4month old baby bed time!

Hi everyone,
My daughter is 4month and 1week. She started sleep the whole through night since when she was about 3month old. Yet, she started to get sleepy at 9pm and went bed about 10pm, sometimes 10:30pm and wake up at 9:30am 😩 I have to wake her up every 6hrs for feeding as HV told me to do so. is that OK? Or do you have to have a routine for baby at this age?

I'd like to put her bed around 8pm if that's possible, but DD was so happy and active at that time..

At the moment her schedule roughly like this:

Feeding then Bedtime 10-10:30pm..sometimes till 11pm 😞
Feeding 6hrs after.
Back to sleep for another 4hrs. I tried to wake her up earlier, but she's getting cranky)
Wake up-feeding-playing for 1.5hr-feeding and nap usually after 12 pm ..nap for 1hr sometimes 1.5hrs...wake up-feeding- play for at least 1.5hr-back to boobs again and having another nap probably 30mins-1hrs. Then playing around and keep have a feed every 1.5-2hrs (I assume she eats loads in the day because she didn't even bother to wake up for a feed at night...am I right????) and back to play again until 9 pm. Sometimes I bath her quite late around 8;30.

Do I need something different?? Any tips would be gratefully received! Xx

You don't need to wake her in the night now if she is gaining weight ok. If you want her in bed earlier then you may have to start waking her earlier in the morning so she is tired enough at the bedtime you want. I would move bedtime gradually if you feel you need to move it at all, as your lo is sleeping really well at the moment
