We take ours when we go to bed, which at the moment is anything from 8pm lol! As for routine when we have a gap we try to do bath, bottle and bed but otherwise we just slot in with nappy change and bottle and sleep when settling him down

At the moment I just put mine to bed when she's finished her hours of cluster feeding 🫠. It's normally about 11:30, but if she finished at 8 I'd be putting her down and going to bed then. I change her nappy when we're nearing the last stint. At the moment she wears sleepsuits all of the time, so I just change her when needed, not specifically for bed.

Our little one goes to bed whenever he wakes up for his feed.
I do then change his clothes into pjs and change his nappy. There is no set time but I think it's anytime between 10 and 12.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
