R is 4 months and goes to bed at 8 and I can't see that changing anytime soon. Our first had a 7 pm bedtime for a long, long time and we learned that hard way that not every kid sleeps 12 hours....so we were up at 5 for a long time! 6 am wakeup works much better for our family so I can't see us doing earlier than 8 anytime soon!
What time does your baby go to sleep?

@winniebee: what time is his last nap? I find that A gets really fussy/cranky at 6pm so we have been putting him to bed by then. Unfortunately that means he is up at 6am!

Baby goes down at eight.
Toddler goes down at nine.
I really like the eight o'clock wakeup.

@Freckles: his last nap is all over the place! Today his afternoon naps were horrendous (15m each!) so he was asleep by 745. He is pretty chill though and can hang even when way overtired.

@oliviaoblivia: I wish 8pm meant 8am wakeups! Mostly it means 630 or 7 including the night waking.

@winniebee: the baby still wakes between five and six for early breakfast but L likes to sleep in. Love it!

J goes down between 7:30 and 8 depending on how many parents are here to manage the two kids. He was up for the day at 4:30 today. Ugh.

He goes down at 8, but normally stays in bed and "reads" or sings to himself until 8:30ish (or 9, or later, but he's in bed at least).

Both of the kids (will be 22 months and 9 months this month) go down at 7pm and wake up around 7.

I have a two year old and she goes down between 7:30-8. She wakes up around 6:30-7 in the morning but then takes an epic 3 hour nap in the afternoon. Girlfriend loves her beauty sleep. I kinda wish she took a shorter nap and slept in more in the morning though. I find it super hard to do anything in the afternoon because she sleeps for so long (like out of the house errands, etc).

Last bottle with lights out and PJs at 7, in crib by 7:15 and asleep between 7:15 and 7:30. He wakes up at 6:30 on average.
I've heard/read that the time you put them to bed won't impact wakeup time. Each baby has their own internal clock and they'll wake up at pretty much the same time even if you put them down later or earlier, so my ped said to put him down as early as I can to maximize his sleep and my "me time". Full disclosure I don't know from experience if that's true because I've been too afraid to experiment with his bedtime 
But I wonder if anyone else has? I would love for him to sleep until 7/7:30 but I really like his 7pm bedtime too. So I'm just going to stick with it!

Mines always slept about 630-630 or 7 from STTN through now (2). We used to try later and he would still wake up early so we also went back to the earlier time. He always seems ready and falls asleep fast. I'm a big fan of this schedule and my husband likes that he gets to see him at night and AM, even if he leaves for work around 7.

@oliviaoblivia: t is almost always up by 7 /730. Which is a dream compared to his infancy when he woke at 5 every day!

At 4 months, it was 830/9pm. At 6 months, it was more like 7pm. It stayed there until about 18-20 months and it has been 7:30 since. 645am wake up

He's is bed by 8 or 8:30, but it's usually close to 9 before he falls asleep either way. He just talks or sings to himself for a while before falling asleep.
And it doesn't matter what time he goes to bed, he's almost always up by 6:30-7am. He slept until 8 once ever, and 7:30 maybe 10 times.

E currently goes down at 7pm. It was 6 for a long time because she's a terrible napper and, until recently, was an exhausted mess when we picked her up in the evenings.

It was around 6:30-7 for LO 2 from 5 weeks on. LO 1 had a later bedtime (8:30-9ish) until I went back to work.

Until 4 months it was 730pm with a dreamfeed at 10ish. Once we dropped that feeding and moved to a 4 hour schedule, DS needed a Short disco nap so bedtime moved to 8-830pm. He just dropped that nap at 6.5 months and we moved to a 4.5 hour hybrid schedule so we are back to 7-730pm thank goodness. He usually starts making a racket at 630am but goes back to sleep until 715-730am.

Somewhere between 7pm and 9pm. He's 6 months. We're not really into strict sleep times. I'd love it if he could hang out with us later in the evening but he's just too tired and grumpy. If he wakes up too early in the morning, DH rocks him back to sleep.

We get up at 5ish for gym and work, so that's when LO (11 months) now wakes up naturally...so he goes to sleep between 6:30 and 7. It kinda' sucks on the weekend, though, when we don't have to get up that early but he still does.

Both D (4 months) and S (almost 3) go to bed at 9-9:30, wake-up has crept earlier and is about 8 am now.

From 4 months on it was 7 pm. Morning wakeup varied but the average is 630 am. Now at 15 months we are on 1 nap and a 630 pm bedtime (sometimes 6pm if he's super cranky) and he sleeps until 630 or 7 am.

13 months and he goes to bed at 7pm. His older bro who will be 3 in couple of months goes to bed at 8pm. Both wake up between 6-6:30, which works ok for us.

7pm (ranging from 6:45-7:15) at 7 months old. His typical wake-up time is about 6:15-6:30, sometimes as early as 5-5:30 (woof), but appears to be entirely unrelated to when we put him down for the night.
