Bedtime

Hey guys, this is a random one but what time are you putting baby to bed? This is my second and I've been totally relaxed this time round, haven't got a routine at all yet as I know it's a bit early but I'm starting to notice a bit of a pattern forming and wondering if it's time to start introducing a bedtime routine.

At the moment I'm just taking her up to bed with me which has been averaging about 10pm, but she normally drifts in and out of sleep for hours before that whilst I watch TV downstairs. I've noticed she seems to be getting a bit frustrated with that now though, think she probably needs quiet and dark and bed.

Not really sure what time to aim for though. I cosleep with her so have been going to bed when she does. She's 7 weeks old so still early days and for a long time she wouldn't settle until 10/11 pm anyway which I know is normal. But when should you start to bring that forward?

Whenever he falls asleep usually between 10-11. We’ve always co-slept and followed the lead of both my babies. My toddler doesn’t go to bed until 9/9:30 he’s never been a 7pm bedtime kind of kid so we just roll with it! x

We do the same routine with baby that we do with our toddler, they both have bath/wash at around 7/7:30 then milk and bed.. so far the baby has been falling asleep around this kind of time or from 7:30-9pm he’s asleep and then I go to sleep as I go sleep and I’m exhausted also.
My toddler likes to start his morning at 5/6:30 rarely later so I go to sleep between 7:30-9 usually myself

Formula

Hello, so I don't think I'm going to be able to breast feed. So I want some good formula that won't break my pockets and if anyone knows of any places that like help moms get discounts or free formula let me know please.

Wake windows

Does anyone not follow the whole wake window thing and just follow cues instead? The older generation say they never had all this wake window stuff and roll their eyes when I obsess over it

Travel prams

Can anyone recommend a pram for holidays please, preferably one that fits in the cabin overheads on the plane x

I’ve been fired from my job this morning. Don’t know what you to do now.. feeling broken.

I cried. I am clueless what’s next? Husband is supportive but I don’t know why it happened. I believe in God and trust the process but this was insulting..

Did ya catch em all?

Friendly reminder that no one is alone in this. You are not a bad mom. You are doing your best. You are loved. Your baby is safe. And above all you are not in this alone. Ask for help, and never feel ashamed ❤️

9 weeks today and has barely woken up at all :\

Little boy slept well for the first time ever last night, and today he’s barely been awake at all apart from feeds, and when he is up he’s crying and hard to settle.

Normal nappies, feeding well, no fever.

What do we think? Growth spurt? Unwell?
