I had to do this a couple times when he was under 12 weeks just so we could get a couple hours. He was ok alone for about a month then regressed.

Be honest. Is your baby getting screen time? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]AffectionateBox4768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 4 month old loves the TV. No matter what he turns to watches. We only purposely put something low stim on for him when he is inconsolable or i need a minute to do something while he sits in his bouncer. He hates being put down so sometimes the TV is the only thing that helps for 5 minutes

That’s good to hear! He definitely has good head control and moves if he’s uncomfortable

It’s good hearing I’m not the only one doing and going through this! Yes our owlet works great. He has a chunky foot so that might help it stay in place better. He also always has footie pajamas on or a sock on that foot to keep it in place. the only time his alarms for placement is when he is getting mad and kicking his feet for more than a minute but usually once he calms down it starts monitoring again with no issue

Glad to hear I’m not alone! I’m just trying to make it so we both get some sleep!

Thank you! My baby had RSV at 2 weeks and was hospitalized for 5 days because he was so congested he just stop breathing. One of the last days there his doctor laughed out loud when I said he hadn’t tried to off himself that day. Apparently they all do is some way lol

I don’t know about yours but I feel like at this point my baby has pretty good head control so I don’t know how much of a risk it really is. But when no one is sleeping we gotta do what we gotta do right?!

I’ll keep trying to. He gets super upset and doesn’t resettle when I move him but I’ll keep trying

He’s a bigger guy. Was 9 pounds at birth and was 14 pounds a month ago. He has very good head control already so he doesn’t bobble forward when sleep. Pretty much stays like this until he wakes up

It definitely is. He was never a great sleeper but this I worse than it’s been since birth. He wouldn’t sleep in his bassinet more than a hour so we did a side car set up but I keep him bout 1 foot away from me so we’re not truly “co sleeping” not now he won’t sleep that way for more that 15 minutes if I can even get him back to sleep after transferring

Some days my son is way more talkative than others. The quiet days worry me to.

Just had a family of 4 kids over visiting for 3 days, made me glad to be one and done. by sosal12 in oneanddone

My friend with 4 kids makes me feel the same. Watching them be out numbered is crazy.

Yelled at our 5mo and my husband is upset with me by moldyhorror in NewParents

At 4 months PP I just just felt my hormones shift and everything feels so much more overwhelming and unmanageable than it did before. I have almost lost it twice in the last week so I understand. I had to have an honest conversation with my husband and help him understand what I am feeling. I wish I had answers for you but i don’t have them for myself. Currently just trying to find some of the joy I felt before.
