My babies are nearly 3 months old now. More and more are people (mother, MIL, HV) talking about getting them into a good bedtime routine.
As it is the babies are with us downstairs until 10ish, we then take them up, turn the lights off. Change them, feed them and put them to sleep but by the time I'm done this might be 11.30.
To get them to bed any earlier would involve me and DH sitting in the dark, whispering to each other for a few hours before bed each night because as I understand it they should be sleeping in our room until 6 months? Hey were premature and low birth weight so at additional risk for SIDS. Is this what people Do? HV says their bedtime is too late but I don't know how to make it earlier without completely sacrificing our evenings every evening. They won't settle with the TV on.
