    Our little man hits the hay anytime between 6 and 7pm now (at almost 1 year) and wakes between 6 and 7am. When he was brand new, he often used to be in bed at 5pm and wake quite early. He still has 1 bottle during the night. His sleeping habits have been so inconsistent and, for the first time now, I actually feel like he may be falling into a sleeping routine and keeping regular hours! We tried so hard to get him into a routine from day 1, but he was having none of it. I have concluded that different bubs have very different ideas on what is "normal"

    DS #1 was going to bed at 9am and waking between 8.30am -10am if I let him sleep that long, have started getting him to go to bed earlier around 8pm now and he wakes around 8am most morning sometimes a little earlier other days I am waking him as its after 9am he has always been a great niight sleeper

    DS #2 goes down anywhere from 6.30pm to around 8.30pm depends if he has had a late day nap...he has started to wake around 7am which is so much better than 5am

    DS goes to bed between 7 - 7:30pm and wakes at about 6:45-7am. He sleeps right through unless he's sick.

    Bed is 10pm mostly...sometimes a bit earlier is he hasn't had a nap in the afternoon. We'll be up by 9.30-10 the next morning. Works for me as I am so not a morning person

    7:45-8pm and she sleeps through to 7:30-7:45am never thought I would be able to say that, and here's hoping it lasts "touch wood"

    DD is usually in bed around 7pm-7.30pm on a normal run of the mill night (ie no dinner parties/restaurants etc).

    she sleeps through (unless unwell of course!) for 11-12 hours (so wakes anywhere from 6.45 to 7.30).

    Goodness, you ladies are getting some fabulous sleep ins!

    DS goes to bed between 6pm and 7pm most nights and is up anytime between 5am and 6.30am (mind you anything after 6am is a rarity these days). I'm so sick of getting up at the crack of dawn (well before it actually), it doesn't matter if he goes down at 5.30pm or even as late as 8pm, he still wakes up way too early!

    I aim for 7.30pm but realistically it's between 8-9pm and she's awake around 7.30 - 8am. No day sleeps.

    DS goes to bed between 8 and 9pm and is generally up between 7 and 8am. This works well for us, although sometimes I think it would be better for him to go to bed earlier so DH and I can have a little time together...

    DD bed at 6:30pm and then up anywhere between 6:30-7am. 1-2 little sleeps or one long sleep during the day.
    DS2 bed at 7pm, sometimes creeps into our bed early morning then goes back to sleep, generally up around 6ish. No sleeping during the day unless he falls asleep in the car, he has fallen sleep while eating dinner a couple of times too!
    DS1 bed at 7:30pm weeknights and 8pm weekends, up anywhere from 6am-7:30pm.

    9pm for us. Usually up around 7-8am, but if DH makes too much noise he can wake at 6am when DH gets up for work. Still has one day sleep (sometimes two if he's sick) which can be as short as two hours and as long as three and a half. I sometimes wish for an earlier bed time, but it's not possible with the length of his day sleep and the grumps if you have to wake him from his day sleep are just not worth it!

    Wow, it's reassuring to know there's such a huge range of what's "normal"! B goes to bed around 8pm and wakes from 5:15am to 7:15am, with an obvious preference on my part for the latter! His preference is for about 6:30am this week but last week was 5:30am.

    Well normal for Jazz is bed between 7.00-8.30pm, sleeps through, and wakes up between 5.00-6.30am. She also has a 1.5-2 hour nap after lunch, usually around 12 to 2.

    We don't put her to bed at a set time though, its just whenever she is ready. Some nights its not until 9-10pm (not something I'm overly happy with but meh, I'm a soft touch and can't listen to her cry), some nights she ready at 6pm.

    What time does your baby or toddler go to bed?

    DD (17mths) bed time is 7pm, sometimes a little earlier or later depending on how tired she is...

    Wakes generally around 6am... But sometimes she wakes around 4am and we change nappy and give her some warm milk and then she may sleep later...

    One day sleep, min 1hr max 2.5hrs.
