Daily schedule

Hi moms!
Jsut wondering if anyone has started or done the scheduled sleeping for baby?
My baby is 5.5months and he is super cranky at night, so I am trying to get his into a schedule (wake by 7-7:30, sleep by latest 7:30pm) (according to ChatGPT lol, since he’s of the age where a scheduled day is better for him)

Not sure if this will help with his night sleep I haven’t really aced this yet ): since his naps are always short and ruins the whole “ideal schedule to avoid crank night sleep” thing .

Jsut wondering if anyone has any good experience or even if I manage to get him to a certain schedule it won’t work? Need some guidance/ experience lol

Thank youuu!

Both my boys using the above sleep 11 hiurs on a night one two one 5 months. I honestly swear by the apo

My now 6 month old started sleeping at 7/7:30pm everyday since he was 5months.. it was hard at the beginning but I stuck to it and now he’s so used to it he gets cranky when he’s not asleep at 7:30pm. Playtime, feed, Shower him, turn off all the lights, and soothe him to bed. He wakes at 12am, sometimes 2am if I’m lucky.

Our LO has had a bedtime of 7pm since 12 or 13 weeks? Up most mornings at 5am for a nappy change. Pretty much on his own rhythm for the rest of the day though, bottles are 6am, 9am, 12, 3pm and 6pm. Roughly 2 hour wake window followed by an hour nap, although we dont follow any sort of schedule or app, if he wants to be awake longer then we dont force naps.

Rock to Sleep? Or Cry to sleep?

not too long ago, my fiancé allowed our baby to cry himself to sleep because our son was tired. I entirely oppose to this way of nurture I despise it. There’s no way that these tiny creatures who were born with no coping abilities are somehow going to go to sleep with no comfort, I find it absolutely neglectful. I wanna share this topic asking for a mothers opinion as well how do you feel about the “cry it out” method does it work? Does it not? What’s your thoughts on it?

Co-sleeping and a glass of wine?

So this post I know might be a one where you will judge me, but hey I am only human.

I haven’t had any alcohol since before I was pregnant. I’m co- sleeping my 9 month old and I am quite anxious to put her in any risk.

The weather is so nice and I really fancy a nice cold glass white wine on the terrace.

I know the advice is not to drink anything and co - sleep. But my baby is good at letting me know when she is unhappy.

But what is your thoughts?

Cleaning girls privates

My baby is 3 months old, I noticed she was red in between her lady parts. Which would make sense as to why she didn’t want to be sat and kept straightening up her body ☹️ I cleaned with warm water and sudocream.

Mammas with girls, what’s the best wipes? Or do you just use warm water and a cotton pad? How do I keep her little area red free? Does she need a bigger size nappy also? Any advice welcome!

Constant crying in the mornings

Night time nappies

My LB has always been in mamia nappies but since moving him to size 4, he leaks every night and it’s starting to affect his night sleep! I’ve tried the pull up size 4 mamia and last night tried pampers but he still leaked bless him. Does anybody have any hacks please?
