Bella will be 2 in 2 weeks. We have the same routine every night - bath at about 6.30 - she then has her second tea of what ever we are having (first tea at 5.30) then play for a while - snuggle time on the couch for 1/2 hrs with me of DH then bottle then bed (8pm) and *most* nights she will be giggling and asking to go to bed and then falls asleep in about 5-10 mins. Some nights like to night we do the same rountine and in bed at same time but tonight she was to wound up so more books were ead and in bed by 9 and now sound asleep.

She also still has a 2-3 hr sleep during the day if she doesnt then she will not sleep at night. Something I will always remember that my MCHN told me is "sleep promotes sleep" so the better she sleeps during the day the better and longer she sleeps at night...

I agree with the latter bed time - Bella used to be in bed by 6.30 but as she has gotten older then it has stretched out but generaly 8pm is a great time for her.
