I just put mine to bed when i go to bed!
I Usually try to fit it in with his last feed of the day which has been around 11 lately- he is 8 weeks old!

Same as above, generally when I go to bed although my partner and I are trialling out a new schedule where he is lead parent 20:00 until 00:30 and then I take over (other than feeds as ebf), but my little one generally sleeps alright in the late evening so I tend to bring him up to our room with me by around 22:00. For me I think about when I would like to help him to understand nighttime is for future when we are implementing more of a routine, and then from that point he is in bed, I try to keep it darker, and noise quieter and then similar for wake up time, from maybe 08:00 bringing him downstairs to his other crib where it is lighter and I do things around him and don't worry about making noise (if that makes sense)

Did the sleep trend change while i wasnt looking?

From my perspective, 4-5 years ago everyone was all about schedules and structures and Moms On Call and ferber method sleep training. As soon as my son was born early 2025, it felt like a huge shift in attitude. People were horrified / thought we were idiots for being on a schedule, i have been insulted for not baby wearing, and i have been talked to by MANY people like im a neglegent mother for rarely contact napping or bed sharing or when we started ferber.

Judge away if you must, maybe its always been this way, but it really feels like there was a huge shift in how we mamage contact and sleep.

Tantrums ( terrible 1s)

Hey ladys

What are we doing about tantrums? I have 18 month old twins and if its not one its the other. I do my best to give them what they need and want, Iv been told to stay calm, ignore them, give them a toy. And most of the time, all their needs will be met. Does anyone have any hacks I can try? And will this every go away?

Day naps

Where do I put my little one to sleep in the day? He’s almost 4 months & outgrown the Moses basket which I had downstairs, but I’m told I can’t put him in a room without me during the day

Transition from next to me cot to bedroom

So my little one is 4 months, and she’s a big girl! She’s starting to outgrow her next to me but I’m worried she’s too little to be in her own room yet (tbh it’s more I’m not ready yet) but when did you guys move baby to their own room and how did the transition go?
