Early to bed?

Ok, our girls have for a few months been sttn. We normally feed them for a final time anywhere between 8:30-9:30, depending on if they are napping. They do really well with this and eat 4-6 ounces in this bottle and usually go right to sleep. Well, today they both took fewer and shorter naps at daycare and came home good and cranky. I fed Hannah about 5:30 and Hailey right after. Hannah fell asleep around 6 and Hailey then decided to have a scream fest from around 6 till a little after 7 when I think she finally just passed out from sheer exhaustion... she was SO tired (we woke up at 5:30 am and she had only slept for a total of about 3 hours during the day at daycare.) Well, Since Hailey was sleeping so well I decided not to bother her. Hannah had fallen asleep in the swing so I got her out and tried her bottle and she was OUT. Would not take any. So off to bed we went. Now I'm worried that they are going to wake up at like 2 in the morning screaming and hungry. and if they don't, is it ok for them to go so long w/o eating? I'm sure they'll wake up if hungry right?? Just wondering because they have never gone to bed this early!

 

I think yours are like 6months old from your ticker. I think at that age they will eat when they are hungry, so if you aren't having trouble with weight gain, then I think enjoy if they go longer between feedings at night! Only way to know if they will sttn is to try it out. Our babies are nearly 7mnths old and have been going to bed at around 530 for months now. But, we do wake them for a dreamfeed at around 9-10pm, that seems to help them sleep a little longer.
Let us know how it went!

 

They'll wake up if their hungry. I'd let them go and see how they do! Let us know how it goes!

 

yep..they'll wake if they are hungry. Mine are ready for bed at 6

 

How did everyone do last night? Hopefully they didn't wake up, but if they did, I thin it was because they were hungry.

 

Babies usually end up going to early bedtimes. They would definitely wake up if they were hungry. Enjoy sleep, mama!

 

They will wake up when they are hungry! Let us know how you make out!

ditto. Mine were sleeping 5:30 p - 5:30 a for a few months!

 

Thanks for the replies, Hailey was out and did not wake up until a little after 5 this morning! I was pretty shocked, but considering her "naps" yesterday I guess she was pretty exhausted. Neither one woke up during the night, if they did they didn't cry because I never heard them! I guess I'm just so used to them eating so often that when they slack up it worries me. They ate great this morning and hopefully are in better moods! Thanks for the replies!

 

Wow, they did great. That's awesome!

 

Great to hear that they slept through! Maybe they are ready for that then
