How does everyone else’s sleep schedule loook like?

Trying to understand what “normal” looks like - 4.5 month old ebf who cosleeps and wakes up around 2-3 times over the course of 12 hours at night. She wakes up once a night crying and I nurse her back to sleep and since her 4 month sleep regression started she wakes up babbling at around 5 and falls asleep as soon as I nurse her. I’m not planning on sleep training her.

I know there’s no normal when it comes to babies just wanted to better understand what everyone else’s nights look like.

My baby is also 4.5 months ebf. We put her in the crib at 7 and she usually sleeps until 12am with some variation. I nurse her and put her back down and she sleeps until 3am, again varied. I nurse again and put her back down in the crib and she usually wakes up in why 5am-6am window and I’ll sidelay nurse her in my bed and she’ll sleep until 8am which is when she wakes up. I don’t try to put her back in the crib after 5am because her sleep pressure is nonexistent.

4.5 - almost 5 month EBF. We had a great schedule prior to the "sleep regression" and I feel were trying to get back on track.

My guy goes down between 7pm and 8pm. Sometimes wakes up around 12 - 1, always wakes up between 430 - 530, nurses then back to sleep.

Wake up is between 7 and 730am, sometimes hes up on his own, sometimes I wake him.

Naps during the day are all over the place but lately hes been taking a big 1.5-2 hr nap around 3pm.

We just hit four months last week but he goes to bed at 6:20ish? Sometimes 7pm and it really just depends sometimes he’ll wake up at 1, pop him on the boob and he’ll sleep until 3 then 7am. Then sometimes he won’t wake up until 4am and will nurse and won’t wake up until 7/8ish? Before sleep regression he was sleeping 6:30pm until 5/6am ish 🫩😂

To circumcise or to NOT circumcise, that is the question.

Hey ladies, so I'm about to give birth, like... he should be here tomorrow. and I'm torn between the two. His dad isn't and he's not really helping me with this decision and now its crunch time. I feel like dad hasn't had any issues and (tmi) but I personally think its pretty cool, and can see certain benefits of have a "pull back" but I've only had a daughter and this is my first (and last) boy. I asked one of my friends who didn't choose to circumcise her son and she said she wish she had did it. He's about five now and she says that it irritates him.
So now I'm like... what to do?!

Nursery bag

Hello! Looking for a small backpack for nursery with my son’s name sewn or printed onto it. I’ve been told to check Etsy but just wanted to ask here for recommendations to see if there are any other good bags out there! Any ideas? ☺️

Am I being selfish by putting my baby to sleep by 8pm and having a strict routine?

My baby goes to sleep between 8 - 8.3 depending on his last nap and I am strict by it as he is goes over its difficult to put him to sleep. It's the same thing with stimulation near his bedtime. It's taken me over an hour to put him to sleep because he fell asleep in the car my husband woke him up and when we walked into the house my in-laws straight away grabbed him and stimulated him. I
Told my husband specifically I need to put him to sleep so take him straight to the room.

I put him down at this time, as 1 he's tired but also after he goes to sleep I get
To shower, make food, eat and have some me time. Whereas for everybody else they want to spend that time with him but I'm the one that has to suffer after.

Am I selfish for wanting some me time in the evening and putting him to sleep and essentially taking away that time with my in-laws? (They work and often back late evening)

Problems

I’ve been with my husband for a long time, and lately I’ve been questioning whether what I’m feeling is normal or a sign that something is missing. He’s a wonderful provider and an amazing dad, and we do have genuinely happy moments together. But I often don’t feel emotionally safe, valued, or respected during conflict. I’m usually the one trying to talk things through, while he gets defensive or shifts the blame, and it leaves me feeling unheard. I love our family, which is why this is so confusing. Has anyone else been in a relationship where the good moments are really good, but the hard moments make you question everything? How did you know whether it was something you could work through or something that wasn’t enough anymore?

Bedtime routine/times

Hi mamas! Just wondering what bedtime your May 2026 babies have?

I’m feeling a bit guilty because my LO is usually in bed quite early now and it means his dad only gets about 1.5–2 hours with him after work before he’s asleep.

At the moment, his 5th and final nap finishes before 6pm, then he’s awake for around 1.5–2 hours. During that time we play, have some quiet wind-down time and get ready for bed. He’s exclusively breastfed, so I do his feed and bedtime. Dad has suggested I should add in another nap so he can go bed later (when he was a newborn he’d go to sleep around 10pm) but he’s naturally shifted into an earlier bedtime and selfishly I finally get some time to myself but I can’t help but feel guilty.

Does anyone else’s baby hysterically scream every time they get out of the bath?

My baby is coming up to 5 months old and ever since her first ever bath, she has always screamed her lungs out after about 10 seconds of being in her towel. When it was colder weather, we tried to warm the towel up a bit and have the heating on so she wouldn’t have such a shock in the temperature change but this didn’t work. We tried drying and dressing her in different rooms, putting on calm music/favourite songs, keeping her in the towel for a bit and trying to distract her but it always ends up in tears.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is there anything you find helps or why she may be getting in such a state?
