My LO is almost 11 weeks and I was just wondering what time everyone is putting their babies to bed. Online it says bedtime should be anywhere between 7-9pm but if he goes to bed it means I have to go up to bed with him as obviously can’t leave him alone. At the moment we go up to bed anywhere between 8-11pm just depends on when he will need the next feed and I do that before bedtime sleep. If I let him go to sleep for ‘bedtime’ downstairs at say 8pm and I was to go to bed at 10pm I think it would wake him up me taking him upstairs. The sooner we fall into some sort or routine the better I think!

We put ours down to sleep between 7/7:30 then wake her by bringing her upstairs to change nappy ect and feed her at 10:00 then she goes back down to sleep. Doesn’t wake for a feed anymore but will wake and shuffle around but a dummy normally resettles her then I have her up between 6/6:30am

What if you had a monitor then you could leave them alone in cot and you go downstairs?

There is no “should”s, each baby and each family is different. You cannot try to copy a schedule found online word by word / minute by minute or compare other babies with yours (even if they’re the same age). Follow your baby’s cues and if you’re not already doing so track them in an app. I didn’t impose any bed time but looking at the stats in the app I noticed my baby goes down for the night sleep around 10-10:30. Let your baby lead you.

We take ours up at 8pm but doesn’t settle really till 9pm x

Mine still just comes up
With me when I go to bed at 10’ish. But she’s getting a bit Mardy in the eves so think she wants to go to bed earlier 🥴

Similar to Mel really, she sleeps downstairs from around half seven till around half 9/10 then we go upstairs and she usually doesn’t really wake up, just stirs a bit, but we change her and I feed her then she is down for the night, has another feed usually between 3 and 4, then back to sleep until 7/7:30.
