When do babies go to sleep earlier for the night?

I have a 3 month old that is doing really good sleeps at night for her age. She doesn’t fall asleep until 10-11pm at night and then does a good length sleep. I’m just wondering when she will go to sleep at 7-8pm at night? I’m not moaning at all, she’s doing great but would eventually like a bit of an evening before I go to sleep ☺️

When they start cutting out naps we found. So when down to two it was more 9pm and then when down to 1 it’s now 8pm.

We started a bedtime routine and putting DD down at 7pm every night at around 5 months, iirc.

For both of mine it was 4 months old. I still did a feed at 10/11pm though, just as a dreamfeed instead and continued that until about 6.5 months old and they were having solids for dinner so could get through the night without.

Interested in this thread?

I might be remembering totally wrong but I thought ours went down around 7/8pm and got up around 7am from the start. They just woke up less and less through the night until they slept through for 12 hours

Depends on the child really, DD1 was around 6 months when she was on solids and in a bit more of a routine with meals and naps.
DD was more like 3 months because she would just get cranky in the evenings and we found just putting her down for bed was better for her, I would dream feed her when I went to bed.

It depends on the child I found. DS2 would sleep from 7pm to 5am pretty much from the get go. He would then feed at 5am & go back to sleep until around 8am.

DD went from 10/11pm through to 5/6am quite quickly but took much longer to get to stay asleep any earlier (maybe 12 months).

DS1 however, was 11 years old when he first slept through the night.

Mine were all young, between 6-8 weeks.

I've had three, all went to sleep at 7pm or so at 3 months, but would still wake quite a bit throughout the night at that age. From 8/9 months they stopped waking up and would sleep 7ish until 5 or 6am.

For mine it was around 3 months.

My first got her days and nights sorted from the start and started going to sleep about 8 and then waking for a feed around 11 by a week or so. She was doing 11-6 at 6w.

Though then she stopped and she still doesn't sleep through at 8, and we can't get her to sleep until at least 10:30pm, so being great early on meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. She literally sleeps worse now than she did as a newborn 😭.

So if your little one is a good sleeper, enjoy it. It might last, it might not, but don't rock the boat!
