In another video, the content creator explained her point of view further, writing: “I never understood why parents would put their babies to bed at 7 pm.
“That just means when they have their full 12 hours of sleep, they would wake up at 7 am.
“And us being stay-at-home parents, this isn’t very necessary.
“As long as the baby has their needed amount of sleep the time you put them to bed doesn’t matter.
“Time is a man-made thing, so she sleeps from 12 am to 1 pm and that is what works for our family.”
In the comments, Victoria’s fans were divided on the routine, with one writing: “That is such irresponsible parenting. you are selfish and clearly not ready to be a mum.”
Another said: “You are setting her circadian rhythms now for the rest of her life, it’s not about what is convenient for you.”
Someone else commented: “So basically you have decided to give the baby a sleep cycle of an unhealthy teen so you don’t have to parent for the first six hours of the day.”

Although some users defended the mum, with one writing: “This is refreshing to see a late-night routine as opposed to those early-morning Tiktoks.”
Another said: “Parents put their kids to sleep at 7 pm and then get pissy when they wake up at 4 am as if it’s not 9 hours of sleep. Good for you.”
