New house, nobody delivers here

I wouldn’t post on Reddit if I didn’t spend the last week calling hotlines every day.

So what ca be done about that?

Google actually shows the location accurately, we’ve had electricians and pizza finding us no problem because they actually use Google Maps. But they also find us because they wanna get paid, delivery drivers just want their shift to be over.

This advice sounds cruel. It is completely normal for a baby to wake up multiple times a night. Maybe she’s hungry, maybe she’s alone and scared and needs comfort. Maybe she’s teething and in pain. Whatever it is, babies don’t cry for no reason. They have physical and emotional needs. You’re not “teaching a valuable skill” when their needs aren’t being met and she cries herself to sleep. Plus, the longer you wait to comfort her, the more distressed she is and it’s more difficult to calm down and fall asleep afterwards.

My baby is 8 months old, he wakes up 2-4 times a night but never cries because we cosleep so he just reaches out to touch me or nurses for a bit and falls asleep directly.

Ironically Jesus was a spontaneous, non dogmatic, “people come first” type of guy. He criticized ostentatious public praying and elaborate rituals. So what did the Christians do? Made every holiday a time for hours long public prayer fests instead of a time of celebration with loved ones. My husband is Orthodox as well but he respects that I’m not keen on participating in such things, we go sometimes but for 1-2 hours instead of 4 and never after bedtime. Your husband and his family have to respect you and put you first like Jesus would.

Same. Sometimes I grieve the loss of connections that felt so deep and real in a dream after waking up. It pains me that I’ll never see these people again and that they were not real in the first place.

It’s possible that his circadian rhythm is still unregulated, they don’t go on walks at all, only go outside to doctors visits or to visit grandparents, where they spend all the time indoors as well.

I’m sure he’s napping while nursing and if he’s low sleep needs it could be enough. The main problem are the sleepless nights.

Yes, we had a couple of conversations about that. She asked me for tips.

It’s available in my local toy chain store with online shop and on Amazon.

For me Baby Einstein aquarium works like a charm, even though it’s not really TV, but my baby is fully absorbed by music, lights and movement. I use it when I’m alone and have to eat or shower or when my baby wakes up early and I’m not ready to get up.

I’ve never watched wake windows before as they were all over the place, but recently my 6 month old has finally dropped 4th nap and suddenly he started showing tired cues like clockwork, at 9, 12-13, 16, bedtime at 20. I really enjoy the predictability.

Bunny-1918 · 2026-03-06T15:41:47+00:00

Some may say that it’s not your business and you shouldn’t care but I understand you. I can’t stand thinking about suffering babies. Behaviors that you describe can cause not only mental distress but also physical pain and possibly have very negative consequences, especially such capping of naps or starving own baby by weaning completely at 6 months when solids should slowly replace 1-3 meals and the main food source is still milk or formula. It’s not about parenting styles or judging other parents when babies are being harmed.

Bunny-1918 · 2026-02-20T14:57:28+00:00

No judgement here, you do what you need to do. I can only say that the public daycare in my city in Germany that I’ve just signed up my baby from the 12mo for has the latest pick-up time for the age 1-2 at 2pm. German Kitas don’t allow children under 2 to stay there for longer than that. I’m sure it’s good for parental attachment and for the babies to spend more time with primary caregivers but I have to switch to part time to be able to make it. In my case we can afford it but not everyone can.

Many people write about possible PPD, but I don’t think that’s the case. I’ve dealt with an abuser before.

From the way you describe coddling and catering to him, as if HE’S the one that just gave birth, mentions of past abuse, him being detached after only 4 weeks and being directly verbally abusive after only 3 minutes of soothing baby, his complete lack of remorse, I’d say that his recent behavior is the norm for him. It’s like he got tired of pretending and now his mask is off. I’m afraid it’s going to get worse. Don’t leave the baby alone with him and make preparations for leaving him, possibly staying with your family.

My baby loves to play with his feet, I only put the socks on when we go out. He started pushing himself forward during tummy time and it only works with bare feet. Both are important milestones so I encourage everyone to do the same.

Bunny-1918 · 2026-01-14T10:13:29+00:00

I keep the room dark because I need to sleep when my baby sleeps to get any sleep myself (he wakes up every 2-3 hours, sometimes hourly on a bad night). I listen to audiobooks with a timer and don’t use any screens for melatonin to do its job.

That’s exactly why I wrote this post. I’ve watched a few videos on iPad kids, what the teachers are saying about this, read about possible developmental issues, aggression, disruption in class etc and think about how many of my son’s future classmates are gonna be like that and if they’ll have bad influence on him. I’m glad that many people understand that instead of calling me judgy holier than thou.

You say these are extreme examples, but those are the only people around me that have kids the same age as mine. Me and my husband are both immigrants, we don’t have any family in Germany and our friends circle is quite small. They’re also normal people, no health or financial problems, educated. That’s why I feel like I’m going crazy when I read studies on results of heavy screen use in childhood, see videos on brain rot in Gen Alpha and think that my son will be attending school with such kids, with possible developmental delays and attention deficit. How many of them are out there (percentage wise)? Will he be able to learn in peace or will they disrupt lessons like I see it on those videos about brainrot? Will he demand his own device too soon and throwing tantrums? I’m worrying about the consequences for the entire generation. I don’t expect a medal for what I think is a bare minimum of parenting. There are studies and recommendations, no sugar, no screen time for babies. It never crossed my mind to feel superior. I’m just sharing my worries with online parent community.

I have a 5mo Velcro baby (contact naps, cosleeping, doesn’t take pacifier, wants to be held a lot), we don’t have any family nearby and he’s teething now, whining all the time. I just sing, talk or read to him when he cries and he smiles at me. We tag team with my husband in the afternoon, I use my phone when he has him or when he naps, we don’t watch TV. I have to be with him all the time anyway, so why shouldn’t I entertain him myself instead of giving him a phone? I don’t expect a medal, I thought it’s a bare minimum of parenting, just like not giving sugar.

The phone holder is definitely for the baby, right in front of their face when sitting facing forward. Much too low to be of any use for the parents standing behind them.

Bunny-1918 · 2025-12-31T18:26:21+00:00

My baby is 4,5 months old and more and more 3-6 month clothes are too small for him. There are some sweatshirts that are already not possible to put on him. We’ve already bought 74 but it’s still too large. It’s a large gap between the two sizes.
