What time is your baby sleeping?

I felt guilty today when our health visitor said we should aim for baby to have night time routine completed and in bed by 7pm. It just feels way too early, my baby does not settle until much later. I wanted to find out how other parents are doing ?

You know your baby best, if having a later bedtime is best for you then stick to it. I have had my twins have early bedtimes around 7pm, and later bedtimes around half 9. It all depends on whatever I am comfortable with x

My LO slept from 10pm-10am until
Around 10 months when we moved it to 8:30pm. Everyone went to sleep at the same time. They are two now and 8:30 is still their average bed time.

Me and dad sleep quite late so my boy went through a phase where he only really settled 10/11pm ish but now his body clock is starting to shift to sleep a little earlier but you know your baby. Don’t force something that doesn’t work 💜

Feeling hopeless, crying my eyes out every night and can’t take this anymore…

My 2.5 year old was an incredibly difficult baby, awake 6,7…8 times a night for about a year. Things plateaued for a while and she was a lovely lovely child, ate well, slept through, so kind and gentle.

Fast forward to now, terrible 2’s doesn’t even cover it. She screams, hits, bites and throws things at me. All. Day. She doesn’t eat ANYTHING, not even her safe comfort foods anymore, she will not go to sleep. It’s taking 3 hours average to put her to bed. I’m eating dinner at 12-1am sobbing through my meal. This is all day, every night. I have gentle parented her, I have kindly disciplined her, firmly disciplined, ignored her, walked away and even gone against my biggest morals and given her a slap on the wrist when she punched me in the eye. I’m at my f*cking whits end and I’m just so depressed and overwhelmed. I genuinely am so patient with anyone and everything but dealing with this day in and day out is making me want to literally run away or in front of a bus.

Video below is after 2 hours of trying to put her to bed and stepping out for 5 mins to gather myself together.

Sleeps

My little one doesn’t sleep well at night. My research has suggested he shouldn’t have naps longer than 2 hours in the day but he is sometimes having naps of 3/3.5 hours. Are we waking our babies? He is nearly 15 weeks! Any advice or experiences would be great

6 month old never happy

I'm just venting really. My 6 month old just seems never happy these days. He's cranky and whines all day long. He screams when I lay him down, when I try to play with him, when I look at him wrong etc. He has never cuddled me, but now he actively tries to push away from me with his arms and legs. He just seems permanently frustrated and it makes me so sad that I can't make him happy as his mummy.
Someone tell me this is a short phase and that it will get better 😥
