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?

Would it bother you? Hubby never finishes.

So my husband doesn't finish. Not for birth control but he just doesn't finish, he says he can go a really long time before actually finishing. He can finish as we have a child together.

It's never bothered me enough to cause serious problems in our relationship. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough in bed? He says he just gets tired. I've only ever been with two guys, my ex and hubby and my ex never had an issue with it. Hubby says he likes it and we have a healthy sex life as in we have sex regularly.

Just wondered if it would bother you or am I overthinking it?

Nappies?

What nappies are u using size 1s ?
I’m finding pampers and Aldi are leaking most of the time 😢

4.5 week old constantly crying

Does anyone else’s baby just seem to do nothing but cry?!! I’m exclusively BF my little one and baby did used to cry but not like this! Over the last week or so baby has stopped falling asleep at the breast and is wide awake after feeds - it looks something like - wake up crying, feed (can be fussy pulling on and off breast and needing to be put back on as still showing hunger cues, either scream straight after and be awake but somewhat content for ten mins, then scream again, baby will eventually fall asleep but for varying durations of time (5mins to 1.5hrs)

Any solidarity or words of wisdom??!! I feel numb and guilty for not enjoying this part of my baby’s life💔

Crawling

Is your little one crawling? My little girl is so close

Anyone know when the newborn insert can be removed from this seat? The booklet is absolutely useless.

Seat previously used for my son but he was over one when it was purchased so newborn insert was never used.

No kissing

Those of you who didn't let anyone kiss your babies, when did you start to let them?

I've had a no kissing rule since my LG was born, which was fine at the start but there have been a few incidents lately where her grandparents have kissed her where we have had to say something. One of these incidents she ended up in hospital with bronchiolitis and the other grandparent suffers from cold sores so I'm uncomfortable with her ever kissing my LG if I'm honest.

I just want to protect her but my partner thinks there needs to be a cut off point where we say it's ok.
