Yeah, I could do that with the bedtime routine, totally. Bringing it forward shouldn't be an issue either. I usually get us started around 6pm so could start things earlier.

During the day I close the blinds, and we both lie on the bed and I feed her to sleep - then I transfer her to the cot (which is side car joined to our bed). It's been working this way for almost 8 months really!

The wee sausage loves to keep me on my toes!
