Usually DD2 goes to bed first but she's been trying to delay bedtime lately. DD1 is sick so I think I might put her to bed first then go put DD2 down.
Who usually goes to bed first in your house?

I put my older one down first. He's 3.5 and doesn't nap so by 7:30 he neeeeeds to sleep. My 19 month old takes a 3 hour nap everyday and can make it till 8.
Also I solo parent a lot at night and before when my youngest went to bed first the older one got in wayyyy too much trouble on his own. Like drinking half a bottle of Benadryl once, or body painting himself like Buzz Lightyear another time...

They are 2 and 4 and we do the whole bedtime routine together and put them to bed at the same time right after their bedtime stories.

My boys are 3.5 and 2. They go to bed at the same time. My oldest doesn't nap much anymore but my youngest does for an hour to an hour and half.

My kids are 3.5 and 16 months and go to bed basically at the same time. We do baths together, books in M's room and tuck her in. J and I rock and sing in the chair in his room for 5 minutes or so and then he goes in his crib.
We're in this really nice groove right now where the bedtime routine is actually enjoyable

DD2! But they're generally in bed within 20 minutes of each other.

2.5 year old first, then I nurse the baby, swaddle, nurse her to sleep. Usually it's about an hour later once she's finally asleep.

The baby goes down first, then once he's settled, K goes to bed. Usually within about 15 minutes of each other though.

On weekdays my LO2 goes to bed a lot earlier than LO1.
On the weekend they go to bed at the same time since LO1 won't nap at home.

My big girl (3.5) goes to bed first because my wee guy (1) needs quiet to nurse to sleep.

DS2 goes to bed first around 7:30. He's 16 months and even though he naps, he has higher sleep needs than DS1. DS1 is in bed reading at 7:30 also, but he doesn't actually go to sleep until 8.

Same time. Started when LO was a baby. Easier for us to put them both down at the same time,

DS #2 usually goes down first right around 7pm on the dot. He's usually tired and ready for bed at that time. DS #1 starts bedtime around 7:30-7:40pm after Transformers and play timed with an iPhone alarm. I'm waiting for the bedtimes to match up, same with bath. For now, it works for our family.
