No Success at Bedtime

My son is 2 months adjusted, 5 months regular age.  We've tried the whole bath, bottle, bed routine thing but it doesn't work.  Afterwards he is wide awake until midnight.  Does any one have any suggestions?  TIA

    White noise machine? Pacifier? Moving the bath earlier if it's too stimulating for him? Just some suggestions without knowing the rest of his day/routine....

    Thanks.  We did get rid of the bath.  He tends to get up about 6/7 in the morning, eat, then sometimes take a nap.  He eats every 3 hours during the day and sometimes he's awake between meals and usually he naps an hour to 2 between feedings.  I tried to keep him up but he just ignores me and sleeps on. :P  We've tried music and a sound machine so far.

    What about black out curtains in the bedroom? DD sleeps much better when it's dark- especially with the longer days coming.

    I'm not sure what else to suggest b/c my DS just fell into a routine very easy. I would suggest the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.
