What time are you guys going to bed?

We go to bed at like 11ish, and baby goes same time as us so I will feed him right before lights out and he’ll go to sleep in the next to me at same time as us. But some people are putting their babies down much earlier - how and why do you do that ? Do you then go to bed that early too? What about breast feeding?

I’m having a bit of a dilemma with this haha! So my baby used to go down with us as well at about 11 or 12 which was beautiful because he wakes a lot for night feeds and it meant he woke up late in the morning so I got maximum sleep! But lately he’s been napping every 1-2 hours and usually always gets a “nap” at 7-8pm and he then sleeps for a long stretch so it’s become his new bedtime! I hate it because he’s then wide awake at like 7am and I’m so not ready to get up then but have no choice! 🫣😅 gonna have to try and push his last nap back as much as I can!

Mine has slowly been going to bed a bit earlier now, often around 8pm. Once I’ve got the toddler down I often get into bed next to her and watch TV for a bit. I do sometimes go and do some cleaning etc but I don’t like leaving her alone for too long just yet so tends to be a relatively short time then I get into bed.

What do you mean by what about breastfeeding?

My LO is struggling with a good bedtime, I'd like him to go down around 7:30 / 8pm the same as my first but he's just so tired so it ends up being 7 or just before, I put him in his grow bag, feed and then put him down. He sleeps until anywhere between 4-5am but then feeds and is down till 7/7:30am so I don't mind too much, he was doing more of a 5/6am feed which I didn't mind but 4 is too early 🫠 I think bedtimes change depending on them but it's when the 4 month regression hit with my first LO and didn't get better until we made some dramatic changes to his routine around 7 months! You will find what works for you and you'll tweak it along the way 👍🏼

My first was the same went to bed with us. She'll nap in the evening downstairs with us.
Now my second is different. He is an emotionally charged baby and gets overstimulated easily. Therefore when we do bedtime with my first we also get my second ready for bed. One parent will do the toddler, the other the newborn. So they're both asleep between 7 and 8pm. My newborn then wakes up around midnight for a feed. That's our routine atm.
Everyone is different and so is every baby. Also things really change when you have multiple children!
I don't really understand what breastfeeding has to do with it?

We're 11ish too and she wakes up for the day at 9 (with two feeds in the night) but trying to bring forwards by a few hours

My youngest (3.5M) naturally falls asleep around that time. We don't sleep train, we cosleep (with both 😁).
I mean, he stil wakes up for feed often between 11 and 12 and depending on the night he will have 1 or 2 (or 3) more feeds before 6.30/7am.
I tend to stay with my newborn in the room atm, but i have a TV there so depending on my day I go to sleep somewhere between 9 and 12 lol.

Baby doll

Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

How often are we changing sleepsuit?

If baby isn’t spitting up / having poop explosions and their sleepsuit is fine, how often are we changing them into a fresh one?

Are we changing them daily? I have been doing so but my husband thinks it’s pointless to change them into clean clothes if their outfit hasn’t got messy or dirty

Dummies

Anyone using a dummy yet for their LO?

My eldest had one until she was 2 and it was a lifesaver as she struggled to get to sleep.

Our 6 week old has been so fussy today and nothing would calm her or her her to sleep. Tried a dummy and she's definitely taken to it.

I was going to try avoid it this time round but think we may give her one for naps and sleep.

Day naps

How long and how many day naps are your babies having? Mine is 3 months now and sometimes she has 20mins , 30 mins, 40 mins or 1 h..and if very lucky..2h. Is everyone experiencing something similar ? Sometimes I think she needs more

Sleep

I know it’s highly recommended that you and your child sleep in the same room until 6 months old, but I’m just curious if many people moved their babies into their own room sooner?
