Hi, im a first time mum and my baby is 6 weeks old, i was looking for advice on getting a bed time routine, my baby usually wakes at 2 and 6 for a feed but if she has a feed about 10 pm she will go until 3.30am, i change her into her baby grow and dim the lights at 7pm but the evening is the time she is awake the most so she will cry if ahe is put down and will be awake until 10 or 11 pm x

Totally totally normal behaviour for a 6 week old. A lot of babies want to cluster feed in the evenings. They also can be extra fussy (known as the witching hours). 6 weeks is very young to have a firm routine as they are still working out day from night. Routines don't really start appearing until 3/4 month mark (some later). Sounds like you are doing great job so far of having a loose routine of jimjams on and dimmed lights at 7pm. Keep at it and you will start to find baby starts to go down easier over the next month or so.
