Hey - just curious what time everyone’s little ones are going to sleep typically? Especially keen to hear if you had a late bedtime during the newborn stage, have you moved it earlier and has it helped?
My boy basically fell asleep downstairs with us from about 9:30 until 10:30 every evening, we’d do his bedtime routine and he’d be asleep around 11:30. He slept through from about 5 weeks doing this, but we’re 3 weeks into a regression. He’s waking at least once or twice and needing a feed to settle and often waking and resettling himself on top of that too. He’s always been low on sleep needs and we’ve been at about 11-12 hours per day for a couple of months now so he’s never going to do say 7-7.
I’m just wondering if it’s time to bring bedtime forward so really keen to hear what everyone else is doing!

My now 14 month old didn't have a strong routine until around 8 weeks where we began bedtime routine at 9:00pm. Over time we adjusted it earlier and now since around 7 months has been going to bed at 7:30pm - 7:30am

If your child is low sleep needs and you don’t like super early mornings, keep bedtime late!
My eldest is almost 3 and has never gone to bed before 9pm while napping and wakes between 630 and 7. He sleeps 9/10 hours overnight.
My April baby goes to bed between 9-11 really depends but he only tends to do 8-9 hour nights! x

My baby started off going to bed around 11pm as a newborn, and then overtime bedtime has naturally gotten earlier and earlier, and now she gets grumpy and is ready for bed by 7:30. She has slept 6 hours since 6 weeks old and now she is 19 weeks and sleeps between 10-12 hours at night without waking. I feed on demand in the daytime and she’s a big girl so I think maybe it could be because she gets all her milk in the day that she sleeps well, and I find having a routine has really helped. I worried about bringing bedtime earlier in the beginning but i’ve found once I brought it earlier to around 9pm around 2 months old, since then she’s naturally moved it herself. So all in all I would say let your baby lead and if it’s working for you then keep it!

My daughter is 7 months old, and has always been a good sleeper- originally she would have a last bottle around 10pm and sleep until 6am.. now she has got older, the bedtime has naturally become earlier not through anything of our doing really, but through her own cues! She is in her own bedroom now, and likes to be sleeping by 7.30! We just followed her queues as she got older and her wake windows became longer etc! x
I don’t want to even get into it, but the only time he’s ever been nice to me is when i’ve been pregnant, and I pour everything I have into my kids. I know we all have our cross to bear in life, but my crime is that I wasn’t complicit to his pill problem, and it caused a lot of issues with CPS, which I unintentionally got involved when I reached out for help. His mom hates me. CPS thinks his mom is a toxic enabler. They deemed me the only competent care giver. Now they’ve closed the case, and I don’t have them to protect me anymore, and even if i leave, i still have to deal with these people for the rest of my life. honestly I really just wish him happiness and hope he finds somebody he actually loves and respects and respectfully lets me move on with my life. I just want to start my own business which i’m currently working on, and i want to take care of my parents and keep them out of the nursing home for as long as possible. I just want my parents. i want my mom. My dad who is my biggest support is dying. It kills me to know i won’t have my kids all the time. My husband just tells me how I’m not a good wife. I don’t understand why he’s even still with me.

Where is everyone doing their night feeds? I breast feed and then I have to pump because my son has tongue tie and that's what I was advised to do. My son is really good at sleeping at night, he'll eat and then go back to sleep, or have his nappy changed and then go back to sleep. Both with no intervention. Because of this I feed him and pump him in bed next to my husband.
Where does everyone else feed their little ones?

Hiya, I was just wondering if anyone elses little one does this? She is my second child and my first didn't do this, so its all new.
My little one will only poop when her nappy is off. There may be the slightest residue in the nappy at times but otherwise, she waits until the nappy is off to go. She is 7months old and this has been the case for the past 2 months. Please tell me its not just us. 🙈

Last year I had my first baby who after I became seriously ill was delivered 2 months early. When I finished at work that was it. I got a very basic card in the post and a bouquet of flowers then heard nothing off of the company for the entire year I was off. This week a colleague is leaving to start her maternity leave. A group of people have organised a hamper for her and baby asking for monetary contributions. SO much has been bought and who knows how much money has been spent. Gift cards for coffees out, clothes for baby, bath products for mum and baby etc. I was asked to sign a card and it was full of so many messages telling her what an amazing and great mummy she will be, words I’ve never heard. I’m 16 weeks with our 2nd and know that when I leave again it will be just like last time. No recognition and a simple card in the post as that’s company policy. I’m sat at my desk feeling so stung and hurt by this. It’s a lovely gesture being done but surely if it’s because they’re friends it’s something that should have been done privately and away from work. Maybe I’m a rubbish mum and no one actually cares as no one really seems to care at all especially during a 2nd pregnancy
