Am I worrying about routine too much??...
Hi ladies im relatively new to posting, just wondering what your opinions are.
I have a gorgeous 4 month old daughter who has a fairly good bedtime routine which involves bath bottle and bed.
Quite often we get invited out to friends for dinner or round to their houses for an evening but I usually end up declining coz I dont want to unsettle little one?
What do you ladies do? Am I doing the right thing by just waiting till she is older before going out more?
Thanks

depends how often it happens. sometimes like if we've been out for the day, ive just got to go with flow and jessica has been fine.
i think babies are more adaptable then we think.
maybe just pick and choose your nights out you want to go out to.

I think routine is good but flexibilty too, if you wanna go to dinner do it ! I'm sure lo will be just fine, its not like you do it every night !
As long as you're consistent generally, I don't think you need to deprive yourself of a good night's company every time - don't forget, you're not 'just' a mum, fab as that is!

My lo is 13 months and although we have a strong routine she is fine if we're out till later etc. But I guess it depends a lot on the baby- you won't know how she is until you try!
I'm not saying you're doing the "wrong" thing at all by declining invitations cos I know different things work for different people! But I agree totally with stsarina when she says that general consistency is what's important, and would myself go so far as to say that even more important is that your LO learns flexibility.
