Festive house visiting vs baby’s bedtime

Hi mummies, when theres festive season like cny or hari raya, theres definitely house visitings until night. However when you have a baby, that has a routine especially bedtime or night routine, how do you manage it. Hari raya is coming in few months time and I am anxious. by then my baby would be 6months++. For now his bedtime would usually be 7/8+pm and sleep till next morning if no disruption. Would you try to go back by baby’s bedtime or just let baby sleep in your arms/carrier and continue visiting ? My baby sometimes when his sleep gets disrupted or he gets overtired (eg he cant sleep cause very noisy) he’ll cry murder. #FTM

For us, we'll play by ear. We go visiting on our own so it's easier for us to change our schedule. I know some families would all go visiting tgt for Hari Raya and tt might make it difficult for u to back out. But as parent, we know our kids best. I would say follow baby's routine. For me, I wld try to be back home before 6pm.
