I'm going to do it!!

Anyone who has read my previous threads will have seen my internal struggle with my 20wk old not having a bedtime. My Dh works alternate day/night shifts & we have always let her fall asleep feeding, then put her in her cot when we go up to bed, & I have fed her again if she woke.

But in 3 weeks my parents are having her for the day as we're off to the grand prix at Silverstone & whilst we'll hopefully be back late evening I would prefer her to have a time that I can say to them is her bedtime. Plus, I'm sick of the HVs telling me off because she doesn't have a bedtime.

So... When should her bedtime be? She generally has a 20min nap at 6ish, can anyone suggest the gap before bedtime? And any other advice, I'm scared & home alone this week!

Omg! Been trying for 'bedtime' for ages!! Getting one with 4hr not 3hr feeds weirdly enough!! But reflux flares and most of feeds back up

Anywhere between 6-8pm I've read? How long are lo's awake times during rest of the day?

My lo is 21 weeks and he has been going to bed at 7.30 since 6 weeks but im a very rutined person. I try not to keep him awake more than 2 hours at a time or he gets grumpy!
So he has his 3rd nap at 4/4.30 until 5.30/6 then bed by 7.30 after a bottle at 6 then abath at 7.
