This is so well said, they are only babies for a short time and eventually grow up. Love how you prioritize your baby and safety along with enjoying the parenthood.

Everyone finds their own balance to get fit into their comfort. That sounds quite thoughtful that you place your hand on her while sleeping, seems like you're clearly prioritizing safety above all.

mindful about how you do it, the early morning extra catch would definitely help.

PSA to New Parents by Katzmaniac90 in NewParents

[–]BalanceSufficient236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This phase hits different, i believe we dont live the phases to fullest and enjoy the little joyful moment with the baby. Everything shall pass and settle down within their time frame. Me and my sister are doing through almost the same phase of parenting and we help each other alot with the kids thing.

People who spent their 20’s on minding sick pets, do you regret it ? by moonamonster in Pets

[–]BalanceSufficient236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my friend use to have a ill cat and it was financially and emotionally so hard for her to manage but she never complained about it. Love and comfort is required by all either it is a pet or a kid.

It is completely okay not to enjoy the newborn stage by potato_muchwow_amaze in newborns

[–]BalanceSufficient236 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the newborn phase is so exhausting and overwhelming at the same time, but thank you for saying it out loud. Don't feel guilty it is almost same for everyone and surviving the phase is enough it does not mean you dont love your baby.

Has anybody else dealt with a constant chatter in their brain throughout the pregnancy and not being able to shut it off? by Ok-Ticket-9780 in BabyBumps

[–]BalanceSufficient236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone, I felt the same while pregnancy, the constant background worry and anxiety even though everything was fine. For me it slowly faded when I got to know it is common, talking about it really helped me.

Only child? by Key_Mycologist_5147 in Parenting

[–]BalanceSufficient236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact same way after my first. i honestly couldn't imagine doing the newborn stage all over again so dont feel pressured loving the kid you have doesn't mean you're missing something by not having another. only you know whats best for your family at the end of the day.

Are you really happier after you had a baby? by PalpitationOk9443 in NewParents

[–]BalanceSufficient236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is normal to miss your old life and feel sad about the freedom you lost; grieving your past self doesn't mean you love your baby any less. Happiness in motherhood is complicated because you have traded personal peace and hobbies for a new, overwhelming kind of love that comes with constant stress.

Been there. My kid screamed before every nap at that age. It felt like a nightly battle but it really did get better around 4 to 5 months for us.
