DS has been taking a really deep nap at this time recently and sometimes he wakes up seemingly only because I bring him up to the nursery which is why I'm wondering if now is the time to bump his bedtime earlier because maybe I'm interrupting his attempt at a sleep cycle. (When I tried earlier when he was younger it was brutal which is why I went to ~8:30)
She usually goes down for the night around 10 or 11. Sometimes it takes her a few tries to actually stay asleep, so she doesn't really get her long stretch until closer to 12 or 1, but I like it that she's more of a night owl, so to speak, because it gives a better chance that her long stretch and my bedtime line up. Plus I like that she sleeps in later.

About 9:30. He's following DD's trajectory so I'm imagining it'll keep getting earlier until settling at around 7:30 within a few months. We pretty much just follow their cues instead of trying to set a schedule but I think we're lucky with kids who just like to sleep at night. Naps? Not so much. They take a LOT of work.

Usually we start getting ready for bed between 6:30-7 with both kids so they are asleep by 7:30 but DS takes a bit longer since I have to keep him upright (thanks reflux) so I shoot for laying him down by 8. It's a long process.
Between 7:30-8:30 most nights. He is so easy to put down. He gets a bath some nights but otherwise I just change him, put him in his swaddle/sleep sack and give him his bottle. If he doesn't fall asleep while he eats he will put himself to sleep. Last night he knocked out his pacifier and sucked on his fist until he got sleepy.
Between 6:30-8:30. I need/like a little time in the evening after he goes to sleep for myself, so early bedtime works for us. He wakes up around 10-11 for a snack, then we go to bed.
After 10, but it's not set. Usually between 10 and midnight. We are getting DS1 back to an 8:30 bedtime and then going to try to get DS2 earlier. I'm hoping getting up earlier for daycare will help. Some nights, he will just not go to sleep.
DS1 goes to bed between 7:30-8:30 then DS2 gets his jammies on and goes into the swing around 9:00pm. He is brought up to his crib asleep around 10-10:30 and given a dream feed.
We have gone 100% by DS's cues on this, and he has settled into a bedtime of 7pm. Ideally he would go down a little later since I feel like that won't work once he starts day care, but what can you do. He gets up around 5 for the day, with most recently 2 feedings (around 11-12 and around 2-3). He doesn't really have a daytime nap or eating schedule.

Between 10 and midnight for us too. eventually it will probably be moved forward, but with my husband not waking up until 7 I like giving him time with them right now.

The whole family gets into bed around 9pm naturally so I think he just conforms to our pattern. We all relax and nurse and chat for a bit and we usually fall asleep within the hour, sometimes goes later, never sooner.

We are on a late schedule since DH works late and I'm a SAHM so I can sleep in with DS in the morning. We go to bed around 10 or 11 and wake up around 8, 9, or 10 depending on what's going on that day.

I did this with ds1 and it was so nice. But mama needs her alone time now so off to bed they go. Haha
