DS is 6mo, and has always had a bath before bed since the early weeks. He has quiet time from around 4.30 onwards, a walk or upstairs gentle activity. DH home 5.30, goes up with DS, bath around 5.45 - 6pm, followed by feed and bed (cot), generally asleep between 7 - 7.30. However the last couple of weeks it's started to be a nightmare. DS cries from around 5.30, usually cries in the bath and when getting out (previously loved it) and won't calm down until feeding, or I generally go upstairs and help out.
We've tried shifting the times, but don't feel we can start any earlier, and he tends to get a second wind after his feed and can be awake for another hour or so after that some nights. Have I totally got his times wrong and need to adjust them do you think? if so, any suggestions??? - he wakes a few times at night still. His naps tend to be 9-10am and 12ish - 2pm, give or take half an hour or so. But they've not been great the last few weeks either. Has anybody else found problems at this stage? any suggestions gratefully received! TIA
