It really depends on the parent, and how you want your "routine" to go. I prefer not to be up at the crack of dawn with my child, i am not a morning person, and neither is my husband. We put our daughter to bed at 9pm. We get her ready at 8:30pm for a short routine, i do baths in the morning, and she is asleep by 9:30 and we are completely flexible in our routine if she is tired before then she asks us to go to bed, even at one year this worked well as she would walk into her room when she was tired. Our routine has been like this since 4 months old. My daughter is now almost 2. As i said she is asleep by 9:30pm and wakes up at 8:15am so she gets close to 11hours of sleep. And usually has an hour to hour and a half nap during the daytime.
