2.5 year old... 7:30 to 8ish. We recently got back from India, there were a couple of days when she was up till 9/10... wasn't necessarily fussy but it was a little tough to get her down to sleep once we got back home as she was overtired. Our return flight was at 2am, she was up the whole time 😓 but was knocked out as soon as we boarded and slept for a good 8 hour period. We try to stick to her bed time most days but don't stress too much about about a couple of days here and there (especially when we travel)
11 month old and bedtime has been 7:30-8:00 since he was 4 months old. He wakes up at 7:30am no matter how late he sleeps. At this age he needs 11 hours minimum so putting him to bed later means his needs are not met. We choose to prioritize his needs over ours. We are currently spending 2 months in India (we are from Bombay) and people think we are crazy. Kids don’t sleep till as late as 11 pm or 1 am. I saw a 6 month old at a cocktail party at a club until 3 am.
Do what works for your family. A lot of people won’t agree with a lot of your parenting decisions. It’s not your job to explain your parenting decisions to others.
1AM is like next day! Wow! My toddler also will wake up at 6 AM no matter when he sleep so we try to put him to put early to give him time to get enough rest.
8pm during weekdays.
Relax it a bit to 9pm or so on weekends - mostly because they also get up an hour or so later on weekend.
Kids are 6 and 8 now, but this has been their schedule last 3 years or so.
9 pm. 2 boys. 7 and 3
10 pm 30 m twins. They also take a nap for an hour in the day. We go to all events until 8.30 :)

8:30 PM in bed for our 1 year old. He takes a nap from 4-5 so it’s not possible to put him to sleep before that. But good thing is that he sleeps till 8 am in the morning. We do not worry too much if the boy stays awake till 10ish if we are out at someone’s home but such a late night has happened only once every 2-3 months. If we go out for dinner etc., we come back home on time to stick to his schedule. Routine works for him and for us.
3 & 8 - They start winding down by 830/9 don't actually fall asleep until 930.
Never really gave a hoot what others have said but we get a ton of unsolicited advice. We're both non-confrontational so we just smile and say "oh that's great, we should try it next time" and move on.
Our 1 year old sleeps at around 11:30 PM. Wakes up late as well. That schedule works for us since we are both not morning people. Also gives us time to get some work done before the kid wakes up.
There is no right or wrong answer here as long as the kid is getting enough sleep and is able to make it school/daycare on time. Ours keeps changing - my 4 yo mostly sleeps at 8pm vs 11pm when he naps during the day. So when we have a evening social event, we encourage him to nap during the day and that works great for us!
24 month old sleeps at 12 midnight on a good day. Works for us, don’t take any BS advice from anyone!
OP, same boat with a 23 month old. Bed time between 7-8 depending on when the nap at daycare was. Solid 11-12 hours sleep. On this schedule since 4 months age. We did go to other's houses but only if we could stay for the night and use a room to put the kid to sleep. If not, we go for a bit and only one stays back. Don't bother with the hate. Good friends will understand, terrible friends will hate and they can go get oil.
9 to 10pm is bed time. Exceptions if there is a dawat, dinner, etc at friends which usually are weekends so i can bear with any deviation to next day plans. Kids 3 and 6.
