4 month old sleeping question

in New Jersey Nesties

A goes to sleep around 7PM and wakes up once to eat and then back to sleep till around 5 or 6.  I know this is great for her age and I'm really lucky.  However, the waking up to feed her is going to be rough now that I am going back to work and I'm spoiled since L was sleeping 12 hours a night straight through by 3.5 months.  What time does your baby go to sleep at night?  I keep getting advice to try to keep her up later so that I don't have to wake up to feed her but I can't seem to get her to stay up past 7, she is exhausted by that point and just has to go to sleep.  I enjoy my free evenings so I'm OK with her going to bed at 7 but just looking to see what other babies do at this age.

Thanks

    If I remember correctly at that age J was going to bed around 6 and getting up between 11-12 to nurse (EBF) and then again around 3 or 4.  Once he hit six months and started solids I started to cut out the night feedings.

    7 sounds exactly what both my kids did at that age (and for a long time after). I wouldn't try to keep her up later if she's tired...If she's sleeping this well now, I don't think it will be more than a month before she's STTN. Hang in there!

    That sounds heavenly. We're at 9-ish here and getting up twice a night for an hour or more. Teagan was a dream, at this age it was 10-5 straight through. She didn't do 7-6 straight through until she started daycare t 5 months.

    M is going to be 5 months next week and he goes to bed at 7. It's about 50/50 as to whether or not he wakes up for a feeding or not. If so, it's usually between 1 and 3...if not, he will go to around 7. If your baby is following the pattern mine did, that night feeding might be gone soon!

    Thank you all!  Your responses are all really helpful to me.  I was trying to get a feel for the timing and where this was going although with the little ones you never know ;)  Thanks!
