    Default What time does your 3 yr old go to bed??

    Not sure if there's a topic already or not but just want to know when your 3 yr old goes to bed??
    Do they have a set time or just whenever they fall asleep?
    Do they fall asleep in their bed or elsewhere eg lounge, your bed??
    Do they have a day nap still?? If they do, what time do they go to bed??
    Do they wake up thru the night, a lot, sometimes or occasionally??

    Thanks

    My DS2 was 3 in November he has gone to bed at 6pm for at least the past year he has only just started falling asleep on his own in his own bed, before the he would fed to sleep then we moved onto cuddles to sleep then into his own bed sidecaring next to my bed holding hands then moved his bed into his brothers room and I would lay on a spare mattress next to his bed while he fell asleep. It's been a long long long road! We tried doing it the hard way but it was too distressing for everyone involved.

    He hasn't day napped since he was 18 months. He used to wake up a lot during that transition phase when we cosleep he slept right through. At the moment he is waking again around 10pm am but he is settling very quickly he usually wakes 3 times all up for a drink or a blanket readjustment but it's quiet easy to tend to him as I am right there.

    Eta he gets up at 5:30-6am sometimes 6:30

    My ds was 3 in january.

    Its different now with daylight savings but his usual bed times were 7:30 (just after dark) and his day nap I would try to put him down after lunch roughly 12-1 and not let him sleep more than 4 hours but sometimes he would only sleep 30 mins. Now with daylight savings we eat earlier so he goes to bed a little earlier too.

    Oh he sleeps in his bed not on lounge/our bed ect. And only wakes up if he is sick (so in pain, vomiting ect) or if he has had a bad dream (hardly ever but sometimes he needs comforting) a few,wweks ago we had a bad storm and really bad thunder (i swear it shook our house) woje him up.

    My Dd isn't 3 until August but she goes to bed between 7 and 815. We have a routine of dinner, bath, tidy up, teeth and toilet, into bed where I read 3 books then toilet again then she has a nightlight and can sit up for 15-20 minutes to look at books herself. So she falls asleep in her own bed. Most days she still has a day sleep for 1-3 hours. If she has a sleep she goes to bed at night a bit later (815) or no day sleep means she is in bed by 7-730. She does wake sometimes through the night usually because of a bad dream or to wee or if she has an accident.

    Mine is 3 years, 5 months. He goes to bed at 630, on his own in his own room. This has been for a year, before that he was fed to sleep. He doesn't have a nap and if he falls asleep in the car for even 10-15 mins, he won't go to sleep til 9!!
    He wakes a couple of times a week, to have his blankets fixed or occasionally wets the bed. He gets up between 515 and 615 *groan*

    Not quite 3 but.

    Now sleeps for an hour max or has quite time.

    Has fallen asleep once in our bed.

    No set bed time but the routine of bath books bed starts at 7:30 ends at 8:30-9:00.

    She wakes a lot for a short period maybe two weeks the goes back to sleeping through weeks on end.

    When things get bad, there bad. Waking 1-3 times a night, every time being hysterical. Sleeps way to long during the day or not at all. Is horrible from 6:00pm and goes to bed at 9 and cries non stop unless I am there, not going to bed for ages. The latest being 11pm.

    But when it good it great. Bed by 8:30, happily going to bed, wakes at 8:30am and is happy all day.

    We have had much more good times then bad since she turned 2. We tend to have bad runs when a) she is having a brain spurt b) a near fear appears like a fear of the dark or most recently death c) she is getting sick d) she is not eating or resting properly during the day or e) she has not gotten enough quality time with DP and I.

    Our li'l guy goes to bed at around 10pm. If he goes any earlier, he wakes at about 5am. It's the only way to get him to sleep til about 7am. He sleeps through the night most nights. It's just the way he has always been. I'm hoping to change his routine when he gets a bit older.

    Do they have a set time or just whenever they fall asleep? DD1 goes to bed at 7pm every night, though some nights I put her to bed at 6:30pm if she is driving me a bit crazy.
    Do they fall asleep in their bed or elsewhere eg lounge, your bed?? She falls asleep in her bed, always.
    Do they have a day nap still?? No she doesn't have any naps.
    Do they wake up thru the night, a lot, sometimes or occasionally?? 99% of the time she sleeps through, every now and then she may wake up for a drink or something.
