What time is everyone putting baby down to sleep for the night? And what time is their first wake up? Trying to establish a routine for my baby who likes to do things her way 😅

Routines are mostly about your baby’s temperament. Though it’s unlikely you’ll get a proper routine until 3-6 months. Even then it’s down to what your baby wants! I’m of the belief that life is a lot easier when you give in and let them go at their own pace 🤷♀️

Ours has found his bedtime now at 9:30 he falls asleep. We start winding down from about 7 though we have a evening walk and he has a little catnap then for 20-30 mins, then we have some play and change clothes/nappy etc then bottle and settle. His first wake up is 5-6 hours, so 2:30-3 ish and then it could be between 2-3 hour stretches. So between 6am and 7am is his wake up time. He’s 12 weeks x

I always make sure he’s had a big feed before settling that usually helps keep him full and asleep for a long first stretch x

My baby always crashes out at 10 PM and wakes up between 2-4 am for her first feed xx

I normally give my LO her last bottle between 10-11pm at night (normally is put down by half 11 the latest) and at the moment she sleeps through to anywhere from 5-8am.
I say at the moment because I'm absolutely expecting her to wake up in the night after jabs and if she goes through the sleep regression 😂

At this age they just need to sleep on demand and usually on or next to you 🥰
