What time do you put your babies to bed?

Question

And how do you mark the transition between day sleep and night sleep?

Answer

At 10-10:30 we go to the bedroom, change her diaper, put her in her swaddle/sleep sac, I put a heat pad in her bassinet so it’s nice and warm, turn on the fan for white noise, nurse her til she falls asleep (by this time it’s for sure 11-11:30) put her in the bassinet then I get to sleep. She usually wakes at 3:30 for about an hour to change diaper and nurse, then back to sleep again til 7ish and 9 is wake up time.

Having a solid routine is great, but remember if they are really little they won't have the ability to stick to a routine. So early on, its just practice :) 
Our girl spends the day hours in a 3 hour rotation of eat, play, sleep. Eating every 3 hours ish, and napping anywhere from 20 min to 2 hours. We are up getting dressed and changed at 7am, spend all day except for naps in the sunny parts of the house. All naps she gets swaddled and put in the nursery crib where its darker, but not pitch black. At night, we start winding down around 8pm, with playtime being more relaxing, some days its bath time, some days we just rock and sing. By 9pm shes dressed in her jammies and starting to drift off. So we set her in the bassinet in our room where she sleeps until we come in for the night. By then its about 10, so we give her a little dream feed, and she sleeps until about 1 or 2, then wqkea again around 5. 
Shes 3 weeks old and even though we're flexible with the idea of a "schedule," this is the pattern she has already fallen into with us practicing the idea of a schedule from day 1.

I admire moms who have a routine. Baby boy is number 3 so our schedule varies and I feel like I don’t pay much attention to the time until it’s bedtime. I guess our bedtime routine starts at around 8. We get brother and sister showered. Sometimes baby gets a bath at the same time but not everyday. So actually bedtime is anywhere from 9-10:30. 
It doesn’t get dark here until about 8:30ish 🙄🙄 I can’t wait for daylight savings time to end lol

Answer

I don't necessarily have a time. I'll generally feed him around 7. He finishes around 8, then I put my two toddlers to bed. When I come out from putting them to bed, I clean the house, take a bath, then feed the baby and change him for bed. That's normally around 10 or 11. 
I don't really distinguish between day and night feeds. He won't wake to eat by himself, so I have to wake him every 2-3 hours (day and night) or he will sleep 7-9 hours straight.

Answer

Having a solid bedtime routine is key, we do bath then go into my room (where he sleeps) to get him ready, diaper lotion owlet sock, jammies and swaddle, feed, turn white noise on and turn the lights off, binky , rock, lay down still awake. He goes to sleep around 8 right now but that will move up in the next few weeks when he gets regulated on his schedule to between 630-7

Answer

Currently we go up to bed around 10pm. That’s when we put her in pjs and start feedings in the bedroom and have her sleep in the bassinet. We have a nightlight and play white noise. 
At 8am we start to head downstairs (get dressed and everything). 
She’s 2 weeks old and sleeps all day and night. But so far hasn’t been wide awake at night with this setup.
