Bedtime for 2 month old

My 2 month old currently goes to bed (asleep in his beside me cot) between 9:15/9:45. Sometimes can be 9 at the earliest. His usual wake ups are 3am and 6am (bum, bottle, bed within 30-40 minutes) then up for the day bang on 8am. At what point does he need to start going to bed earlier? I’m worried it’ll move his wake up time earlier but I also cannot wait for the time where I have my evenings back to relax. Even just a couple of hours. But by the time he’s in bed I’m pretty much ready to and might read my kindle in bed next to him for half an hour.

My little girl just moved hers back herself. Initially, we would take her to bed at 10/11pm, then it moved back to half 9, then 9, then she started going to sleep whilst we were downstairs having tea (her dad finishes work late) so she’d go to sleep then we’d take her up asleep and it just gradually moved back to now her going to bed at 7 and sleeping through until about 7am (8m old)

I’ve noticed my little girl 8 week 5 days has just started to fall asleep around 8pm ish and if up later really hard to settle. So I give bath at 7:15om, moisturise, nappy and take her upstairs for bottle. After bottle cuddle for around 20 minutes and sleep. She will wake around 11pm for feed then can go anywhere between 3-5 hours for next one. Then up for day at 6/7am!

At what age do you think having sex in the same room as your awake child becomes sexual abuse?

The other post got me thinking. At some point this is just straight sexual abuse. But at what age would you classify it as

first word

genuinely curious! when did your babies say their first word, and what was it?

Baby doesn't want to be held but also won't self-soothe?

Alright, I need advice for my 6 month old. What do we do when our babies give all the sleepy ques and yet when you try to get them down for a nap nothing works?

I do a naptime song every time we are getting ready for a nap, nurse (which sometimes gets them to sleep), but when I put them down to sleep they start fussing, when I try rocking no matter what way I hold them is correct, I try just laying with them and this doesn't help either cause they just start crying.

I know they are trying to crawl right now and that makes sleep and naps super funky. I don't want to cry it out either. But omg this drives me bonkers and gets me sooo frustrated cause like idk how to help you go to sleep!😵‍💫🫠

Comforting a breastfed baby

I'm finding the only way I can soothe my 3 week old baby is by putting her on the boob! Others can rock/sway her and shes off to sleep no problem but she doesn't settle with me like this. I don't think she's clusterfeeding and she is full because she tends to bring up whatever she drinks during these comfort feeds. Any advice or is this just life with a breastfed baby? 🫠

Last question! Did anyone get Whooping cough and RSV jab on the same day?

I had to make an appointment today for both my Whopping Cough and RSV jab as I am told I am "behind" in these. So I have an appointment Thursday to have both done at the same time, has anyone else done this? I had a whooping cough jab last pregnancy, but not RSV.
