I totally disagree with you Krishnan. I have been following the above routine now for 7 months and my baby goes to sleep by around 8:00 pm or maximum 8:30 pm in the night. We get apprx 2 hrs for us to wind off days work, spend some time together, read etc after she goes to sleep. The greatest problem in India is lack of discipline to follow a routine everyday. Even I failed to maintain this routine when on vacation in India. But now that Im back to my usual life in UK, everything has fallen into its place. A routine is MUST for babies to go to sleep at proper time.
