    Now that DD is on solids I give her dinner about 5/5.30, bath after that at about 6, night time bottle at 7 and then into her grobag, say goodnight and into bed at 7.30. There is some playing in between though and she hangs around while I get dinner ready, the whole dinner/bath/bed thing doesn't take very long for us so I have to try and spread it out!

    My boy has a fruit snack at 3:30pm, we then I have a bath together at 4pm (to wash off fruit snack that he is invariably wearing!). I give him his solids at 5pm. He then has a little play/digest until 6pm. Then I pop him in his Grobag, give him his bottle and a cuddle and then bed by about 6:15. If he is super tired, we sometimes move the routine forward by a half hour.

    ETA: It is really early and often means we don't get to go out in the afternoon, but it is what he has chosen and we are working with that

    umm when he was your bubs age, we did the 'routine' thang around 6ish....but he wouldn't go to bed until after 11pm usually.

    Thankfully around 1 that changed and he's knackered by 6 so we start at 5 with a bath, have dinner and a feed and put him to bed.

    I can't remember what we did at your bubs age, I really just went with the flow.

    Now we give DS dinner at 5ish, then bath, sleeping bag at 6ish, brush teeth, read a book, then loooong feed until about 8pm then when he's fully (he's normally dream feeding by 6:30ish) asleep put him to bed.

    We didn't really have a routine at all until we started solids, we just went with the flow and followed DS's cues. I just cant seem to run on a timetable, it (time) always gets away from me somehow Solids REALLY helped with that though. Once we had set times for breakfast, lunch and dinner everything else just fell into place.

    ETA - HTH, not sure if that's what you were looking for?
