Charlie has always been in bed by 7 most nights unless he's had a late arvo nap...even now at almost 15months he is still in bed at that time & earlier if he's been to daycare as he only has a short nap there. Tonight he was down at 6pm no fuss....it can be done. I agree, treat the feeds after a certain time like night & it should be able to happen. If he is in bed at 6pm then is obviously tired at that time & I'm thinking only goes back at 10pm because of the nap earlier. So perhaps try treating that as night time. Give a bath etc before & perhaps dim lights etc & when he wakes treat it like a night feed & see how it goes. Just means will prob wake earlier in the morn. Though I admitt I love when our DS goes to be as we have lots of "us" time.
