sloppy bedtime routine

I admit it. DH and I are not consistent with a bedtime routine. We usually read a book to DS but he can sometimes continue to have energy so we let him play to burn it off and offer him a bottle as he show signs of tiredness. It always seems like others have these great routines and baby knows it's time for bed. Anyone else out there like us? A little sloppy in their routine?

We're not really consistent with bedtime but it's always between 7:30-9. It really depends on when she got up from her last nap and we look for signs of being tired and then I nurse and lay her down.

Our routine is a little sloppy. Ds goes to be anywhere between 8 and 915. He do a book, bath most nights, then nurse and bottle after nursing )I have a low supply). Ds loves book, he loves bath time and cores when we take him out of the bath and cries while drying and changing. He kinda falls asleep while nursing then takes a bottle. It's like he knows when bath time is over and gets upset. I don't know how to make bedtime more enjoyable for him.

We have a really sloppy bedtime routine....if you even want to call it a routine! 

But, we have been really lucky because our LO is a great sleeper and doesn't really need a routine to get her into sleepy mode.

Our typical night....LO eats dinner around 5:30pm.   Then she plays until around 7:15pm, then we give her a bottle and put her in the crib around 7:30pm.   

We actually tend to give her a bath in the morning before she goes to the nanny. And I've tried reading books and it's a disaster....she won't sit still and just tries to rip out the pages.
