going out at night with baby

Our routine goes out of the window if we are out at night. We went to mum & dads for New Years and Gina fell asleep at 5 min to midnight - she was just too much into everything to want to sleep before and believe me we tried

If we are going to someones house then it is pretty much the same...down to bed around 6.30-7.00pm and we just keep resettling her if necessary. Only get her up to go home then straight to bed once home.

Only difference would come if we were going out to dinner somewhere for example. Also on the cruise it was a bit up in the air as we put her down in the evening for an hour or so then got her up to go catch a show (which she normally slept through most of) and up one night around 9.30 to go to the Island Night Party.

It depends where i am. I went to Leish house once and as she had a portacot she put it up for him ot sleep in so he had bath and bed at roughly the same time.

If we're going to someones house, we put Eva to bed in a bedroom, either on a bed or in a portacot. If she wakes, and it's late, we usually head home fairly soon afterwards. When we get home I feed her again, then it's off to bed.

it really depends on where we are, what we are doing and how long we are going to be there for......in saying that, we don't get out much anyway

if we are at my parents for dinner or something where we aren't staying all night the kids just have a late night. we take their pj's and night naps so when we get home it's straight to bed. if we are staying the night somewhere, then it's the usual bedtime of 7.30pm

Depends what we are doing. We took him to Sparks in the parks the other week and I got him to sleep (holding and rocking, haven't done that in a long time). But then he woke up when I transferred him to someone else so I could have a pee, then he stayed up and watched Bic Runga and the fireworks, I gave him an extra feed then we went home, he was so tired I was able to transfer him from his carseat straight to bed (yay for travel sleeping bags). He then slept through till 7.30am.
If taking to friends then I normally try to follow a routine but put him to bed either in a pram or a portacot (pram normally works better). Then transferring him to go home normally disturbs him so I give him another feed at home (but he would have his night nap already on). That has worked really well and again he will sleep right through as if its any other night.

lily will generally go down at normal time and wake after 45 mintues then be up till we go home. Once home do a dream feed then bed. Works fine for us.

Depends on where were are, if at friends or family, we will follow our night time routine as much as possible and use a portacot. Anywhere else, the routine goes out the window and we just try not to stay out too late.
