Sleep

Does anyone have any idea what they’re doing with sleep?!

I have a 9 week old, when does bedtime start to matter ( she currently goes to sleep for the night anywhere between 10-1am, not by our choice)

When will she start going earlier and when will the last nap of the day start to matter?

Also we are out and about a lot (mainly the MIL’s which is then a 30 min drive home) if we do that late at night and baby falls asleep will that effect her night time sleep??

So many questions 🙈does anyone have any good resources I can look at. ( I’m not a fan of sleep consultants and I don’t like tracking everything such as huckleberry)

Diaper change

If baby poops just as she is falling asleep. Do I change her and disrupt her sleep or let her sleep but with poop😩? Help

Car Seat

Hiya girlies,
My 6mo is pretty tall and she’s already outgrown her car seat. Could anyone recommend any good value car seats, preferably online as it’d be easier to get?
Amazon would be a good shout, but even like Argos or something works too.

Thanks in advance xxx

I let my baby cry it out

My baby is 3 months old. We’re not officially starting sleep training but today has been brutal. He had been up for 4 hrs and was so fussy because he was exhausted, but he would not go to sleep. I tried nursing him to sleep, rocking him to sleep, walking around the house with the baby carrier, walking around without the baby carrier, laying him down on the bed next to me, having sensory time in his playgym, reading to him, singing to him, NOTHING was working. So I laid him down in his cot awake and fussy and sat downstairs watching on the monitor. He cried for about 10 minutes, then fell asleep.

I feel like a terrible mom that I couldn’t soothe him to sleep, he was just so overtired nothing was working. He’s fast asleep now but I don’t know if what I did was right. I told myself 10 minutes and if he’s still crying I’ll go try to soothe him again. But as I was literally getting up to get him, he went from crying to silence. I went in to make sure he was ok anyways because the immediate change from crying to not kind of scared me, but he was totally fine. Fast asleep.

Is it ok to let him cry himself to sleep occasionally at this age?

4 month old

Sleep regression.. what the hell is this madness 😂😂 I feel like I’m going mad he was only 4 months old on Friday and safe to say it’s started! How do I stay sane

Losing People due to life changes

So I got married last November. Pretty much conceived on my honeymoon. And we are now expecting our babygirl at the end of August. With all the life changes that have happened to me in the past year. I have notice I have lost some friends who can't grasp that my life has changed and will continue to change. Because my child ain't going no where. And will always be my priority. My priorities are different and it's like these Gen z friends of mine just don't get it. It's been low-key annoying and stressing me out because I'm like umm I can't change being pregnant and I can't change that I'm a wife, stepmom, and gma all at the same time now. My life is different. And I'm being penalized 😔 anyone else going or gone through this type of bullshit. It's why I hang with my generation and older normally. Cause zillennial (young ass millennials) and gen z just cut different (in a very immature way) .

Sleeping

My daughter has just turned four and she still wakes up multiple times a night.

We have trialled later bed time/ earlier, bath before bed, making sure she has something like porridge to eat before bed. Letting her have tv/ no tv. We have tried night light no night light. We have altered her room lay out

She is put in bed about 7 she stays up until 11ish then she wake up around 2am and stay up until 7ish then wake up around 8 for the day she has no day naps and doesn’t seem tired

Any suggest please 🙂
