Bath + bedtime

Bit of a random one but I want to start introducing a bath into my wee ones bedtime routine, but she tends to still be napping around this time of night (7/8) and then after that I feel it’s too late to be doing a bath.

Do you wake your wee one to give them a bath, only give it if they’re awake or do you do the routine much later?

Just curious to see how everyone works it, I don’t currently have a set routine but wanting to start implementing one soon 🙂

Nighttime nappies

Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for a good nappy for nights? 3 month old is sleeping in good stretches but nappies can’t keep up. Tried Aldi and pampers and now on Sainsbury’s and they are great in day but not at night?! Thanks so much

How much sex a month?

How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

Crying before every nap

My three month old cries before every nap. He’s fine in the night when fed to sleep, but before every single day nap there is 5-25 minutes of crying. We follow wake windows as best we can but it doesn’t seem to matter whether he’s awake one hour or three hours!

Did anyone else have this, and has come out the other side?

Controlling behaviour?

If your partner didn’t force you to go to bed at a certain time, but got annoyed if you went to bed before he was ready or wanted to stay down for longer when he wants to go to bed, would that be considered controlling? Seeing as there’s no forcing involved just getting annoyed by it?

Swaddle

Hey! I’m really interested to hear people’s thoughts/experiences with swaddling for newborns? I’ve heard it’s supposed to be great to keep them relaxed etc but also was told yesterday it’s not a method that they use anymore which is completely new to me!! Any thoughts?

Sleeping through the night 10 weeks

My baby girl is sleeping from 10-5:30/6:30. Just wondering if I should let sleep I try to wake her to feed but she has no interest in feeding.

She’s also reached well above her birth weight she was born 3.2kg and is bow 5.6kg.

I’m just concerned that the GP saying to still wake her for feeds was more of a developmental reason that a weight reason.

Has anyone else experienced this?
