Trying to get baby to settle earlier at night

[mower]

Wondered if anyone had any tips for me. Ds2 10 weeks old exclusively breast fed.

I'm wanting to get him to settle around 730pm every night so me and dh have an evening, but he won't.

We give him a bath every night at 7pm then I get him ready for bed and feed him. He then sleeps from around 730pm to 8pm then he is awake till at least 930pm then will nap a bit and keep waking up for feeds till 11ish.

He then goes 7 hours and when he wakes around 6am goes straight back to sleep after a short feed.

Anyone got any ideas how I can settle him earlier?

i tried giving my ds his dummy or cuddling him instead of feeding him and would often fall asleep without a feed and if he really needed it then he would let me know! I think that if you stick to your routine that you have now, and maybe not feed him when he wakes after his little nap from 7.30 -8pm and try and get him to settle without a feed, then maybe dream feed him at 10pm. I done this with my ds and gradually I could stop the dream feed and he now sleeps from 7.30 - 5am and then back off again until 8am!
