How are other working parents handling the dinner, bath, bed routine??
My son has just dropped his last day nap meaning he’s now needing to go to bed around 7pm instead of his usual 8.30pm
I have two nights per week I work until 7.30pm and not only will he not fall asleep without me but both my mum and my in laws who babysit these two nights really struggle to get through the dinner, bath, bed routine with both kids (they’re also too scared to give my 7 month old any solids)
Were really lost as to how we navigate this transition

We just go with the flow. Follow his cues but also bub fits into your life, not always the other way round. Bit a bad thing because all they will remember is that you were there for bedtime, whatever time that is

Dinner, then time for digestion ...play and movement. Then bath, last drink, milk, like bottle or sippy cup. Brush teeth. Read books. Light off. A little story or stars and sleep. But with the earlier time, I'm no help. I'm struggling with it myself.
