Bec she often naps 1:30 - 3 (or 3:30 if i am blessed every so often) but as long as she sleeps to at least 2:45-3pm i know i can stick to my routine which is
5-5:30 dinner solids
6ish alex watches a DVD or plays and liv hangs with her
6:30 or so Dh offers her some of the bottle while i run their bath
6:45 or so girls bath time
7-7:10 Liv out of bath and Dh creams her up and gets her ready for bed and gives rest of bottle
in bed between 7:15-7:30
this has been her evening routine for months now - the difference is that now she copes better with 4+ hrs awake at the end - although she is sometimes cranky from 6:30 but we just get her in bath asap and the bottle is what she is loooking for anyway (we have almost always done bottle/bath/bottle i find it takes the edge off so she enjoys her bath instead of grumbling because she wants the bottle) if she seems tired/rubs eyes in the bath we cut her time in their short and push up bedtime closer to 7 HTH
