Bedtime

Do you have a set bedtime? I try and start the routine of bath, story, feed and bed from about 9pm but don't know if this is too late. Wakes anytime between 3. 30-5 for a feed and then again at 6 and then wake for the day at 8.30. Only has 2-4 naps during the day - either following feed or when out for a walk

I have a skeleton routine.
I tend to get both mine in the bath for 6pm and then dinner straight after.
We then do teeth (for the toddler) and then BF the baby while doing the story.
We aim to be lying down at 7:30pm and if it’s been a long day my toddler will knock out by 8:00pm. My baby is BF to sleep so she will sleep quite happily. By 9:00 they’re both asleep.

Baby wakes for a feed about midnight and then again I’d say about 04:00-05:00 which is usually a dream feed.

Baby naps twice a day - anytime between 09:30-10:30 and again around 13:30-14:30.

My toddler doesn’t always nap. But if he does it’s once between 13:00-15:00.

How old? My little one always went to bed super late as a baby. She's 2 and has a 8.30ish bedtime now she's stopped napping,but soemtimes can still be 9 😂

Mines always been a late bed timer too and my google search history is “is 9pm too late for a X month old” basically every month… “usual bedtime for a X month old” 🤣 theyre all different dont worry as long as youre happy, baby is happy and everyones well!! If baby looks tired or is moaning or theres clear issues, maybe tweak naps but id say youre fine! They change when they fancy it every few months

Bread Suggestions

Hi, need some suggestions for a good first bread to use for BLW. UK based. I know you're supposed to be careful about salt content and also we usually get a granary which is probably not ideal!

Breastfeeding constantly

Hello mums 👋 I'm a first time Mummy to my gorgeous boy Albie who is now 2 1/2 weeks old. I've been combination feeding so my husband can bottle feed when I get some sleep for the first part of the night however I have found that when breast feeding I am feeding constantly. He will fall asleep on the breast and despite all the usual attempts, he won't wake up. When I try and put him down or get my husband to take over, he will start screaming and rooting again. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experience of this and if it's normal?

Thanks in advance

Snoozeshade

I was wondering if anyone has used a snoozeshade for the pram. It’s meant to not create heat inside but want a better alternative than an umbrella.

Breastfeeding

Tried to get little one to latch in hospital and were struggling so switched to bottle as I wasn't massively set on breastfeeding anyway. Shes now a week old and Im itching to try again with breastfeeding but worried it could ruin her weight gain and set us back. She does eat well with the bottle, only 1oz down from birthweight 5 days after birth. Expecting her to be back at birthweight at least at our next appointment on Tuesday. Anybody tried again with breastfeeding? Obviously if it didnt work, we still have bottles and plenty of formula. Pic of our little angel just cause 🥰

Baby naps

My baby is 2.5 weeks old and literally fights every sleep bar like one? Ive tried swaddle, white noise, quiet room loud room nothing works. Is anyone else found this or any tips to allow me to sleep too 🙈

Terrible Sleep 😭😭

My baby is 6 months old and he's always been a good sleeper. He's been able to nod off by him self his whole life and then only wakes for his feeds. And then straight back off to sleep. Anyway I don't know where my baby has gone cos the one I have now goes to sleep for 2 hours then spends the rest of the night whinging 😑. Last night I was so tired I just put him in bed with me and my Husband and he slept all night. Didn't even care about the bottle he'd usually wake up for at 3am 💀. I don't want him in our bed every night.
What do I do now?
