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?

I was putting mine down at 11pm, used chat gpt to help me get it down to 8.30pm! You need to do it slowly, so start putting him down at 10.15, then 10, then 9.45 etc, a couple of days at each time. You also need to adjust your last nap, so make sure the last nap is at least 2 hours before bed time. Also do you pump? I like to give a bottle of BM before bed so I know how much he is getting x

Honestly unless bed time is affecting me by being too late I leave it. Until youre on 1 or 2 naps a day bed time should be later! This early bed time idea is super unrealistic for most families x

Honestly their sleep changes so much that there isnt much wrong!
With naps and wake windows for the first year bed time will seem quite late compared to what youre told it should be. But if its working for you, I'd not change a thing! I enjoyed a later bed time as it meant we could go out for dinner at a normal time, or go to a pub with family and friends for a normal evening timing!x
Yeah we've done things like that too and its been nice. Just i knkw realistically her bed time should be earlier 🫣 thank you! X
