To be pissed off that people keep making comments about my baby's routine?.. Making out I'm lazy

[Alwayssearching]

So 11 week old goes to bed 9pm.. Wakes at 7 for bottle (sometimes 6) falls asleep with the feed. Sleeps till 10-11am. Throughout the day goes two hours between bottles. And maybe has 4x20 min naps. Unless in car or pram when motion makes her sleep. But wakes as soon as stops.
She's alert and loves me playing with her.
When she sleeps till 10-11 I get up around 9 and get most of the stuff done round the house. There has been the odd one when I've laid in bed till she wakes, if not much needs doing.
People keep saying it's lazy blah blah. But I spend 95% of the time when she's awake playing etc or cuddles... There may bethe odd, quick load of laundry onceds is home from sch. Or wash up thro tee day etc.
I take her out for fresh air every day without fail. Even if just round block or to tesco.
It's getting me down. Today I tried to keep her awake after 7am bottle and she was so miserable and wanted to sleep by 7.50 am

Yes it's a long sleep she has but its not so I can be lazy :( it's a routine she's gotten herself into

Why do people have to judge

It's jealousy of your baby's ability to sleep through. Ignore the remarks and enjoy what sounds like a wonderful time with your baby.

Sounds like a great routine. Enjoy it and your baby. Seriously people are jealous!

Yanbu. Enjoy your new baby, ignore the stupid comments.

It's not lazy. You aren't forcing your baby to sleep like that. She has quite short naps in the day so you get less of a break during the day than other people would.

Well it might impact when you need to go to preschool.

Lay in bed everyday! I would seriously ignore them, they're jealous. I am

Preschool is a while off at 11 weeks

Dts were like that, bed at 11, bottle at 7am back to sleep until around 10. It was great while it lasted

Baby is 11 weeks.. preschool is a way off yet !!

I’d ignore them. Me and my partner were both not working when we had our first. Our first was a great sleeper. We got stuff done through the day while the other watched the baby. If she slept til midday which she sometimes did then so be it we slept too. Fuck being tired just because others are. Not all babies sleep and I’m feeling sleep deprivation now with our second who is tube fed and has feeds right up until after midnight then up again at 7 been like this since she came home but not up as early now, she can home over two years ago and is three soon. I also struggle to get to sleep at night so I say make the most of sleep and enjoying the baby while you can.

Sweetcheeks she's 11 weeks old. Sod off.

Well it might impact when you need to go to preschool.

😂 the baby is 11 weeks old fs

People?! Who you mean like one person

This wonderful sleeping schedule may not last very long so you definitely should rest whilst you have the chance!

The baby is 11 weeks so pre school is of no relevance yet 😂

Imo OP when you have a baby in a good routine/a good sleeper/easy baby etc people don’t tend to like it. It’s luck of the draw and you got lucky so bloody well enjoy it!

You say ‘people keep saying it’s lazy’. Who are these people? That’s so rude and disrespectful.

For gods sake don’t change for them. You need to perfect your ‘bitch, please’ look.

Er, I think that was sweetcheeks' point, wasn't it?! i.e. it's not going to matter for a long time, so bugger off commenting!

Well it might impact when you need to go to preschool.

The baby is 11 weeks old.

The routine you have described is not lazy in the slightest, are people really saying that to you or are you feeling that way about yourself for some reason? Make the most of every moment you can with them, they're so little for such a short time. My LO is 11 months old and i'm getting less and less done every day at the moment because she sleeps so little during the day and wants/needs entertaining and attention for most of the time she's awake, and i'm happy to give it to her. Sod anyone who has anything to say about it too! I was the same with my older kids aswell. Spending time with my baby (and children later on) is my priority. I'll have the rest of my life for everything else.

For goodness sake op who are you talking to? If that’s friends dump them and if family ignore and laugh at them.

You and your babies routine sounds brilliant and trust me they are jealous.

Don’t keep
Sharing your routines.

I would have thought he would need to eat more frequently at 11 weeks. Maybe he sleeps so much because he is lethargic. We can't diagnose anything through the internet though, so speak to a GP or health visitor about if the sleep pattern is normal.

Who are these unpleasant people calling you lazy? If friends and family then you might need to have a word with them about being unkind. If strangers then just ignore.

It's a wonderful thing not have to stick to an external imposed schedule when you have your PFB. You can suit yourselves and do what you want. It's not lazy at all, it's just whatever schedule you and your baby have developed.

@WatfordorLeightonBuzzard the OP says the baby wakes every 2 hours or so for a feed during the day. That sounds often enough to me.

My first did this too
It was a really lovely time - I was not overtired, I had a tidy house and really enjoyed playing with her when she was awake
Enjoy it 😄

Ignore them. You'll look back on this time and wish you'd gone with the flow, so just do that!

I think people are just jealous.

As a young baby DS used to wake around 7 for a breastfeed then go back to sleep till 10. DH would make me a coffee and i'd stay in bed with ipad till 10. It was lovely.
(In my non lazy defence he always had 2/3 feeds in the night)

I wish either of mine had slept like that! I think they're jealous feckers!
