Both you and hub have to be firm and consistent about sleep times. My #1's bedtime was very early when he was under 1 yo, 7pm he is in bed already. Even CNY reunion dinners we would not bring him for those late night dinners. My parents or relatives want to say whatever they want I don't care. My child needs sleep.

Lolx... ya, i guess many responses gave very good suģgwstion. However, there is the other side why some grandparent chose not to follow any rules we implement, becos being special and drop them off rules makes them look like the best people. 🤣

talk to you hub ask him talk to them. if it can't works, show them that baby needs to sleep for development reports. if still cannot tell them straight in their face and be firm.

Maybe can let them know in advance eg 30min before their bedtime, let grandparents know ahead so they can plan how to spend the time together? :)

Try to explain to them and convince them the importance of sticking to a sleep time routine. Also must monitor them from time to time.

Just tel them nicely or give examples in a joking manner about kids not getting enough sleep. They should understand (:

I personally take care of my child .. I don’t want to depend on them better talk with them if u think so

if its my own mum, I'll talk and explain to her. if its my MIL, I'll get husband to talk to her.
