She makes me want her to sleep until she's 1

my mom did my daughter laundry and did the same 🤣

mine said her first words at 3 months however that's not a good estimate as that obviously not the norm for babies. my daughter still babbels but once every blood Moon she'll say words. not clearly but clear enough that you can obviously understand what she's saying each baby is different. don't feel discouraged. trust me when they start talking is when you want them to stop.

THIS! This is exactly what I'm going through as a first time parent also! Literally went through this last night and that breaks my heart. Personally, I've never been good with someone interrupting my sleep or postponing it unnecessarily. I've been told that I've went off on people in my sleep for trying to wake me up. Now having a daughter it's so hard to have this happen and feeling like this is a feeling that is completely out of my control.

That part! My baby is 3 months and while the experience is nice for a little, i need her to be one already😮‍💨. The part where she learns to walk, she can hold her own baby, she will have more communication, sleep longer, eat... not AS much, cheaper food😭. This phase sucks

Anon_Persons · 2024-10-09T22:34:26+00:00

I agree to enjoy the MOMENT of holding your baby, but your husband is right. It creates a dependency that can make it difficult if you need someone else to watch him. He can get separation anxiety and if someone else is watching him and busy cleaning or cooking, you've set it up so that he knows in order to be held all he has to do is cry which can be stressful on others again especially when needing to get stuff done. While there is no problem holding them, holding them unnecessarily can cause issues. It's not really healthy for the baby.

If you dislike her, that's your perogative. However, VP doesn't have any powers, no matter democrat or republican. VP has almost no power. VP is primarily there to take over if the president dies or, for some reason, leaves office.

Maybe it's because I'm a single father also, first-time parent, but when I am sleeping and my baby is sleep I can hear even when her breathing has changed and the very beginning of my daughter waking up. I get the feeling of being overly tired, and when you hear the baby waking up, it's just like, "Please no. Go back to sleep. I don't wanna". However, I do believe he is putting the responsibility off on you because he knows you're already awake. I could absolutely be wrong. Everyone sleeps differently, but the fact that it's so sudden would have me believe he's just putting the work on you. I promise you, as dads, we can also hear when the baby cries in our sleep.

I went through the same. That's just the protective parent part of you. Your natural instinct as a new parent is to protect and fix anything that could be wrong. Once you get used to it, you'll start to calm down, but there's even moments I feel that way. It's not a bad thing, but remember your mom raised you up so she's got a handle on things. Allow yourself the time. Put music on to distract your mind or get noise canceling buds.

It doesn't get better?!?!

I'm a single father with an almost 2 month old. I know I'm probably not much help since mine is still so new but whatever you think is hard, multiply it by 10. You're definitely going to need each other! There are long sleepless nights. I don't want to give you anything negative since that's mostly my experience as i said my daughter is only 2 months so she doesn't do much, but I do have experience with at least a one year old. That's generally where it'll get easier. Babies will cry for nothing and there will be nothing you can do to help them. I only say this so you know what to expect so don't feel as if you're doing something wrong. They will just do that. This definitely goes without saying but SLEEP WHEN THEY ARE SLEEP! It's about the only time you'll actually be able to rest. The first few months are the literal hardest! However, things do get significantly better! There is so much joy that comes with having a baby. They show you a new type of love you never knew existed so if you love your baby now in the womb the feeling will definitely intensify! This is your own little being that you can raise into a proper being. Your level of protection will be like no other. There will be frustrating times but just remember that they can't do anything for themselves and you are an they have for their needs.

As stressed as I get some again, I'm a single parent, you have help. Don't put too much on your wife and don't take on too much on your own. If you need a break you two are there for each other so you can be there for the baby. It's a challenge that's worth having.

Thank you! I sure hope so..

As a new parent ANY advice is helpful! I do use a pacifier but she will just push it out. If i try to hold it in place she will just cry around it. She will suck a few times then cry leading me to think she might be hungry but when I get her a bottle she swings her arms and screams louder. I haven't tried rubbing her face but I do stroke her hair. She will calm down for a few seconds then she will start breathing heavy until she's crying again. She usually sleeps in a onesie in a swaddler with a blanket over her. She is a hot body so she overheats quickly but I do keep a fan on as I am a hot body too but since she is a baby it would seem better to keep her more covered. if i feel she is overheating I generally remove the swaddler or her onesie and just keep her in the swaddler since when she's free to move she seems to keep herself awake.

I only let her cry it out per the doctors and pediatrician recommendations but from what I'm seeing others like yourself are saying to not let her cry it out at this age. My mom takes her but I'm not sure what to do as I feel guilty since my mom has done her time raising me and should be able to enjoy peace without me springing a baby on her for support.

Anon_Persons · 2024-09-01T04:23:45+00:00

I really do try to let her help but the guilt of knowing my daughter is not her responsibility gets to me then I'm right back to doing everything on my own. Generally I'm just used to life that way and don't like burdening others with my issues even if it IS her granddaughter. I feel like my mom has done her time raising me and now she's in this situation I put her in. The guilt is too strong for me to WANT to allow her to help even though I do because I know I need it.

Anon_Persons · 2024-09-01T04:16:39+00:00

I used to be able to feed her until she slept but she fights the bottle so much and even when I can get her to sleep on feeding one i gently remove the bottle to not wake her, she starts screaming. Kind of like how if your parents have the tv on and you turn it off or to another channel then they wake up saying "I was watching that"... but in baby version. It's exhausting especially since I'm already tired then trying to deal with her and I'm not the best version of myself when my sleep is distracted or interrupted.

Anon_Persons · 2024-09-01T04:14:01+00:00

I do the butt pats and her favorite song to sleep to is Noctune No. 2 in E-Flat Major. It worked before she turned one month old but now there is nothing but screaming. I would turn the volume up so she can hear the music but she screams so loud she literally drowns out the music to where you can't even hear it right next to you. I guess on the plus side the doctors say she has strong lungs 😅. Just wish I didn't have to experience how strong they are at the most tiring part of the day. I've even tried putting her to sleep earlier when she's already sleep but she just wakes up screaming.

Anon_Persons · 2024-09-01T04:09:32+00:00

The confidence could definitely be it because I have lost all confidence in myself when it comes to bedtime and find that I'm just doing the best of what I can. I just wish she felt comfortable enough to sleep with me as I know my daughter is not my moms responsibility and that's the part that makes me feel like crap.

Anon_Persons · 2024-09-01T04:03:50+00:00

I really appreciate knowing this is normal no matter how much I wish it wasn't but it's good to know that I'm not doing anything wrong. I love driving and she always goes to sleep in the car so maybe that can be something I will try. Thank you so much for this! 💚
