I have a 8 month old boy who doesnt have a set bed time or nap time. what time does everyone put their child down for bed and naps. My 8 year old daughter goes to bed at 8:30 and I would like him to go about the same time. I would like to wake him up at 7 am everyday..does that sound logical? what times should he go down for a nap(s?) if i choose these time for bed time and wake time?

A schedule will help. Your 8 year old daughter going down at 8:30 sounds right. Your son should be going down by 7:30 pm. If he wakes up during the night for feeding that is okay. My boys before they were 2 years old took a nap in the morning around 10 am. because they would wake up at between 6:30 am. and 7 am. They also took a nap in the afternoon around 2 pm. When the oldest one was around 4 I could not get him to take his afternoon nap so he would be in bed by 7:30 pm. The youngest son did take his nap in the afternoon until 5 years old. They are now 6 and 8 and they are bathed, read stories and lights out by 8:30 pm. Yes a schedule is key in keeping insane for you and the baby.

My duaghter will be 8 months in 9 days, she has been sleeping from 8pm-7am since she was 4.5 months old, so the no feeing part shouldnt be a problem, but if he is waking for a feed then he may need it. But i put my LO down at about 8pm every night, if she is very tired it is sometimes 730pm, this is only usually on the days she has swimming lessons. She then sleeps till about 730am-8am. She stays up for 2 hours, then has a 1 hour nap, then stays up for about 3-4 hours and has about 1.5-2 hours nap again, the next time she sleeps is then bedtime. hope this helps :)
