When is his last nap? You could definitely try dropping the last nap and putting him to bed around 6. The on and off until about midnight sounds familiar!!

For us bedtime was sort of trial and error. We'd try putting her to bed earlier and later and keep track of night wakings and morning wakeup time for a few weeks. We realized that she did the best when we set her down at 830. Any earlier than that she woke up a lot overnight and any later than that she woke up at the same time in the morning so she got less sleep. Then when the time change happened we considered moving her bedtime up an hour (i.e. not shifting her with the clocks) but were worried she'd be up too early then. So we just moved her "up" 30 min (which was actually back 30 min in her time due to the "falling back") and when she woke up early I'd rock her back to sleep until her normal wakeup time and after a few days she was cool with that.

Now I'm thinking maybe she needs an earlier bedtime because I almost always have to wake her from her last nap (like I think if I didn't that might be her first night stretch), but we haven't messed around with it yet.

I felt like it took forever for LO 1 to sleep before 7....maybe 5-6 months?

LO 2 just did it on her own at 5 weeks. We got lucky there.
