Early evening sleep?

Curious about where everyone's LO sleeps for the first part of the evening... Mine falls asleep between 7 and 8 and sleeps on one of us until we go up to bed, then he goes into his next to me after a feed and a change. Plan to keep doing this until we can leave him to sleep in separate room but worried we don't really have a bedtime routine as such. Anyone else do similar?

Sleeps on the sofa until I put him to bed in his crib upstairs with monitor on about 9-10 and then I go back up to bed later on

So we started a routine when she was 6 weeks old (bath, meal, song & bedtime) and initially she would nap on us/refuse to be put down in her cot until about 10/11. We persisted with putting her in the cot and soothing her when she would inevitably cry. It worked and now she goes to bed between 7 and 8 in her cot. Slight sleep regression aside (she’s 15 weeks old), I found that doing exactly the same sequence of events before bedtime is the only thing that worked for her. Took about 5 weeks of consistent repetitions but we got there - she started sleeping through the night at 11 weeks.

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!
