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
DD2 usualy has a bath around 5ish then has a pre bed sleep in her swing whilst we eat dinner then has a bottle around 7ish and in bed by 7.30ish
i say all this ish because if i say out loud this is our routine something will happen to throw it all out of whack
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?
