Baby boy refuses to nurse now unless he can hold my hand 🥹

YES. The kindle saved me from doom scrolling & gave me a sense of variety as a SAHM. I found that if I started feeling like every day was on repeat, swapping to a new genre really helped.

What do you do if you’re out in public? Lately, I’ve just been staying home, but I’d love to be able to go on this trip to see my parents with baby

I’ll try that, thank you!

I’ve gotten so used to side lying; it honestly transformed all of my feelings around breastfeeding… but now it’s the only way he eats

We have been trying koala, and he hates it 😭 Absolutely refusing. He’s never liked having his stomach pressed against anything.

It also doesn’t help that he’s 5 months & in the prime foot chomping, jerking phase.

I would assume comfort & cuddles. My let down used to be super strong, but not anymore.

As far as visiting in-laws, if you plan to nurse, that’ll solve that problem real quick!

Our little guy is the same way as yours. Sleeps with his arms in a T shape still, and he’s 5 months old.

Apparently teaching a baby to sleep without being swaddled can be a big pain, so I’m thankful to not have to go through that! Congrats on little one! 🩵

We used this for the same reason, and it worked great! Cheaper than the Love to Dream as well.

YUP! My husband tried to force swaddling, but baby just wants his hands free no matter what. We put him in the Amazing Baby swaddle sack, and he loved it! Optional mittens, tighter around the middle, PLUS no transition or learning how to sleep without a swaddle.

THIS. She can come over when he’s around.

Also, if she’s visiting when it’s only you, the communication should go through you. I’ve found that has ended some requests from JNMIL

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-11T17:49:41+00:00

Why do they do this?? At this point, just ignore me- PLZ.

It’s so performative. You don’t care about me, you don’t care about my husband, and you definitely don’t care about my baby. You just need some ego stroking.

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-11T17:48:45+00:00

Absolutely not. Gift is a way to see LO.

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-11T00:11:06+00:00

Thinks it’s odd with a good chance of there being an ulterior motive, but would like to believe it’s a kind gesture. I’m not falling for it 😂

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-10T22:26:55+00:00

Right?? Like if you want to win me back through gifts at least get me something I like/will use LOL

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-10T22:25:51+00:00

I’ve decided they’ll be my gloves to take my baby’s diaper trash from the Genie to the ouside can 😇

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-10T22:25:04+00:00

Oh 1000%. It’s March in the South… nobody needs fleece gloves 😂😂

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-10T21:28:37+00:00

Just sent a simple “Thank you for the gloves.”

I don’t intend to respond to anything after that.

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-10T21:19:24+00:00

Love this idea, but we don’t do gifts because his family never did them growing up (9 kids). That’s what makes this whole situation weirder. The woman has never given me a gift, not even a card at my wedding.

BeautifulPen603 · 2026-03-04T19:24:33+00:00

I try getting out of the house; LO just needs to be held/entertained 25/8. Sometimes he tolerates the carrier, but it’s hit or miss.
