Hi all,

My son is 3.5 months old, and is sleeping 9 hours a night right now (I know, we are super lucky). My question is, what are other people's bedtime routine's like? Right now, Wes naps from 1-5 in the afternoon, then is pretty much awake completely until about 9. He eats his last meal between 10 and 10:30, and then we all go to bed about 11pm. He then sleeps through until 8am. I am obviously pretty happy with this right now, as I am not working. I know there will come a time when Wes will have to be getting up earlier (like when he is 1 and needs to go into daycare). When should we start putting him to bed earlier? Right now I am selfish and REALLY enjoy the 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep (I have to get up between 5 and 6 to pump) ...

Thoughts? Opinions?

Wow, 9 whole hours. I am jeleous. :) Up until a few days ago we were getting Jesse to bed between 10 & 10:30. (Lately he has been staying up till 1, much to our dismay) Normally, when I would get home from work about 5 he would play a little bit, then eat, and take a 30 min nap. (So we would quick eat during his nap) Then he would be up and we would play some more. He loves listening to music so we would let him have some wiggle\dancing time then some time to either be in the bouncer, the walker, or the exersaucer. We would read him a book then and feed him again and he would fall asleep pretty quick after that if I would rock him. Then he would sleep till around 3-4 if we were lucky.
