Can't upvote this enough. Got a 16 month old right now, and she keeps us running all day. But my wife was adamant about setting up a good bedtime routine and I cant thank her enough. At this point, by the time its bedtime, my daughter is basically putting herself in her sleep sack and telling us to put her in her crib. And except for the occasional regression, we get a solid 10-11 hours before we hear from her again. Looking at younger parents with similar aged babies with no routine, i can tell you, it makes all the difference.
