I agree Kel, I keep bedtime as routine as possible.
Even if we have friends over I still bath Indah & let her have a nude play etc, whether friends are over or not, beacuse then she gets all snuggled up & swaddled, her bottle & she then goes to bed. Most nights she is awake when going to bed, but she sings & talks but goes to sleep....
As time has progressed we bath slightly earlier & now she is pretty much in her cot by 9:15pm... So DH & I still get some trime for a cuppa & chat before we crash too...

I used to think... "let them cry, a baby cant die from crying....!"

I know now how heart breaking it is to listen to my child upset....

Sorry I have no idea who Tizzie is even...
