Bed Time

Just wondering the average time that everyone puts their babies down for sleep for the night. Before Brady would go down between 10:30 and 11:30 and now it seems like he doesn't last much later than 8 and will sleep until 8 the next morn....he usually wakes up 1 or 2 times between. Is that normal? Too much sleep? He has short naps during the day. Sometimes a couple short and one long one.

i bathe him at night but i use lavender bath wash so it's relaxing and i use the lotion too.  He likes to go to bed early like between 6 and 7 but then he will make it until 1am before needing to eat usually.  We have tried to wake/feed him at 10 or 11pm to try to make him last until 5 before waking to eat but it hasn't worked great so far :/

I have started to put Peri to bed around the same time as her older sister, some time during the 8 o clock hour. Last night was a late night and they went to sleep a little after 9. I wake Peri up at 5:30 every morning to eat but she goes back to sleep and then I wake her back up at 645 to dress her then we leave. I usually bathe her every other day because of her dry skin and I only do it at night since its cold here in Atlanta.

Navy goes down at around 9-10pm and wakes up at about 8 am. She then goes back down until 11 am and then takes a couple cat naps during the day and maybe a 2 hour nap in the afternoon.

Every baby is different our son would not sleep much at all at night but our girl sleeps amazingly!

We put her to bed between 7 and 8pm, then she'll wake up between 7 and 8am.  Most nights she does NOT wake up, but if she does it's once at about 3am (typically when she's getting ready to grow).

With how little our son slept I was worried about her sleeping schedule, but to be honest I'm so happy it works that well.  She also takes at least two naps a day.  Now that she hit the 3 month mark her naps during the day have slowed down.

Does everyone do their bath before bed at this point? I don't do his bath before bed...I actually do it during the day, every other day. I do it usually late morning before getting him dressed for the day. Should I start this before bed now?
