Bed time.

What times does your little ones go to bed? What time do you start your bedtime routine? We had an NHS Sleep consultant today as we are still rocking with our boy to sleep and we really want to help him fall asleep on his own and they suggested an 8pm bedtime. But I feel that’s so late. I can post the suggested bedtime in the comments if anyone is interested.

Between 6-7pm and falls sleeps until 6-7am x

Bedtime for my little girl is around 7pm. She sleeps around 12 hours overnight - give or take. We’ve been lucky in that I have never had to rock her to sleep.

Did need to rock my 6 year old though so I feel your pain. Good luck x

My LO will usually ask for his milk around 6:30pm. Once he's drank what he wants he'll sometimes have a play or ask for a book. He will ask for bed when he's ready usually 7pm. If he doesn't ask we go at 7:15. We get ready which is nappy, pyjamas, teeth, moisturiser, sleepbag and hisbedtime book ready for 7:30pm in bed. He normally asks for a cuddle after his book, then asks for his bed. Always in his bed at 7:30 or just after if he wants extra potty time. I always wake him (naps and nights). Work days at 6:30am and non work days at 7:30am. He naps for roughly 1.5 hours at lunchtime

Bath at 6:15, milk at 6:45 in bed at 7:15/20 and asleep by 7:45. Wakes anytime between 6:30-7:30

I’m so jealous of all your bed times!! We are currently going up to bed at 6.45 for a bath. Then begins the battle to get him to sleep. Normally going to sleep by 8.15!

Saw another post about rear facing vs forward facing and was just amazed at responses….

The fear mongering around forward facing is incredible… rear facing obviously is preferable but people talk about it as if the alternative is negligent.
Rear-facing being safest often gets interpreted emotionally as “forward-facing is unsafe.” And they just are not the same thing.

I’ve got 3 kids and have done both for different reasons… Living in 2026, forward facing seats are continuously designed to be safer each year. Just wanted to put it out there as we often feel like we aren’t doing enough or are constantly scrutinised as mothers anyway. Do what’s best for your child, you aren’t a bad parent.

Clitoral Adhesion

Has anyone dealt w this?
Basically the hood of your clit gets stuck to it and your hood becomes essentially pointless. It causes a multitude of issues and I’ve been dealing with it since i was 20 I’m 26 now.
I’m a clean freak about my 🐱 so I really believe it’s not due so smegma build up, I read that it can be caused by sexual discomfort and trauma to the clit.
Which checks out.. My partner at the time just sucked, would slam into me like a brick wall. Hardly ever did foreplay, I needed lube constantly. I’m always uncomfy and really NEVER finish.
I brought it up to my Gyno once when it first started happening it was a man and he basically just tried to force my nonexistent hood back and nothing ever resulted from it..

I’m just wanting to see if anyone has dealt with this.. I hate the way my vag looks and feels, im tired of being uncomfy where i should feel good.
I’m pregnant w my second baby and I really want to get this fixed after they’re born..

Sleep help!

My baby is 11 months old and he has never slept though the night!

He is up every 1-2 hours in the night and wakes up at least 4 times. We try to settle him in the cot and if that doesn’t work then we try to settle him in our arms but it’s get to a point he is getting really stressed so I give him some milk to settle him which he has multiple off.

We’ve tried to just eliminate the milk and replace with the water but it makes him worse.

He has the same routine every night- he has a book, gets changed and then a bottle. He has 3 meals and 2 snacks through the day and 1 4oz bottle in the morning after breakfast.

I need any help or advice for getting him to sleep through the night! Thank you

5 months pp, still don’t want sex…

I’m 5 months postpartum and it’s still painful to have sex. I had a C Section, so the scar still feels weird and uncomfortable being touched down there. Has anyone else gone through this? Is it normal or should I be worried?

Dr Google says my body could still be in shock from having a baby and it’s stopping me from enjoying anything.

Transition to own room, cot or floor bed?

I have been cosleeping with my lo since he was 6 months, and he's now 10 months old.
I'm considering putting him in his own room as I don't think he needs me anymore, we've night weaned and that went really well and now he's started sleeping through the night and he doesn't need to be touching me to go to sleep hes quite happy sleeping on his own in our bed.
I'm considering getting him a floor bed. 1 so he can lots of space and 2 if he ever needs me in bed with him I can easily just go there but my questions when they figure out they can't get out of bed how do you stop them because with a cot its got the sides so they can't get out but what about a floor bed? How are we keeping them safe? All I can think is when he gets to like toddler age he'll likely be in and out bed a lot.

I cannot be the only mum heading to bed right after I put my toddler down????

I'm a SAHM with a 15 month old. She naps a total of 1 hour during the day. Still on 2 naps. I'm EXHAUSTED by 7.30pm when she goes to bed. She is up at 6am so I literally find myself crawling into bed the moment I've got her down. Sometimes I scroll for an hour. But sometimes I'm going straight to sleep.

Anyone with me???
