Sounds like she's doing really well! I wouldn't rock the boat

DD is a little over 2 months old and we're getting 6-8 hour stretches at night. We typically put her to bed right before we got to bed (so around 10:30-11:30pm).

I figure I want get as much of her long sleeping stretch at the same time I'm sleeping as possible.

Hes been going to bed around 8 forever! He is 16 months.

I think it all depends on your family's schedule and when you have to get up and how naps go. My LO usually goes to bed between 7 and 8. We sometimes start getting her ready around 6:45. She typically sleeps until 5-6am, so about 9-10 hours with normally no wake ups but occasionally will need to eat early at 2-3am. We often have to get her up by 6 so this works for us although I wish she understood weekends!

We wanted DS to get up at 730am so we always had 730pm as his bedtime. When he was little we would put him to bed at 730pm and then give him a dreamfeed at 1030pm and he's usually sleep a good long stretch that way. We were always trying to time everything so that he would never wake up hungry after 430am because then he would not go back to bed and we would be complete zombies. He weaned off the dreamfeed at 5-5.5ish months. Some days he wakes early but now at 11 months we just let him play in there by himself until we are ready to go get him. When he was younger we would go get him if he was crying anytime after 6am. Obviously teething and sickness throws all of that off but he's been a pretty good sleeper since 4 months (he was a holy nightmare before then).
