Yes.
Dinner
Bath
PJs on
Bfeed
3 stories
Little bedtime rhyme (the same my mother said to me)
Bed (with mobile on).

She has her stories while my DD1 is getting her pjs on (DD1 gets in the bath once DD2 gets out) but if DD1 is ready early and joins in for them, she can get a bit excited and so doesn't go to sleep straight away. If so, and she is still awake after DD1's bedtime ritual, then she has another quick comfort feed.

DD2 is 11 months but has had the same routine since she was about 3 months (dinner part added later, obviously). The rest of our day is pretty unstructured. I had a sleep trainer com in to help me with DD1 and have kept the same schedule she set, for both girls.
