What time do/did you put your 6 month old to bed? We’ve been thinking about putting him to sleep later because he gets up around 6:30 am everyday like clockwork.

Son is about to turn 6mo. Bedtime is between 645-7 each night. His new favorite trick is to wake up at 5am, poop, then refuse to go back to sleep

What time do you put them to bed currently? In my experience, wake up is a pretty fixed point for most infants.

I'd also think through seriously the trade-offs of a bed time past say...8pm. Means you and your partner basically will have 0 time without the baby awake.

You could experiment by pushing, but I doubt you will get anything close to a 1:1 benefit. Really 630 is pretty awesome for wakeup. My older son was very consistent at 515/530 through those months.

In our experience, wake up time is pretty much fixed, so if you’ve got a good bedtime process down, idk if I’d mess with it.

Also, we didn’t get our kids up right when they wake up. Sometimes they fall back asleep, sometimes they play with a stuffie. Buys us 10-15 minutes in the am.

3 year old: bedtime starts at 7, falls asleep around 8. Full intervention needed to get him to sleep. Usually wakes at 1 am and crawls in bed with us, where he thrashed around until 5:30am

4 month old: asleep around 6:30pm, fully awake at 6:30am, wakes 5 or 6 times a night to feed

Struggle is real

Our kids are 2.5 and 8 months and we put them both down around 7-7:30. Both wake up around 6-6:30.

Is he waking up hungry? We’re still doing a dream feed.

I do think it has to do with light seeping through our windows (we have blackout curtains but it doesn’t get all of it). We may play around with a slightly later bedtime as well.

Let us know how it goes! Also when do you plan on skipping dreamfeed?

7.30p-7.15a at 5mos. No night feeding

Nice. That’s the dream.

9 month old

6:45-7:15 pm
Wakes up around 5:30-6:00 am

No dream feed

6 month old. 7pm asleep, 10pm dream feed, wake up sometime between 6:30-7am.

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college. I was thinking of buying a condo or 2 in lieu of saving and selling them down the line for tuition. Condos downtown are pretty inexpensive (T3) so it’s financially feasible. But is this a good idea or too risky?

Someone told me that if you make a list of the things you wish they’d said, you can think of what your values are in a relationship and the communication you’d want from a future partner. What are some of yours? Here are mine:

You have a beautiful soul.
I was wrong.
You are amazing.
I’m ready to go to therapy, and I scheduled us an appointment.
I wish I never left, not once.
You mean the world to me.
I will help you with anything you want.
I will always be there for you when you need me.

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
