For us, Craig is up between 730-8am. Chelsea will normally wake 8-830...sometimes later. Have a bottle...Then go back to bed..will vary each day how long. Does that on and off all day. Most days she is still in bed come 6-630 pm. Craig gets home at 7, then she has dinner or a bath depending on the last bottle time. She is in bed by 830 at the latest....other then them silly FDC days! Normally he will then do work on the PC so i dont really see him.. and he spends less time with Chels too...the thing is we dont go to bed til 11-12.

SO i dont think your being selfish....coming from me who was crap at routines....IMO 545 is early for bed. Esp if Evie is still waking for feeds. Maybe you can prepare dinner during Evie's naps or pre cook it in the nap times? Im not sure what works for you. DH gets home and i cook tea while he watches Chels and plays with her.

Go to bed when Evie does during the day if ur not baby sitting...im glad my day dont start at 6am!! Dont be hard on urself Tara.. ur doin a fantastic job!

I feel like the slack mum cos so far Chels has NEVER had homemade solids yet... she been having the jar food... so that makes me feel bad... i wanna make it.. but to lasy or cos i just dont wanna stuff it up cos i dunno how to do it!
