What time do the babes go to bed? I’m wondering if I should make a cube of solids as an addition to bedtime routine.

The evening schedule, in theory, goes thus as we sit here at 8 months:

6:00 - B. gets home

6:30 - Dinner. The babies sit in their high chairs and eat with us. Right now they are up to 2 - 3 cubes (ounces) of solids each. F. also feeds herself slices of avocado and banana as well as her “teething biscuit”.

7:00 - B. takes the babies upstairs and plays with them in their nursery while I clean up dinner and get a baby break.

8:00 - One baby gets a bath. Then both are changed into PJs and a sleep sack and I nurse them down.

I don’t think the addition of the solids has really helped the sleeping issues (or hurt them), though I have heard that for some babies solids right before bed actually makes getting them down harder.
