The only challenge with doing it closer to bedtime is I would have to switch things around and do it after the bath, and I'm hesitant to switch our routine around as they're pretty good night sleepers. I think I'm going to start serving dinner a little earlier, but I really don't know what do do about that late afternoon BF. It's so close to dinner these days, it's hard to BF just before dinner and then just after as well...
