DD's bedtime has always been really early, as early as 5 pm! Even now, she goes to bed at 6:30 pm and she is 2 years old. It is a downside that DH doesn't get to see her in the evenings, though.

LATE! Like between 11pm - 12am. Yeah, huh? Only b/c I stay home and my oldest wakes up around 8am (he sleeps at 9-9:30pm). So I usually plan for my 3 month old to sleep in our room from 12am - 12pm with two feedings in between. Then I get to spend the morning with my 3 y.o. uninterrupted. He likes it too. Works for us for now. But my LO takes shorts naps and seems to be okay falling asleep shortly after I put him down for the night. My husband comes home late too...7:15pm, sometimes later but no later than 8pm. He has a long commute so sleeping early for our kids is hard if he ever wants to see them during the week. Sucks but that's life with us! Works for us though, even if hubby and I don't get too much alone time. I figured we will when our youngest is older and can sleep a solid 12 hours.

your lo is still young. her bedtime will naturally shift earlier as she gets a little older.

olive is almost 9 months and she goes down by 6:30. If she wakes up early from a nap (usually because we're out and she takes a stroller nap), we'll put her down around 5:30. Her bedtime used to be 5:30 pretty regularly when she was a little younger.

Last night I put her down by 5:30 and she woke up at 7:10am this morning (woke up 3 times in the middle of the night). But that is almost 14 hours in bed!

Usually between 9-10pm works best for us. I go to bed around midnight, so I give him a quick bottle in his crib before I go to bed, and that usually lasts him until close to 7am.

My son is 9 weeks and has been going to bed at 9:30. I'm going to start moving that time earlier in the coming weeks.

At 8 weeks i tried to put her down around 7pm based on all of the books, but she refused to go down early. Now at 11 weeks, her bedtime has slowly shifted from 9 pm to 8pm so i need to make sure im done with most of my bedtime routine by 7:30 or she gets really cranky.

@Mrsdaredevil: omg it takes her forever too! Thankfully, she's done with the fussing part but usually she nurses for like 15-20 then I feel like she's "asleep" at about 30minutes so give her another 30 to be in deep sleep. But. If I try to put her in her crib after an hour she wakes up. So usually she's not safe to put down till 2hours. I really hope that changes soon...

At 4 weeks it was 8pm and at 9 weeks we moved it to 7. Now it is generally between 6-7 unless we have a crap nap day then it is 5:30-ish.

Our LO has never indicated when he is ready to go to bed...he goes to sleep when we tell him to!

Ours is around 8pm (12 weeks here), but that just happened naturally, not based on anything I did. But now that it's established I try to keep it consistent by timing our end-of-day routine to finish around 8.

I aim to be doing the night-time nursing at 8pm. I usually watch tv while I nurse him, so sometimes I just keep him on me until my show is over at 9. I love the baby snuggles.
