What time do you wake up?

This is a random question but, what time do you wake up realistically as a SAHM?

Depends. If I’ve got uni work to do that I need to get done before they get up I’ll be up at 5-6 but they usually wake me up around 7. But getting up early is hard when you’re pregnant.

My first kiddo has been a good sleeper and I can sleep until 9. He is usually up at 8 but will just lay in his crib, or sometimes in bed with me until 9

6 am

I am an early riser probably before 5-6am but I go to bed early. I’ve never had to set an alarm for anything as I know I’ll be up. It hasn’t ever failed me yet 😂

6.30am before new baby arrived. Now 4 weeks postpartum and my day starts approximately at 5am...

5am: I wasn’t an early riser before but you gotta do what you gotta do x

6am.

Was 8am for a long time but lately it's between 930-1030am

630 alarm on school days. A little later on weekends.

Perfumes and babies

My baby girl is 1 week old and we’ve had some family and friends visit, but not loads. The first time my mum came to see her and after she’d held her for a while baby smelt quite strongly of her perfume.

I don’t want to offend my mum (or anyone else) but I also don’t want my newborn to smell of Jo Malone 😫 is there any way I can mention this and request she doesn’t wear perfume to see the baby without offending?

When you really need to shower…

But you could also quickly nap - would you pick nap or shower? 😅

Almost 15-month-old touching other children’s faces/heads – normal phase?

Hi mums, FTM mama here 😊

My little one is 15 months old and has started touching other children's faces and heads when we're out. Sometimes she'll pat their head while saying "gentle" because that's what we've been teaching her at home.

She isn't being aggressive and doesn't seem upset—just very interested in other children. I'm wondering if this is a normal phase at this age? Did anyone else's toddler do this, and did they grow out of it?

Any tips on how you encouraged respecting other children's personal space while they're still so little?

Has anyone had anymore visits from the health visitor since baby was born?

Mine is 8 montns now, and I only had my health visitor come to see him 1 time. I don't really know how often or how many times they are suppose to visit you, but when I had my daughter, I remember seeing them more than I have seen them when I had my son

Breastfeeding mothers, how do you break the feed-to-sleep habit?

My baby is 4.5 months and he wakes every hour. I understand this is probably the end of a sleep cycle so completely natural but he doesn't know how to go to sleep without sucking on my boob. I've noticed he doesn't actually drink, he just uses me as a human dummy. Any advice on how to break this habit? I've tried patting/shushing/rocking instead when he wakes but he screams and wants the boob...
