Bed time 🌙 💤

Out of curiosity, does anyone follow a bedtime routine? Would they mind sharing & do you find it helps? Also,do you try to keep to a specific bedtime?

Thus far, I’ve just followed baby’s lead but thinking need to start establishing a wee routine.

yes! we do bath time about 7pm, get all cosy after bath and then just for a routine he shuts the curtains and turns off the big light with me then i’ll feed him and read him a book.. usually asleep by 7:30, apparently night time routine shouldn’t be super long otherwise they don’t actually realise it as a routine 😁

Yes my little girl has a routine we start at 7 and we do a bath, milk and then rocking for 15 mins and she is normally down for 8 and sleeps till around 5.30. I also use white noise machine and she loves the projector with stars on really nice and relaxing xx

So there is a big difference between schedule and a routine. We never followed a strict timetable but we did follow a routine. And i never noticed it helped much, until it was disrupted. We do dinner, bath, night time talk, and then story in bed. They got use to this and it definitely helps turn there brains off for the night. If we skip a step it shows.
Oh and obviously babies dont talk but we saw that when our son was first born, he enjoyed being apart of the conversation anyways. It was cute. Big sis would ask about his day, he'd babble and she's respond "Really? I loved doing that as a baby" so fun

Sleeping through crying newborn

I spent a lot of time on the post natal ward which turned me into a really heavy sleeper (was a really light sleeper before). And now I sleep through my baby crying - anyone else just completely does not hear their child cry or am I a bad mum?! Luckily I always wake up to my husband feeding her 🙃…

Pre birth health visitor appointment

Has anyone refused a pre birth health visitor appointment. Ive never got one with my 2 other children they just came after birth. This time they have sent me a date to come visit. I dont feel I need a meet and greet appointment to know what they are about considering ive got a 5 year old and a 3 year old.

Sleeping through the night

My baby is sleeping through the night completely now, from 8:30-6:30. This means he’s dropped 2 feeds, but is still having the same amount during the day. Shall I offer more during the day as he’s technically having less now? He doesn’t seem to want anymore in the day though.

PPA & PPD

I just had my baby 8/1 and severely struggling with anxiety and depression. I’m constantly thinking something is going to happen so I don’t sleep. I’m constantly checking on him throughout the whole day and night. I’m running on minimal sleep and don’t know how I’m going to survive once my husband goes back to work. I feel so alone. I love my baby but hate the newborn stage because of what it’s done to me.

Cluster feeding

Has anyone come out the other side of this yet? 😅 and if so, how many weeks along until it finally eased off?

Our LO is only 2 weeks old so know it could be some time yet.. 👀
