DD1 is 2.5yrs and goes to bed between 7 and 8pm (depending on how late dinner was, what sort of day we had, etc) and gets up around 7am. She still has a nap for an hour or two maybe 4 days a week. If she skips her nap, she goes to bed between 6.30 and 7 and generally without any fuss at all
DD2 is only 4 months old so she down between 6 and 7pm and up around 12 hours later with one feed around 3am.
DD is 3 years old and no longer has a day sleep. Ever since she dropped the day sleep she has gone to bed at 7pm and is asleep by 7.10pm. She gets up between 6am and 7am. We still have the occassional nights where she has night wake ups and needs a cuddle to go back to sleep, but the majority of nights she sleeps through. This is heaven for me as she was a TERRIBLE sleeper up until she dropped her day sleep. So I had 2 and a half years of dealing with a difficult sleeper - which as I am sure a lot of you are aware - its very difficult!
If on the odd occassion she has a day sleep - everything goes out the window. I actually have to limit the sleep to a power nap or she would never go to sleep in the evening. So I wake her after she has had 30 mins sleep - horrible thing to do, but saves mine and her sanity later on!
Isaac (2 and 10 months) goes to bed at 6pm. If he has a sleep during the day, regardless of it being 5 mins or 2 hours, he won't go to sleep until 9pm.
He wakes up at 4ish and comes into our bed, then sleeps until about 6 or 7am.
The time he goes to bed make absolutely no difference to the time he wakes up.
