Did you implement a nighttime routine straight away and if so did your little one start sleeping through before 8 weeks?

Keep seeing people say it’s just luck. I think it’s a little bit of luck but also a good solid routine.

Obviously lots of exceptions, poorly babies etc.

When they are that little they don’t have a circadian rhythm so it is luck based for sure that early on. Mine was always good a sleeping 4-6 hour stretches overnight. That was luck!

A good routine has nothing to do with whether they sleep through the night or not. There are too many other factors in play. My 2.5 year old has only started to sleep through the night now. Every baby is just different

Both of my babies had no routines but slept through from about 8 weeks. Every kid is different but we are both heavy sleepers and both kids have been, I think it’s a bit of luck and genetics.

My daughter has always had a solid routine for bedtime and we’ve always been quite strict on it.

She’s only just started sleeping through the night now at AGE FIVE. 5!!!

It’s down to the baby nothing else in my opinion 🤷🏻‍♀️

Baby sleeping

Hi mom's, how do you get your baby to sleep a full 8 or 12 hours every night, I'm suffering my baby girl only sleep for a few minutes every night, I mean she'll fall asleep at say for example 8pm and by 8:15 or before she's up again, I'm struggling really bad and I'm so tired and stressed out I need help

Feeling really disconnected from my husband…

We have a 3 year old son. When our son was a newborn my husband prioritized my MILS feelings (was afraid to be honest with her and hurt her feelings). I was recovering from a C section and she was at our house uninvited when we brought our son home. He knew she was there but didn’t call her and tell her to leave. She knew I didn’t want her there when I brought the baby home.
We invited my MIL to meet the baby in the hospital- she did. The only thing that went wrong was she told us she didn’t like the name we chose for him. Also told me not to feed our baby formula because “it’s poison”. My MIL has always been bossy- controlling, uses a lot of guilt and shame to control things. She’s tried to control how we manage finances, where we live, and now how we raise our son.
Basically since my husband didn’t prioritize my feelings as the new mother - and didn’t put us first- I’ve felt unattracted to him. I view my husband like a he’s man child. He has finally realized how difficult his mother can be. But I just have felt so unsupported by my husband and part of me just wants to get away from him. I want our relationship to work but the connection and attraction seems to have vanished. I have a fantasy of meeting a man that’s mature, emotionally intelligent, that I feel taken care of. Just venting and advice welcomed…

Do you take your kids/toddler (not an infant) out (park, grocery store etc.) in pajamas?
