Bella is a bit younger but we have a bed routin.
At about 4.30 I start to wind her down a bit - by taking her into our room and just playing on the bed and just relaxing. Then we go outside and wait for DH to get home. Bella then has a play with DH before he gives her her bath. After her bath she gets in her PJ's and sleeping bag and gets put down on the floor with her toys while I get her bottle ready. Then at 6.30 in the dot we sit on the couch and give her her bottle and she usually falls asleep while drinking but if not its some cuddles and then to bed for the night.

Sorry prob no help!!
