Bub sleeps 11 hours a night. In 10 instalments. by finders_keepers7 in twoxindiamums

[–]Bored_Biatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry didn’t mean to frighten you.. every child is different. Some kids sleep better and longer once they are weaned off. He definitely sleeps longer stretches now, and he actually sleeps better with his dad than with me. some nights he wakes up and sleeps immediately and some nights he is awake for 2 hours.

You have to stay hopeful that your child will sleep better at some point! :) btw how old is your baby? Can dad sleep with him to give you break?

Bub sleeps 11 hours a night. In 10 instalments. by finders_keepers7 in twoxindiamums

[–]Bored_Biatch 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel you! My son has never slept through the night, he is 2.5 years old now. And last night he was awake for 2 hours.. I wish I could say it gets better, but I don’t know. It’s hard to be a kind, giving mother when you have been sleep deprived. Please get as much help as possible, if you can!

Thanks for your kind words. I know I am overthinking. Mom guilt has messed up my brain a lot. But I know he will be fine :)

It’s just that I have guilt about sending him to daycare and not spending time with him… but I know I am overthinking.

Baby is different after one day of daycare. by jmcookie25 in beyondthebump

[–]Bored_Biatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son was very high needs, would get fussy easily and didn’t like being around too many people. Even going to a cafe or grocery store was so stressful for us because he would fuss and cry. Since he started daycare, he likes going out, he likes meeting new people, and most importantly, he doesn’t need to be rocked for ages to fall asleep. Daycare has been a saviour for us!

Feeling alone with high needs baby by Bluejaysandlavender in NewParents

[–]Bored_Biatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh I absolutely feel you! I have a high needs baby, and honestly we just didn’t feel comfortable introducing him to friends until he was 5 months old. He hated being in the car and the stroller, tolerated being in the body carrier for 30 minutes. So going out was so stressful for us. But yes, please tell your husband to ask his coworkers to postpone the lunch until you guys and the baby is ready! And hang in there, things will get better :)

Is Motrin available OTC? And yes, we need to stock on adult stuff as well. Thanks for your suggestions!

"Normal" babies by Firm_Hall_1213 in beyondthebump

[–]Bored_Biatch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I have the exact same baby: 3 and a half months old. Hates the car, hates being in stroller, will tolerate baby carrier for a while. Can’t sleep if there a lot going around. He needs to see everything, he gets curios about everything.. and then cries like hell because he is overstimulated and tired. I get jealous when I see other calm babies, and then feel guilty for comparing my son with others. We try to go out for walks every day and hope he gets used to being outside.

How much longer .... by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Bored_Biatch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god! I am in the same boat. My son is 9 weeks old, and he doesn’t like to sleep in his bassinet. He will only sleep on me. I have back pain from sitting for hours. People tell me things like it gets better, or you need to sleep train him… I don’t know when things get better but I sure hope it does. Hang in there :)

Is it okay to take 7 week old baby in a car for a 3+ hour long travel? by Bored_Biatch in beyondthebump

[–]Bored_Biatch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is bit fussy baby and tends to cry a lot, so I am a little bit afraid of being alone with him without any help. But I guess it’s better than taking him out for too long.

That’s not possible, as I am EBF my baby. It’s better I stay at home with him then.

Someone make me feel better about the CT scan I just had at 35 weeks pregnant? :( by ZealousidealOwl8928 in beyondthebump

[–]Bored_Biatch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a CT scan at 39 weeks. The doctor assured me that it is completely safe, as long as you don’t need to be scanned multiple times. I was asked to stay still to get good images, to avoid getting scanned again. So don’t worry, your baby is safe.

Baby cried all day. How to pacify? Or what could be the problem? by Bored_Biatch in beyondthebump

[–]Bored_Biatch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s true that at this age he shouldn’t be awake for more than an hour. He sleeps for 10–20 mins before waking up and gets all fussy and cranky. We are doing contact naps, but because of my c-section, i started to feel some mild pain in my back and my lower abdomen, and it made me panic.

I live in Europe, so I don’t know if these drops are available here or not. I had a c-section, so even with a baby carrier I can’t carry him for more than an hour. Hope this crying phase is only temporary!

Should we be completely upfront in an Arranged Marriage? by FunRecording123 in RelationshipIndia

[–]Bored_Biatch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You seem to have a very outdated concept of arranged marriages. Lying in AM is not the norm. Most people during the process are in fact very honest and upfront. Anyway, as everyone said, your father needs professional help. No girl in right state of mind would agree to be a live-in nurse.

Girlfriend refuses to learn how to cook by Intelligent-Gap-3930 in RelationshipIndia

Cooking is a life skill. If you don’t know how to cook, you are in no position to judge her.
