Hi there
My son that is 6 months goes down at 6.00 I play some sleep music. And lay him down . But Lately he been staying up to 8.00 or 9.00 then I put in his cot. A bottle help him fall asleep most of the time.

We do dinner, bath, massage, bottle and then rocking to sleep hahahahahah
Sometimes he sleeps while drinking his bottle and just depends on the mood and day

Nappy + freshen up (baths are in the morning)
Feed
Read a book
Sing
Kisses
Drop in the next to me and goes to sleep independently

We start about 6, bath, massage, bottle, book and she falls asleep independently around 7.15-7.30 (our bottles take a while at the moment)

So fed up

Baby only contact naps in a dark room. I'm so over it.

Why can't it be one or the other.
Nap in the dark OR contact nap.
Its not right, it's not healthy.

He's nearly 4 months and I've tried a few times to get him out if this habit but it never sticks!

I don't want this anymore. I dread EVERY nap. I love him and love being a mum during wake windows but when nap time rolls around I find myself regretting being a mum and I feel terrible for it, but I can't do this anymore hours on end in the dark every day for months on end. 😭😭😭

Second hand baby stuff

I am curious what everyone thinks on second hand baby stuff like, car seat, push chair, cot etc. babies grow very fast, they grow out many things in just few months and kinda feel like it is a waste of money and not good for the environment. And also think as first time mum he/she is going to be my only child so I should get whatever is the best. On a dilemma 🤷‍♀️

Sleep (help!)

So - we haven’t been getting very much sleep. My baby who is 5 months today always slept really well, but recently it’s not been great. The longest stretch he will do is about three hours - otherwise he instantly wakes up as soon as we put him down in his crib. Last night we were up until about 3 am trying to get him down. I honestly don’t know what to do other than co sleep which isn’t my preferred option because I don’t sleep very well next to baby! Anyone else experienced this?
