Grace will be 27 weeks on Monday.
From 5 weeks until about 18 weeks, she had to be in bed asleep before 6pm as she was extremely grotty otherwise. We then had a few weeks of her not being tired until about 8pm.
She generally now has to be asleep again by about 6pm, and in fact seems to prefer a bedtime of 5.40pm randomly enough!
No matter what time she goes to bed, be it 5.30pm or 9pm, she wakes around 5.30am and I fetch her from her cot at 6am. She has her first bottle at 7am.
In a very long winded way (sorry!) I think that it would probably be best to go with the earlier bedtime, and you may hopefully find that your boys do not wake any earlier, particularly with them still being fed during the night.
I hope this helps
