then just move it back like a half hour
If it works for you then it’s right.
Stick with it! When my kids were small even grade school 8 pm and no later was bedtime for me and them!
My 2 year old gets up like 5 or 530 he is ready for bed by 730 my 3 older ones were 830 every kid situation maybe different do what works for you guys
My 8 year old is 8:30. But when he was your kids age it was between 7:30-8
If it’s working for you don’t change it. My son when he was younger went to bed between 7-7:30 pm now he’s 9 and in bed by 8 pm
Stick to what is best for your family mama. Every single family has different schedules. What works for you is whats best
