Does bath time hype your kid up or help them get sleepy?

I swear bath time just gives my child more energy like he loves it so much he’s playing having a great time and will stay in there for over an hour easily. I have it early in our schedule because of this and have been told it should be later. But often when people talk about their kids and having bath in their wind down routine. So I just want to see roughly how common each is :) if your kid does showers instead of bath then it would be the same question but with shower

It can go either way but mainly wind down because for him it’s just part of the nightly routine and so his brain makes the association that bath = bedtime.

Mine can go either way it doesn't necessarily make her sleepy she'll still have energy lol but it does help her relax at night

We do bath in the afternoon. At bedtime I’m already hanging on by a thread. I’d lose my mind if I had to bathe them at night

Eyebrows

My little girl has quite thick eyebrows. I’ve googled it and ended up down a rabbit hole. Has anyone else’s little one got similar eyebrows?

FML this morning!!

All I want to do is leave the fucking house! My 4 year old isn't listening to a word I'm saying it literally goes over her head, my 11 day old is screaming for milk but I'm trying to make a lunchbox and pack a bag.
My partner didn't come to bed til 4.30am so he's still asleep and he sleeps like a log! I managed to do a school run for my boy this morning but this one just seems impossible 🤦🏼‍♀️ she's meant to be there at 10 and it takes 20 mins on the bus..it's now 9.58 🤦🏼‍♀️

Give me fucking strength today please 😩

Sterilising

Hi everyone,
First time mum here and just wondered at what age do you stop sterilising bottles and dummy’s etc? I’ve heard 6 months, 12 months etc just not sure what’s right 🤔

Thank you ☺️ 🩷

Sleepless baby

My little one is 4 weeks and just doesn’t want to sleep. I don’t know if it’s because he’s breastfeeding so he’s constantly on me 24/7 and I understand he’s a newborn baby but is this normal. Every time I put him down he cries and just doesn’t want to sleep all day. I’m running on about 3/4 hours of sleep a day so it’s hard getting through the day

Waxing

Just wanted to let you ladies know, deciding to get a Hollywood wax for first time ever and being 33 weeks pregnant, with hemorrhoids isn’t the best decision to make and it does in fact, hurt for a while after 😂 and can bruise 😬 it feels like a sunburn in all the wrong places 😫
