I am a mom of one baby boy, how can I make a little time for romance in my own home with my husband.?

Answer 1

the rule is that you have to wait till baby sleeps

Answer 2

Ha ha - I know where you are coming from on this question - I have a four year old, I work and my husband is in the army it can be sooo difficult!

You have to have time together as a family at weekends/holidays so make them special - get a little code so you can discreetly through the day tell your husband what you want to be doing to him (kids won't understand if you use code). Then when you get home from your family day out put your little one down for the night together, (I find a bath in the evening helps my child sleep better). Then wait - the last thing you want to do is start the "romance" when there is the possibility baby is not yet asleep and could interrupt the moment!!!!

Send husband for a bath and prepare something nice to eat, then you have given little one plenty of time to get his head down.

Then a quick change and its dinner for two - desert ? thats up to you.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

If possible, you could get your husband to help you put the baby to bed. This way all three of you will bond. Then spend at least an hour in each others company. I am guessing that the baby will sleep for at least that! Prepare a meal together or just sit and talk. It should be easy enough once you start, you just have to find a good time when you are both at home and the baby will be sleeping.

Answer 4

If your baby boy wakes up at 7 am, wake him up at 6 so then you'll earn that hour in the evening. A little change won't rock his boat, but it could make yours stronger. When we become a family, it takes time for both new parents to adjust. Men can often feel deprived because the baby becomes number one attention so we have to try and fit in the time for both our loves, child/ren and man. It also requires him to have a little consideration-take over if you need a nap- and it requires both to be the parent.
Instead of having a bath alone, get your other half to join you, same goes vice versa if baby sleeps. Many things we can do around our children and still make the other half feel special

Answer 5

try to get your baby bathed and into bed for 7pm from a very early age. That leaves the whole evening for you and your husband. You can spend time together making a meal and eating it in peace (no offence to baby!) or whatever you do. This is what I did from my baby was 5 weeks old and eventually when she was 12 weeks old after following the same bedtime routine religiously she slept all through the night and still does at 10 months old. Good luck

Answer 6

Like Charlotte1, I work & my husband is active duty ARMY. Get your child & everyone else on a schedule/routine. For ex, when I get off of work, I go work out (around the corner), come home, fix dinner (kids set the table), get kids to take baths while husband fixes my bath. Husband then tucks kids in bed and joins me in tub. The tub is the most wonderful place to catch up on news/conversations with your husband and to begin a nice relaxing night. We got into this routine before he left for Iraq. It's a good way to unwind. Lastly, go kiss the kids nite nite and it's all you and your hubby. Now, my kids are 6 & 8. How old is your baby? If younger, keep him up as long as possible and then do the above. The tub is the best place to begin!!! Good Luck and don't give up. Cudos to you for wanting to try.

Answer 7

keep baby awake as much as you can through the day so that he'll be ready for a good sleep come 7 o'clock. Whilst you're doing the bedtime routine with the baby, or hubby is doing it, the other patner can prepare a nice meal for the two of you, with candles. Whoever is doing the bedtime routine with baby can run a bath with candles and rose petals ready for when baby is settled for you both to jump in and chill out for a bit.

It's hard really until baby is in a routine but you learn tricks as you go along :-)

Answer 8

The time that you can do all this is when your baby is sleeping. And try putting your baby on a schedule, like setting a bed time. Make your baby eat early and then bath time then you can put your baby too sleep. Don't allow your baby to have very long naps toward the late afternoon. I hope this works. Good Luck

Answer 9

Make sure you have a good routine so that your son goes to bed at a reasonable time. This will allow you more time with your husband. Also try and get a baby-sitter and go out together once in a whils somewhere romantic.

Answer 10

For infants you can line up a row of candles on a dresser or shelf and put on some soft music and lay the baby on the floor on a blanket or something soft and you and your hubby can have some fun in bed while baby is distracted with candles and music. Baby is not going to know what you are doing. ;)

Answer 11

put the cleaning on hold put the baby to bed and don't worry about other things that may be happening. or ask for help off family and friends. i'm sure they would love to look after the baby for a couple of hours. good luck and have fun
