Yes unless you want to wake up at 5:30AM

The general rule is anything before 6pm is too early regardless of age. An 11 month old will typically sleep around 12 hours at night so like Kelsey says, a 5:30pm bedtime will typically result in a very early rise x

Group hopping- My 7 month old goes to bed between 6-6.30. She wakes up around 5.30 but that works for us and our daily lives x

Is there a reason why you're wanting to do such an early bedtime?
I think if we knew the structure of your day and nap set up etc we could advise more

I also have a 4 year old and 11 month old and we do bed time between 7&7:30. My 4 yo starts the day at around 6/6:30. My 11 month old has her last nap in the afternoon waking up at about 4 so then she’s ready to go to bed at the same time.

Car seats

I’m so sorry if this is a stupid question but I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby. What happens with car seats in the back of the car? My other two are still in car seats they are nearly 4 & 2? Where will the new born car seat go? Am I being stupid?🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😂

Advice needed

I keep waking up feeling like a bad mum!
My boy is 13 weeks old, for the last few nights he’s started stirring so I’ve popped his dummy in and he’s gone to sleep. This has resulted in me feeding him at about 4/5am after his last feed at 9/9.30pm. After that feed he won’t wake up fully (just stir and I pop dummy in until about 9/9.30am) I’m not questioning whether if I’m starving him through the night! Should I give him the dummy when he stirs or should I be offering him a feed?
Would he settle with a dummy and go back to sleep if he was actually hungry? As I know through the day when he’s hungry nothing settles him other than the feed so sometimes I have to feed him earlier than the 3 hours he usually goes.
Through the day he’s having about 6 feeds and he’ll take 160ml-170ml each feed. Is this enough to sustain such long gaps through the night? He appears to be gaining weight well , hes fit in 3-6months since bang on 12 weeks and he’s a very happy baby when he’s awake.

Visitors of newborn.

I’m feeling a bit anxious about having visitors after I get home from having my baby. I know a baby’s immune system is immature for the first 2 months of life and don’t want her to get any germs.

I am worried about family members turning up and not telling me their poorly like got a cough or viral thing. My question is has anyone ever visited your home and been poorly?
