Little girl desperate for bedtime

What time is everyone doing bedtime?

my little girl literally loses her shit if she’s not asleep by about 6.30pm latest with a bottle at 6pm. My husband has a desk set up in our bedroom and often has calls with the US that go on until 6.30… I have to kick him out so I can put her to bed and then he doesn’t get to spend any time with her 🤦🏼‍♀️

I would hold her until he’s done with work but I have a 3 year old son as well and he demands a lot of attention after a day at pre school which is fair enough!

Anyone else in the same boat? I see so many people doing bedtimes at 9 or 10pm and a nap at 6pm ish, but my girl will sleep through to maybe 3/4am for milk and then back until 6am, so she’s clearly wanting an early bedtime!

I feel like an idiot writing this, I’m not trying to brag, I know it’s a ‘good problem’ to have and could be a lot worse. For the record, my son was an awful sleeper, still is, so it’s not all great 😂 I just feel like it’s such an early bedtime and could be really limiting especially with the nice long summer evenings coming up…

My daughter is the same. If she’s not bathed by 6:45, she loses her shit 😂😂 she’s usually in bed asleep by half7/8. Sleeps through to around 4, feeds back down till 6/6:30. Some night my husband has to work till 8 so I can understand how it feels when they don’t get any time with them. Our naps during the day can be so hit & miss so keeping her bedtime as normal as possible 😂😂

My baby starts winding down at 4pm. She’s grizzly by 5/6pm and wants quiet by 8pm. I start winding down at the same time now 🤣

I have 4 month old twins and a 2 year old who all have bath time at 6pm followed by bottle and bed, usually all asleep by 7ish. It seems so early especially with these light evenings 🥹

my little boy he goes at 5 pm ..but he wakes thou every 2,3 hours for bottle

My 4 month old daughter is the same, by 8pm she wants me and her to lay in bed and feed to sleep or she shows us who's the boss 🤣 so hard when I have a 6 year old and a 21 month old

My LO is the same, has a decent 2-3 hour sleep around 4pm, then will literally only be awake a matter of an hour tops and is ready for his night sleep...daytime naps are a struggle unless he is on me but we are so far 50 mins in his next to me as he fell asleep straight after bottle, this never happens

My son is exactly the same, he is desperate for his bedtime! We ended up buying a monitor so we don’t disturb him because he was so unhappy sleeping with us downstairs, now he has a proper bedtime routine because he really needed it

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
