Juggling bed time

I have a toddler and a soon to be 5 month old, who i am aiming to get into a good bedtime routine once they go in to their own room around 6 months.

With those of you who have similar ages how do you manage bed time?

I am a single mum so no one to help with the other child so any tips or routines are helpful!

I was advised to do the easy one first. I have a 4.5yo and just turned 1yo - so our routine is joint bath. Get both into pjs and do stories in 4yo's room. Tuck 4yo i and turn out light, she might then listen to her yoto for a bit. Do final bottle/milk with baby, put baby down.

ETA - I should say that my 4yo goes down really easily and doesn't get up once she's in bed which is why she's first.
