    We start bedtime as early as 4:30 :flushed: he's usually asleep by 5:30/6. This is just how he worked his schedule out and I just go with the flow(although I google ways to make bedtime later from time to time..try it and it always backfires). He used to sleep until 5am but here recently has been waking at 4am. I sah so I try to just deal with the early bedtime/early wake--it won't be like this forever...right?!

    He needs to stay up at least 3 hours past his last nap or he's restless. All. Night. Long. So it varies.

    Usually between 7 and 8 with a typical we up time between 530 and 630.  It depends on if/when she wakes up in the middle of the night.

    No specific bedtime here.  It depends on what's going on that day - if she's at daycare, if we get home at 7:30pm from the dance studio with her sisters, if we have company, etc.  Sometimes she's in bed at 7:30 or 8, sometimes 9.  she generally wakes between 6-7am.

    We start her bedtime routine at 7:30, she has her last bottle at 7:45, she's in bed by 8 or shortly after.

    There is some flexibility in it, but we usually start around 6:15 (dinner, bath, jammies). Then, we cuddle for ten to fifteen minutes and he's usually out by 7:00, though it sometimes is as late as 7:15. He sleeps till about 7:00 the next morning, through he occasionally will be up chatting with himself happily as early as 5:30. I don't remember the last time he had a middle of the night wake up. Yes, I realize how lucky I am.

    I'm just starting to be more stringent about her schedule. She wakes at 8.  Napping 3 hours later, around 11ish.  Waking around 1.  Awake from 1-4.  Asleep around 4-6.  Awake from 6-9.  Starting sleep routine around 8:30.  In bed by 10 at latest.  

    We're figuring it out, but 2 hours asleep, and 3 hours awake seems to be the correct formula.

    Last nursing session at 8 p.m. and he usually falls asleep while nursing by 8:15-8:30 p.m. We have to wake him up at 6:15 a.m. to go to work, but he sleeps in until 7:15-8:15 a.m. on days we don't work and just takes shorter naps those days.

    We're on vacation now in a time zone an hour ahead, but just kept him on his usual time zone so he's going to bed later and waking up later this week. Much easier than trying to adjust to a new time zone and adjust back a week later!
