What time does everyone put their little ones to bed?

My daughter is nearly 4 and a half months, 6 bottles a day and she has 6oz every 4 hours roughly.

My problem is she fights her sleep and has done since birth (even though we are in the middle of the regression at the moment 🙃) she doesn't go down for the night until half 9, sometimes 10pm.

I know this is not ideal at all but my first daughter who is now 2 was such an easy baby compared to her. Once shes down for the night, she sleeps for 8/9 hours a night but getting her to go down is a nightmare

Also in the day shes a cat napper. My first daughter just went down to bed and stayed asleep

My little girl just turned 4 months and she refuses to nap during the day, we will get about 3/4 30 mins naps out of her a day , she gets 6oz every 4hours but every night I bath her for around 6/630 give her an 8oz bottle and put her down in her next to me and let her put herself to sleep. She’ll usually go to sleep around 7/730 and will sleep until 3 , she’ll wake for a bottle and then will go back over until 730/8. We have always done bath bottle bed, so I think after her bath she always knows that it’s night time and that’s when she will go to sleep for the night

Mine goes to bed same time as us so like 11ish! But we’re starting to train him now to go down at like 7.30-8ish. Just gotta be much more planned with it all

My 4 month little boy is usually ready for bed at like 6.30/7 always has been. We don't give baths every night but get him in his babygrow when he starts getting whingy and nappy change, then take him upstairs to our room with a dim light on put sleeping bag on, bottle and usually nods off about 15 mins later, wakes around mignight for a bottle. His 3 year old brother usually ends up waking him up at 6am coming into our room so he's knackered by that time, he either contact naps in the day or pram/ car seat xx

mine goes to bed for 9:30-10 sometimes even 11 on a bad night but it works for me. Shes got a long way until school for people to be using that as an excuse she gets up for 8 for a bottle then back to sleep till about 11.

Hitting himself

My 21months son started to hit himself when he got frustrated. Like when i say no to him.
He also started to hit me and pinched me when i hold him outside and someone say hi to him.
I think he got this from my autistic brother. We spent a month at my parents house. And that behaviour is what my brother was doing.

What can i do to make him stop? And what can i say to him when he do that? Without making it worse. Or should i just ignore it and he will grow out of this?

I can’t even have conversation with anyone when we were out. Because he keeps hitting my face.

Rant and rage

I'm not coping and don't feel supported in the way I need. I try and voice how I feel and I get met with silence and huffs and puffs
My son has problems feeding and gaining weight yet my mil insists on holding and comforting him rather than listening to me saying I should try feed him or change him. I get ignored. Same with my toddler she will continue to give her treats when I say no as 1 was enough and doesn't need 3 of somthing. I feel pushed out and not respected
I'm finding it hard very hard

Difficult time

No one talks about how difficult is being woken up by your toddler at 5am in the morning then trying to entertain them until a reasonable time when shops or parks open…all that while hubby sleeps in undisturbed. And yes I try to wake him up but nothing could move him from the bed.

I personally find that time of the day so difficult when baby tries their best to push boundaries 😔

No breast milk yet - what to do?

Hello, if my breast milk hasn’t come in yet and I’m struggling to get colostrum off would you recommend getting some formula to feed your baby? He is now 24 hours old. Doesn’t seem overally hungry at the moment, but I’m certain he’ll catch up!

Also, what brand of formulas are you looking at? The whole formula thing has scared me a little.

Thanks in advance xx
