All my friends with babies the same age (16 weeks) put theirs to bed around 7pm and then wake them up for their last feed. I have tried this recently but mine ends up screaming until I can't take it anymore and have to pick her up. I have managed to get her to sleep at 7.30 once but I think this was more due to luck than judgement.
The problem I have with day naps is that my husband works nights and she doesn't have her own room so I have to just let her go to sleep in the bouncer in the living room during the day and the naps are never at the same time every day or for the same length of time.
I have read about bed time routines like bath, feed, bed but I am going back to work soon and don't know how practical it would be as I would end up eating really late and not getting any time to myself.
