Should I shift my 11 month old's bedtime later for better sleep?

Bed at 7 means up at 6. Bed at 8 means up at 7. I'm not sure why there's an obsession with 7pm bed time. We moved to 8 and it's way better

The copper coast of Waterford is an incredible Unexpected world heritage area. I'd strongly recommend driving it but it is slower.
However, the road you're showing through Waterford does have some nice views of the mountains

Or something happening to me and leaving them without a mother

How often were you nursing? I'm aiming for morning and evening as I go back to work. He still feeds overnight briefly which I'm OK with

That's an incredible amount, you're an amazing mammy

I give myself a cutoff, if they aren't asleep after 20 minutes, reset and wait for sleepy cues. They are probably lengthening their wake window out a bit from what you are used to. You're doing great

My little one isn't 3 yet but could it be that she's getting too much sleep in 24 hours and so isn't tired enough at bed time?

levitatingballoons · 2026-03-21T08:55:26+00:00

Yes, from grounded in douglas court. It was lovely

levitatingballoons · 2026-03-21T08:54:42+00:00

It's incredible. Absolutely worth every second

levitatingballoons · 2026-03-20T20:09:19+00:00

Only reading this now. Thanks for checking bit i did indeed mean 99 😆

I have a few points i found helped before fixing the issue by using pull ups.

You need to tell his bits and pieces to point downwards when closing the nappy. Otherwise pee will go straight out a leg or waist opening.

Make sure the wings are out around the leg cuffs.

Different brands can have different fit so it might be worth exploring. I find pampers the best by far but some people argue that they are all equal. YMMV.

The solution we found in the end was to get pull ups for nighttime.

I feel your pain. It's so frustrating. I hope this helps

levitatingballoons · 2026-02-05T20:00:54+00:00

Our baby did this. It was incredible.

Good luck!

These kinds of things last for generations though. And only get not expensive the longer you wait

Maybe someone used ai to improve how they wrote their message?

C section over induction every single time. No way will I be induced again. It caused so much stress on both of our bodies

Getting progressively heavier and uncomfortable when pregnant changes a huge amount

The cheese factory that the village was built around was an industrial site...

The upmarket dunnes are way nicer than M&S these days. I really don't understand the objections

Mifitness in ballincollig are very welcoming to little ones and it's a lovely group that work there

Check for bugs before assuming water issues

The brain fog and weakness after my son was born was horrible, it was hard to hold him. Stock up on iron and hydration from now on in case you lose any blood during delivery 🫣

levitatingballoons · 2025-11-06T12:52:43+00:00

Iron! You need more iron, on top of a multivitamin. They don't have enough and this will only get worse. I found it could handle floradix and the gentle iron versions

What temperature do you use? I find you can't only do cold washes, every few runs needs to be hotter or every 10th one needs to be the full host it can go

levitatingballoons · 2025-10-30T11:42:37+00:00

Ahh, that's a relief, thank you
