My DS is 10 months old, so is into everything, cruising along furniture, dancing, crawling and everything is very exciting or him - he is super energetic and a very happy baby generally, but he is knackered really early in the evening. For the past few weeks, he has been fast asleep most nights at 530pm. I am in Australia, so its still light then. he wakes at around 5am, and has two oone hour naps during the day.
I just feel like it's too early! But he always starts to get tired at around 430, so I give him his dinner and a bath at five-ish (he crawls to the bathroom door and sits there lokoing at me expectantly!!) then after his post-bath bottle, he is asleep. I feel mean rousing him, but I just feel I would like him to have a bit of a later bedtime - even 6pm!
My DH and I both work from home, so there isn't an issue about him not seeing DS or anything, so should I just leave it? Just hoping for some tips or reassurance that this is ok really!
