Nothing wrong with it in my opinion if you need something you need something and they can sleep in your arms or carrier etc. I’m sorry a she made you feel like that or judged. You’re the mother do what you feel is best it’s not like you’re doing it every single night if there’s no one to watch your little one and it’s the only time you can go to the store then you gotta do what you gotta do 🤷♀️
Not a small baby, my 2 month old doesn't go to bed until we do so not unreasonable to take her out. If you were out at that time with a toddler, yes I would judge but probably wouldn't say anything
Nope. Not atall. I used to let my (small) baby sleep and feed on demand. I was up all hours and going out for an hour saved my sanity. Don’t let anyone judge you 👍🏻
I think some people don’t realise small babies don’t got to be early, but tbh, they don’t know your circumstances anyway, so they shouldn’t judge
No, my baby would go to bed when we did at that age so def could’ve taken him out too. And in other countries people are out with their children/babies much much later, in fact when we were in Spain this summer they thought we were crazy for having a set bedtime for our little one. So many prams out at midnight 😅 of course different culture and climate but regardless, no issue and ignore the comments. Do what you need to do
I wouldn't personally but my 16 week old goes to bed at 8pm so it wouldn't work for me anyway! But if it works for you then don't let anyone else tell you otherwise...you know what's best for you and your family x
People need to understand that not all babies are on a 7-8pm sleep routine. My baby definitely isn’t and goes to sleep around 10:30–11pm, so I couldn’t give a toss about what anyone things to be honest. Do you! unfortunately we live in a world where you will get judged for everything! These people don’t pay your bills and they should mind their own so do you. That baby might have needed some stimulation before bedtime, might have needed to be in a pram because they were fussy or upset, could have been many reasons but people will judge anyways.
Yeah people will make all sorts of comments that will make you feel judged on every topic relating to motherhood, this is just one of them. You’ll get plenty more along the way. Learn to ignore the comments and have confidence w your choices and know you’re doing the best you can. We regularly go to house parties or a friends/sisters house and stay out later than babys bedtime, we put the baby to sleep and continue socialising w friends and fam, we don’t go home just because it’s baby’s bedtime.
I typically don’t take my kids out but this wk my 2 year old was still awake at 8:30 & sometimes thats just when I go grocery shopping after the kids go to bed & he kept asking to go so I was like heck.. you only live once.. I thought about the “ice cream mom” her baby passed and the night before her baby wanted ice cream & she didn’t give her kid ice cream but later on she said she wished she had.. life’s short 🤷🏻♀️
Lol I read this and laughed because I personally haven't been out that late to see anyone else out since I've had children 🤣💔
my 6 month old goes to bowling with us every Tuesday night. we bowl 9pm to 11pm it's part of his routine, he loves it, sees all of his "aunts" and "uncles" and sleeps in his pram
Not her business. 2 months old often don't have a routine yet so it doesn't matter anyways
I feel as mum's we will always be judged no matter what we do so just try not to get it to you! I once took my then 6 months old out for dinner until 11 pm, he was asleep in his pram by 8 pm before we went into the restaurant and slept peacefully throughout the meal and then got back to his crib and slept the night through once we got home. I'm sure some people there were judging me for it but it's none of their business
I think no matter the age of your child nobody should make comments on what you choose to do with them. Drives me mad how some people think it’s ok to comment on what you do with your own child as if they have any control over any of it. I don’t get why people feel the need to do that? Especially at such a young age like that as they don’t have set bedtimes and tend to nap / sleep whenever they want anyway. I find it interesting how some people just aren’t bothered about saying stuff like that.. I’d never dream of going up to another mum and commenting on what they do with their child lol xx

Like someone else said, people don’t understand the sleep schedule of a small baby. I have told people my baby goes to sleep around 10-11 and they were like wow why so late. But she will sleep through most of the night that way. We have tried to put her down earlier and she wakes up. She knows it’s not bedtime yet haha
My favorite part about the newborn era is the lawlessness of it haha. We coslept and fed on demand so there was no “bedtime” per se. You might as well go out and feel like a human for a bit! Better yet, meet up with friends who will hold your baby so you can have a little time not being touched.
there was a time when my son wouldn’t go to sleep until 2 am (his own internal sleep schedule, we tried to get him to sleep earlier) and we would just take him out with us wherever we went. we didn’t really get anyone judging us for it because i feel like most people understand how babies are just generally working on their own time? so i wouldn’t be too bothered by some random stranger making a rude passing comment
We went on a late night supermarket trip a few times when our son was little 🤷🏻♀️ sometimes if he'd been wildly screaming and refusing to sleep for ages it was good for us all to get a quick reset, get out of the house, grab a snack and try again!
