Night time sleep

My kid is 9 weeks & his bed time starts at 7PM. He’s still waking up every 1.5-2 hours to eat, but he definitely knows when bed time starts. I always start in the nursery with some crib time + music. Then he gets changed and put in his swaddle. Then it’s time for a bottle + rocking. Takes 20-40 minutes for him to fall asleep at which point I take him into my room to sleep.
My baby wakes up every 2 or 3 hours to feed . But doesn’t like to go to sleep till 11 or 12 pm 😩😩
Mine has been skipping one feeding a night
9:30 starts bed time , feed 10pm - 11pm falls sleep for the night 4:30am -5:30am Wake up to feed 6am goes back to sleep 8:30am-9am wakes up
My sweet spot of success is 7:15-7:30 bath. Eat 7:45- 8:10. Rocking and put into bassinet around 8:20. Then may need to be soothed around 10-11 but doesn’t need to be feed til 11:50-12:30. Usually more 12:30. Then needs to be soothed around 2:20 usually she sleeps me at that point. Eats around 4:30. Wakes around 7:30-8. If I start my bath earlier things seem to be off. And there are plenty of days that is doesn’t work or she has to sleep with me and not in her bassinet because won’t go down. My biggest issue is I can get her to stay awake from 5-6:30 and if she naps too long it also throws things off.
10pm: change diaper and start last feed of the night 11pm: baby is (usually) asleep 4-5am: baby wakes up for feed 7-8am: baby is up for the day Of course the times vary slightly each night and sometimes it doesn’t go like this, but this is the majority of nights! Baby is 10 weeks!
