Bottle is the last of our bedtime routine. It also take us about 45 min- 1 hour.

We nurse, yes, but B is a super-fast eater. We do dim lights, change diaper, PJs, nurse (& change again if necessary!), sleeping bag, then story. No bath because it's just too time consuming.

Yep, we still do a bottle at 16 months. Though she's becoming less as less interested in it the past week or so

Not your question, but have you tried a faster flow nipple?

But yes, we do a bottle. LO is 8 months and her bedtime routine is bath (every other night) then diaper change, pjs, bottle, then (bc we have to hold upright for reflux) 15 min of reading books, into sleep sack, and then a song and put down. It takes 30-40 minutes, but LO is a fast drinker (sized up to level 4 nipples otherwise she gets bored and she eats 8-9 oz in about 5-8 min)

Until about 10 months, she nursed to sleep. I know for some it's not ideal, but it worked well for us!

My LO is 4.5 months and I nurse him as part of our bedtime routine. Our routine is: book if he's not too cranky, bath every other night, diaper change, PJs, nurse, put in his crib, one song. He is a slow eater and usually nurses for about 35 minutes. On non-bath nights the routine takes about 40-45 minutes; bath nights are closer to 50-60 minutes.

Nursing is the last part of the routine at 3.5 months. He often falls asleep, but continues to eat. If I pull him off prior to his being done, he'll wake up and want more food. He usually wakes up when I put him into the crib as well, but then he falls asleep quickly.
