Bed time

FTM & my little boy is 25 weeks. For bed time he will not go past 7 o’clock. He wants his bottle around 6:20 or 6:30 and I have to put him straight to bed or else he will get over tired. I’m not complaining but is this normal? He will sleep through with the odd occasion of waking up but he’s not crying etc then he will go over again and wake properly at 6:30 am. Am I doing ok with this routine ? I’m assuming when he gets older his bed time with stretch?

Let me know the magic that you are working 😂 sounds like a dream routine

My April baby is the same and my first was the same too, still sleeps 7-7 now at almost 4 x

My April baby is same except she will go to sleep anywhere between 6 and 7.30pm - wakes at 10pm for a quick feed and then back to sleep until 5/6am usually. Not sure how to stop the 10pm feed 😕

Yeah we take her up for a bath around 6ish , do a bottle and then in her crib 6.30-6.45 ish. I’ll dream feed her 10 ish and then back into cot until 4 and bring her into bed with me (that’s assuming it’s a good night 😅 some nights she will wake a few times after 12 and I’ll bring her straight in with me)

That’s perfectly normal. My little one naps for such small periods of time that he’s ready for bed at the same time.

While my baby won’t go to sleep till 9/10 😫 but she does sleep through the night. How many naps are you having?

Comfy bras?

Is anyone else still wearing nursing bras even after they’ve stopped nursing because it’s just comfortable?? Because hi 🙋‍♀️. I would like nothing more than to retire them as war heroes but what are we all wearing as alternatives? Does anyone have recommendation for comfy supportive cute bras? ‘Cause the girls do be needing more support after 9 months of nursing. I was looking at the Knix no underwire ones.

Ftm 31 weeks pregnant advice please 🫶🏻

I’m so excited and trying to get organised but not sure if I’m rushing. All advice welcome❤️

1. I’m having an elective c section what after care bits were actually helpful? Are the silicone patches worth it when did you start using and what brand is best? Was a peri bottle still necessary for cleaning the downstairs area or not?

2. Maternity bras. What ones would you recommend and also when did you get them I was thinking of getting them pretty soon but also not sure if they’ll fit by the time I need them or did you just size up or waited till closer to the time?

3. When did you start washing baby clothes and packing hospital bag? I pretty much have everything we need already so I could pack now I just don’t know if I should wait. Same with washing babies clothes etc I plan on washing all newborn and 0-3 months initially then bigger sizes closer to when she’ll actually need them but I still have 8 weeks how early did you start washing clothes and organising drawers etc?

Help!

My daughter was a late walker at nearly 20 months but this one is determined to climb, cruise, move at not even 9 months. Any tips on helping him move around safely when I’ve got him and his sister (3) to watch?

Bassinet to pram seat?

When did you make the change? Nearly 4 months old and naps in her pram, she woke up today and decided to roll over in the bassinet 😂 Is it time to put the chair on? :(( she’s probably more than ready, I however, am not 😭

Pram inserts for newborns

My mum has recently found a free pram that’s she’s brought home for us, it’s a bugaboo chameleon 3, with an L shaped bucket seat, but it also reclines back fully (will include pictures). There’s some parts missing, we’ll need to get more straps for it. As the seat fully reclines, I’m guessing there’s some sort of seat you can put it in for babies that need to lie at an 180 angle. I really need help finding a seat, I have no idea what to look for or any of the pram terminology. I’m hoping to get something to put in it for a newborn before thinking about buying a whole other pram well only use for 5 months. Any advice appreciated

Crib/bassinet transfers

Everytime my first attempt at crib transfer fails, the second attempt always fails too. I then finish it as a contact nap. Only if I get it right in first attempt does the baby continue with the nap in the crib. After how many minutes do you re-attempt if it fails once? Any tips / suggestions on what I could do differently?
