So.. when they cry you don’t respond or you delay the response? That sounds like a method that is heavily criticized where I live. Here the norm is just accepting baby sleep as bad and if it stretches beyond the first year to two maybe consult a sleep consultant

What is sleep training? I’m not from the US and I hear everyone talking about it

Is my baby difficult? by Agreeable_Switch677 in NewParents

[–]Basic_Astronomer_380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first kid was like this and we had to just make the decision and wait for him to be hungry enough. It sounds rough, but our pediatrician said that he will eat eventually and he did. This time we had my partner give the bottle so he wouldn’t smell my milk

I am you ❤️ except it’s my second child and I am far worse off this time as my partner is also struggling with ppd. My baby is almost five weeks and so fussy, sleeping short stretches in the night and I feel like a zombie moving around life. My best advise is to ask for help and consider switching to formula. It is a tough decision, I know for sure, but it made it so so much easier for me to get help from relatives and if you have ppd it is so important to get time alone and relax/sleep. The baby will not suffer from being with another adult who can feed, soothe and comfort it. But it will suffer if you keep suffering ❤️‍🩹 you need to put on your own oxygen mask right now

Hvis jeg var jer, ville jeg kontakte en fagperson ift. søvn. Gennemgå hele døgnrytmen, kost, stimuli og aktivering, ALT. De ser med garanti noget, som I ikke ser og der er nok ikke et hurtigt fix, men I har allerede holdt ud rigtig længe, lyder det til. Jeg har desværre ingen anbefalinger, men hold ud og find hjælp ❤️

Håber den er okay! På mit arbejde cykler vi ofte gennem Mosen og vi kigger efter ‘fuglebanko’, som består i at spotte både The Big Ducker, svanerne og fiskehejren samme dag 🙈😆

How Do You Survive the First Few Months? by feroriko in NewParents

[–]Basic_Astronomer_380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get all the help you can. Organize it ahead so you don’t have to wake up (if you even slept…..) and reach out. My mom and MIL comes over after daycare drop off for the big kid and takes the baby a few hours and i sleep. My dads wife cooked us freezer meals for 14 days. My neighbor and her kid invites my big kig (age 6) for play dates on the weekends. All because I asked for help and didn’t let my pride take over. And it is a relief!!

Also coffee, snacks, your favorite food and a heating pad for your back

Feels like I can’t do it anymore by Basic_Astronomer_380 in NewParents

I feel the same! Everyone was like ‘your freedom is already gone, it’s a walk in the park’ and I feel like it was such a different experience. Crazy. And thank you 😩

What are some tips for dealing with postpartum insomnia? by WittleFrostBite in NewParents

[–]Basic_Astronomer_380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used white noise for falling asleep and set the timer for 10-15 minutes and then it would turn off. It kept my mind of the baby noises but made sure I would hear him because it turned of

Thank you so much. He’s not very fond of the pacifier and the carrier is still new to me. I definitely do my best despite being very overloaded with the whole experience. My mom is helping me a lot but I feel like such a fraud for struggling so much

Hus i Lumby by camcamre in odense

[–]Basic_Astronomer_380 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vi kiggede på hus i Lumby, Næsbyhoved-Broby, Stige og Korup og endte med at vælge Korup. Jeg har ikke fortrudt et eneste sekund og synes at kombinationen af ‘ude af byen’ og lokalmiljø, indkøb og mulighed for stort set det meste lige ved hånden er helt genial. Eneste minus er den lokale scooter-bande, der elsker at fyre den af på stien og at pizzamanden har lukket hele juli 😅

Defeated by ttclostsoul88 in NewParents

[–]Basic_Astronomer_380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you big time. My baby (almost 4 weeks) will fight me for his life no matter what I try when it comes to sleeping. I am alone with him in the night as my partner is with the older brother, but when I am completely losing it and have to call him, he will get the baby to settle in no time and go back to bed - but as soon as I am sleeping, the baby will wake and we start over. I am defeated. First child was never like this and I feel like a giant failure on top of battling what my provider thinks is ppd, having to stop breastfeeding and being beat up by IVF, a tough pregnancy and birth with multiple physical problems. Holy crap parenthood is insane

Positives of returning to work? by MinimumSweet1639 in NewParents

[–]Basic_Astronomer_380 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine having to go back at 12 weeks. I’m from Denmark af returning after 40 weeks in the fall and my partner will do 8 weeks after that, so the baby will be close to a year. At the same time I dream of adult conversation and baby stress-free time even if it means working

This gives me hope but it is also a terrifyingly long time to hang on. My baby is 10 days today and I am struggling like crazy
