I’ll try to keep this brief. My 4 month old is exclusively breastfed and a terrible sleeper. He still feeds every 2 hours on average. Added to this he is very active and I pretty much get no ‘down time’ during the day. We had a very loose bedtime routine of bath, bed etc. With the baby dictating when he was tired. He has naturally fallen into a 7am wake up regardless of the time he sleeps.I have decided to now put him down to sleep at 7.30 ish depending on how long he feeds.Now here is my problem. My husbands family are now interfering and criticising me saying he should fit in with my schedule not me with his. According to them I should put him to bed no earlier than 10pm. This is because they expect us to go around at 8 in the evening and stay until the early hours. All because they don’t wake up until 4pm including my sister in law and her one month old daughter. They have come to the house before now and woken him and I was then left with an upset baby screaming for an hour :(How can I explain to my husband and get him to accept this. He works late so I need that hour or two at night to take a bath etc. Surely it’s not that crazy for me to want to be up early to do Baby groups etc.Plus it seems they want him to fit their routine not mine! Apologies that turned into a HUGE rant. What would you do in my place? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MDSsAD
