What time is bedtime for everyone’s babies?

For mine it used to be between 9:30-10pm but she then started waking up earlier so I brought bedtime forward and it’s now usually between 8:30-9 but I think that’s still really late 😭 can’t make it any earlier tho

does your baby sleep through and what time do they wake up in the morning?? Mine wakes up anywhere from 5-7am and I’m terrified if I put her down earlier than 8:30 she’ll be awake at like 3/4am 😵‍💫😂 day naps are terrible, 4x30 minute naps.. last nap being anywhere between 5-6pm x

My baby goes down at about 8pm just after his last bottle of the day. My baby sleeps through the night so doesn't have milk during the night if I brought is bed time forward any earlier he'd miss a bottle or start waking up for milk in the night n I'd rather not disturb the peace 😂 x

About 8.30pm here!

We paid for a sleep consultant as our nights were sooo bad, he would wake 8-12 times. She said baby’s optimum time to sleep is between 6.30-7.30 and the earlier you put them down, the later they wake up. We find he wakes up around 5.30-6.30 the last week or so but I think that’s because of the sun coming up earlier!
He stills wakes 2 times in the night for milk too.
Our day naps are all over the place in terms of routine but she also advised last nap to never start later than 4.30 and to end before 5 regardless of when it started x

8:30-9 roughly x wakes up around 8-9am. Works for us at the minute but will try to bring forward for when I go back to work.
Her wakes are so unpredictable but will always wake at least twice for a feed (breastfed) x

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
