It takes us all the way to midnight for our daughter to fall asleep. she gets formula and breastmilk..  How does everyone get there kids to go to bed early?

    C goes to bed at 8. I change/sleepsack and feed at 730 and shes in her crib at 8. I just picked that time one day and stuck to it. If shes fussy and doesn't go right to sleep, she stays in there until she does. I did CIO. So she usually rolls around for 10 mins or so then goes to sleep. What happens when you try to put your LO down earlier?

    Right away, I started a bed time routine. After you get that started, work on that for a month or so then start to push back bed time. Be consistent. 

    Here's how ours works:

    5pm he gets a veggie or fruit puree.

    I offer a 2-3oz bottle after he finishes his food. (He usually doesn't eat his entore bottle)

    I start dinner for DH and myself. I cook and eat. Usually done by 630-7. We take a walk to the mailbox with the dog.

    After our walk, it's bath time, 4-5 oz bottle, and rocking to sleep.

    LO is in bed anywhere between 830-930. 

    I do dishes, wash bottles, visit w/ DH when he comes home from work, make DH lunch, shower, and I'm in bed between 10-11. 

    LO sleeps anywhere between 10-12 hours.

    Benjamin changed it himself really. It used to be 10. But it's between 7 and 8 now. We play, take a bath, do lotion and pajamas, turn on white noise, turn off all the lights, bottle, rock, prayer, and then crib. Sometimes I put him down awake and sometimes asleep. He is waking once a night to eat now but was STTN last week.
    I would try a set routine and move bedtime a bit earlier each night.

    Second the bedtime routine comments, for us it works to give her a bath, put on pijamas, BF and hold her to sleep by 8pm. You could try giving her a dream feed around 11pm if she's used to eating late.
