Do you go to bed when baby does?

I still do for the most part. LO is 9 weeks old and goes down around 88:30 then gets up around 2:30ish typically then up again at 5 or 6. DH has been understanding but I'm sure would love if I stayed up until 10. Just curious what others are doing.

With DS1, I would go to bed when he went to bed (since he would wake every 2 hours to nurse)... which was around 8pm.

With DS2, I go to bed at a "normal" time- like 11pm... he goes down around 8:30pm and is up between 1:30am and 4am (depending)- and then every 2-3 hours after that.

As much as I SHOULD want that extra sleep, the "me" time is more important for me and DH right now...

I believe in sleep, but I believe in relaxing for a little too. My FB is 2, and goes to bed at 8 every night, my newest addition is only 6 days old, and I have gotten her to go to sleep around 9 every night, but I spend an hour to myself to relax. Do what works best for you!

Yes! I dont sleep when she does during the day but definitely at night.
During the week, my 6yr old ds goes to bed at 8:30 and my 6wk dd goes to sleep around 11. On weekends, ds goes to bed around 10 and dd around 11. Once she is asleep then it's my turn.

I usually don't. I put them down around 8:30. DH gets home around 10 so I like to stay up and chat with him and what not. My normal bedtime is 11, then up again between 3 and 4.

I often go to bed before her! We're lucky if she gets to bed by 10:00, it's usually closer to 11:00. MH takes care of getting her to bed, and I try to be in bed by 9:00, 9:30. I'm able to get a little extra sleep before her 1st wake up!

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Usually bath nights I don't cuz I like to get cleaned up downstairs before coming to bed, so I have my me time and go to bed a little later. If we have had a rough day, I say screw it and go to bed too. Sometimes I'll watch some
Netflix on my phone in bed first. It really does depend on the day we have had.

I'm up for 1 to 2 hrs afterwards. He goes down between 630 and 730 and I go to bed between 8:30 and 9:15. Sometimes I have to make myself even if I don't feel tired right that moment and would rather hang out with DH. I use that time to eat dinner, unwind, respond to email and read magazines and then get ready for bed maybe take a shower if I didn't get one that day.

DD (2) goes to bed at 8, DS (2weeks) usually passes out around 830-9. I will take that extra hour to hang out with DH. but by 10 im done. and yes i will take a quick nap during the day with the kids.

We don't. DH works until at least 6-7 weeknights and the only alone time we get is after we put him down. He goes down for the night between 9-10.

I'm really bad about going to bed at a good time. We put DS down at 9 and DD down at 10. I usually go to bed around 12 just because I like having quiet time to myself for a couple hours. She wakes up around 5 or 6. I nurse her and she goes back down until around 8 which is when DS wakes up.

I do.  We start bed time around 9:30 or 10, but he usually isn't completely asleep until around 11:30 or 12.  I go to bed as soon as he is fully asleep.

No, I don't. Like some of the others have said, I enjoy the "me" time, and also enjoy spending time alone with DH. My LO is 8 weeks and still has a sporadic bedtime as of yet (we are trying to settle that down). But the last couple days, she will go down about 9, and I don't go up to bed until 10 or 11.

I know I should probably go to sleep when she does but I don't unless it's small naps during the day. I am one of those people that only needs about 4-5 hours of sleep so the way DD is sleeping now works right into my schedule. I am a night owl so when she gets up around midnight to eat then I end up going to bed after I feed and change her.

DH is the exact opposite of me and needs 8 hours of sleep so with her getting up throughout the night his sleep has been interrupted. This past week he has been in bed at like 9:30 because he is so tired.
