So, we had been doing the nighttime routine for about a week. The last few days, Logan had been waking up at about 5:30--a half hour earlier than normal. Also, the night before, he would take a nap after his last bottle and we would then wake him up to bathe him just to go back to bed.
After doing some reading and looking to other moms to see what they do, I decided that we needed to tweak Logan's bedtime routine. We have decided that after his last bottle--usually around 8-ish, we will draw his bath, read him his story, rock him, then put him down. We don't know what time he will get up, but he was in bed by 8:30 tonight--a full hour earlier. I hope he will sleep until 6 am, but perhaps he won't. I'll update tomorrow. I do think in the long run this is a better routine.
ETA: We've been doing the bottle after the bath. He's been doing well on that, but he has been waking up early (between 4-5:30) for his morning bottle. We don't like that. Otherwise, it's been good.
