Let’s give an example of yesterday

6am - awake
Took baby to bed to chill and talk etc
6:40am - went downstairs to change diaper, went to make a bottle and left baby in his playpen
7am - bottle
7:30am - took baby and put in high chair while making breakfast for myself. Singing, dancing and letting baby play with his high chair toys. While eating I gave baby some food to eat but very little amount, just so he is not jealous of me eating
8am - cuddles, chatting , our time
8:30am - 9:30am - 1st nap
9:30-10:30am - getting ready, putting clothes on, diaper change, little play and then driving half an hour to the gym
10:30-11:30am - me at the gym, baby playing in crèche (having bottle)
11:30- 12:00 - driving back home
12:05 - 13:35 - 2nd nap
1:35pm - bottle
2pm - going to shop, walk around a bit to get fresh air
3pm- playing together, 1st meal
4:15-4:45pm - 3rd nap
4:45pm - bottle
Then playing together or him playing alone while I’m doing something else like laundry,

We shower on an evening when she's in bed. No stress as if she wakes one of us is there but it's very infrequent that she wakes once she's gone to bed about 7.30pm. is that possible?
If I have to shower in the day, I bring her in her bouncer into the bathroom and she watches me with toys x

Pram/Stroller Recommendations

Hi!
We currently have a travel system but the seat part doesn't collapse with the chassis and it's becoming a pain to load into the car and store. Any recommendations on good collapsing prams/strollers? I'm looking for something that's good abroad too! It doesn't necessarily need to be another travel system, just anything really! X

Baby sleep

My little girl is 9 months old now and has never been a good sleeper. She is now going through a phase of getting up at 4 am every morning and I try keeping things dark and boring but she is so awake for the day.
She goes to bed around 7pm. Has 2 naps a day. 1 nap - 1hr20 ish, 2 nap - 30 mins ish.
She is a childminders in the day so I can’t control her naps but I wish she would sleep in abit more but feel like I’m just banging my head against a brick wall. Any one else experience and was it ever resolved?

Sleeping position

Anyone else’s baby sleep like this? He can roll back to front but not the other way round but every time I put him to sleep on his back he always ends up like this. I hardly sleep because I’m forever turning him back over or listening to see if he’s breathing. He literally fidgets all night now too

Sleep sack

Hi everyone!!

I’m trying to transition my 12 week old from the love is a dream sleep sack that keeps her arms up to a sleep sack that her arms are free. This is the first night and she has already woken up 3 times within the hour crying ( never has done that)

Any tips to make her more comfortable during this transition?

Her day naps she doesn’t use a sleep sack and is fine.

AITAH or is he?

Husband slept on sofa last night because I was too tired to be intimate (I had been awake from 5am with our baby who had me up throughout the night). This morning our toddler woke at 5.30am and my husband decided to go to the gym at 6am for two hours before work and woke me up to be with our toddler even though I’ve been up every 1–2hrs with our 6 month old baby. I feel so exhausted, he doesn’t do any of the night wakings with the baby. I feel like he’s prioritising gym over my basic need to sleep and then punishing me when i say im too tired for sex. Am I being dramatic or is this a shitty thing to do?

Am I the a**hole?

So our baby is 8 months old, not a great sleeper but I'm not used to waking up every hour/2 hours ever night 😭😂
Basically partner works Monday -Friday 9-3:30 which I understand is still draining, my partner doesn't have to wake up for anything at night as I breastfeed so it's just me that baby will settle for at the moment (I sleep in the same room as baby )
As I don't get much time to myself day or night as baby goes to bed around 6:30pm and I stay with her for the night, sometimes on the weekend I just want an hour or 2 just to relax but my partner says "well I haven't had any time to myself"
But they have from 6:30 until they go to sleep every night plus uninterrupted sleep?!
Am I the a hole for wanting a little time to myself?
