Bedtime struggle

The last two weeks have been absolute HELL with bedtime! He always went to bed like a dream, but he's got into a habit of making me or dad stay in the room until he's falling asleep.
Bedtime used to be around 7-7.30 but we're now pushing 9pm 😭 is this just a stage?

I had to stop laying with my little one for this particular reason because I used to always lay with her and she used to take an hour or more to go to sleep! But one night I was unwell and put her to bed and said "mummy's got to go to her bed and sleep early now" and she ended up going to sleep a lot quicker than when I cuddled her. And it wasn't even a one off, I leave her every night now and within 20 minutes she's gone, sometimes it's even 5 minutes and it doesn't matter what time I put her to bed

shower infront of children

Is it weird to shower infront of your children, or your children see you naked?
At what age should this stop?

I’m just looking at what everyone’s thoughts are as I have a 7 month old and at the moment it’s hard for me to shower without him getting upset.

We contact nap atm, otherwise I'd shower when he sleeps!

It’s easier to bring his play mat into the bathroom whilst I shower so i can at least wash, else i have to wait for my husband to arrive home at 5/6pm.

Keen to see what people's opinions are and how other people do this!

GIRL DADS TAKING DAUGHTER TO BATHROOM IN PUBLIC

If a girl dad needs to take his daughter to the bathroom in public and there are no family bathrooms … I swear video online of a dad saying he uses the women’s bathroom but always knocks and announces ‘girl dad helping my daughter go to the bathroom’ and I love that idea and mens rooms are disgusting but wanted to see everyone’s thoughts

Dummies

What’s everyone’s views on dummies? Are you planning to use them and if so at what age ? I am breastfeeding and my midwife said to avoid them as it might effect feeding but baby is feeding really well now and he has now found his thumb to suck for comfort ! I would prefer him to use a sterilised dummy than his hands that might carry germs but he is only 3.5 weeks not sure if it’s too early ?
