Hi all - our baby boy is now 8 weeks old and currently goes to bed at the same time as us (about 9.30/10ish). Has anyone started putting their babies down earlier for ‘bedtime’? When should I be starting to do that - now? Thank you!

My boy started around 9 weeks to get tired earlier and now at 11 weeks its 8-8.30 but he wants it not us so i would say just go with his body clock and will get tired earlier.. though could be i was just lucky so dont have to listen to me 🙈

I read that baby’s don’t really get to grips with routines until around 4 months so we will be following her lead until around then

Ours falls asleep usually around 9pm. I usually sleep quickly after because that's when she sleeps her longest stretch. She is leading the way at the moment tbh though, I don't think we could change her bedtime if we wanted to! 😅

We've been putting our little one to bed between 7-8.30pm since about 5 weeks old, he's now 8 weeks old. We tend to take him up when he is due a bottle x

Our 6 week old and us go to bed at same time, after her final feed around 8-9pm and lights out around 9-9.30pm.

My baby is 10 weeks, and his bedtime seems to be moving earlier every few days. He’s now between 7:30/8pm then will sleep until 8am with 1 or two wakes in the night x
