What is your night time routine for your 7 month olds?

And are they still having their 3rd nap (catnap)?

Routine 🤔🤦🏼‍♀️😂 just started tonight and failed miserably 😂 put him up at 8:30(first night in his own room) ..... He was back downstairs playing until half nine when he finally stuck his thumb in and started looking sleepy!! He has always only had a maximum of 20 minutes sleep during the day, tending to catnap for ten minutes instead. I'm just winging it 😂 xx

When my baby was 7m:
Wake up 7am, nap 9am, wake up 10:30am, nap 12/12:30pm, wake up 2pm, may cat nap around 4/4:30. No naps after 5. Night time routine starts 6:30pm (bath with soap or without 15/20 minutes, lotion, pjs, room dark for bottle, after bottle family story time, kiss goodnight, in crib lights out at 7pm. No night feeds. I follow it religiously and baby always ready for bed at 6:30, she knows her schedule

My son is up around 7 or 8am, takes a nap around 10am until like 12ish, nap at 2 or 3pm usually about an hr maybe, nap at 6pm until like 6:30. Bath around 8pm after dinner. Bedtime is at 10pm sometimes 9ish if he's tired. His schedule isn't strict but these are the times he normally gets sleepy so he's sort of scheduled himself.

We both have lots of appointments during the day so I normally schedule them around 2pm so he can get a good nap in beforehand.

Yes to 3rd time nap, and hubby said he kinda came up with his own schedule-as in Baby did while mom had late nights working. Monday and Tuesdays I work 12-9, and W-F it’s 8-5. My parents watch him watch him while we’re working and my mom tries to get him down for an afternoon nap around 1ish. Sometimes it varies it seems. His later nap is usually around 4-6 whenever he’s tired and it’s usually a quick mini one. Like 20-30 minutes. He also often has a morning nap, time varies.

Car seats

What the fuck is that.
Looks like no seat belt, just some bar thing, and a kid that’s small enough to be rear facing in a forward only car seat?? Someone tell me there’s more to this and it’s not as crazy as it looks

Plane seat purchase

Why are we having to pay extra for seats?! I really can't afford to add any more on to the expense. So I'm going to check in, and hope we are next to each other. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children.
How likely is it that we will be split - and staff care enough to give seats together? Please let me know if this has happened to anyone. I really can't be adding £300 more just for tickets.

Breastfeeding or screaming - no in between

When it comes to our late afternoon and evening feeds, we seem to hit the same problem; he just won’t unlatch! Baby boy is 5 weeks and will just chew on my nipple, I assume to soothe, and if I ever try to take him off he screams. He’ll even be falling asleep and still hates it, and then won’t sleep at all!

Any one experienced something similar and know how to work around this? I’m sore and need a small bit of my evenings back!

Help!

My little boy has just turned 2 and for a few weeks now he’s keeps playing / getting his private parts out. We keep telling him no and he seems to think it’s funny.
I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this and how I can get him to stop doing it.

Period has come back!

To my surprise my period came back today!😭 Little bit concerned as I’m only 8 weeks post c-section and my baby is breastfed other than 2 feeds at 8pm and 12pm. Has anyone else got their period back yet? I was expecting another good few months!

Sleep training tips

Can anyone share how you sleep trained your babies without letting them cry it out? My LO is currently almost 5 months but absolutely refuses to fall asleep on his crib on his own.
