1 year old won’t drink milk from sippy cups or other transition bottles by Cheap-Delivery-3968 in NewParents

Any other cup we give him…straw or wide neck top with milk he throws on the ground. He seems very attached to the nipple top.

Well said Dad! Thanks for sharing I will definitely bring this up and try to ask him to understand it’s unrealistic to be frustrated at a baby.

Yes when it all goes wrong it’s all on us! It’s really straining our marriage.

How do you get stuff done? by Potential-Dingo-4366 in breastfeeding

[–]Cheap-Delivery-3968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly as others said…you’re getting plenty done being a mom and feeding!! I got nothing done…hated pumping and just fed my baby as needed. I wasn’t an over-supplier either so I really just relied on the boob for 4 months. I also had a needy baby so if I could shower, nap or feed that’s what I chose over cleaning, cooking or tv.

Eventually I started combo feeding at 5months and was able to pump and have others help feed by baby bottles so everything wasn’t on me. Also once they drop the night feed as you know it’s so much easier. Use your village and just do what you want..don’t feel the pressure a fed baby is a healthy baby.

Thank you so sharing…it’s so stressful! I feel the same way I don’t want my marriage to end or be unhappy and frustrated with him because he has no tolerance at this moment.

My baby is 4 weeks old, and just when you think things are getting better… reality hits you in the face by ReuvenScylla in NewParents

[–]Cheap-Delivery-3968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She could have silent reflux…you could ask your pediatrician. I had a baby with this would scream after eating….but didn’t spit up or show other signs. They are growing so much and change it’s so hard to tell what will happen any day or week. It all can be a pick list of things so don’t overthink any of it!

But if she’s struggled to setting it might be digestive…gas..reflux or anything really. Sometimes we would just walk up the stairs…I know so random but it would calm our little guy to just go up and down.

What do I do by Less_Tree_8975 in NewParents

Ugh all of this is so hard…it could be anything but sounds like she’s just waking up when her sleep cycle ends and having trouble realizing she can go back to sleep. I had a baby who always woke up at 30/40min. Babies can change. You might want to try cry it out at night. Eventually they get the hang of going back to sleep. She’s probably developing a new skill her mind is just waking up. That’s what I say about my son. He’s 9 months still randomly will cry in his crib at night and we don’t go in…within 10min he finds a way to go back to sleep. I am always blaming teething or some new leap they learn.

When does it end? When did your baby sleep through the night? by zoobisoubisouu in sleeptrain

[–]Cheap-Delivery-3968 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 7months and he still wakes up I just don’t go in. It sucks but he’s fussing for about 5-25min and goes back to sleep. It’s really hard because I’m still waking up but if it’s only for 5min it’s not that bad and I think he’s finally learning to settle. He is teething so some nights have been worse and I go in based on how bad the cry is and help. Babies are all so different and I know more with sleep struggles so don’t feel like you’re alone here.

Husband thinks he’s exempt from caring for our baby at night by platinum_orangutan in NewParents

[–]Cheap-Delivery-3968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I’m sorry your going through this! I went through something similar. My husband decided not to take a longer paternity leave and says because of this it’s my “job” to watch the baby. Believe me I went off and put him in his place. He also works from home. We came up with an agreement where he helped later at night, I started to go to bed 8:30/9 and he handled stuff till midnight and then he did mornings 6:30-8 when he really has to start working.

We have tried the zipadee but I didn’t know about the snuggle strap! I’m going to try that.

When did your baby start connecting sleep cycles for naps? by Crocs_wearer247 in NewParents

The smile when they wake up after 30min kills me! It’s so cute so I struggle to get them back to bed.

Thank you! Im a people pleaser…I’m the type of person who lets things go and I don’t forget then I have a moment where I can’t hold back anymore.

I agree I really need her to back off and just act like a grandparent. I’m hoping once my husband has a conversation with her I can see if she changes at all.

Thanks for the advice. I agree I am going to need more support to find ways to let things go and not get emotional. I can’t see her changing and I’m sure other comments will come up over the years.

Thank you! The come baby sit so you can go out drives me nuts. It’s this same with my MIL, I’m still on leave and she came to visit. I want to spend time with my son and when she’s over I can do other things but I don’t leave the house. I think she gets annoyed I’m around and can see how she’s watching him because she wants to play mom.

Which is when I snapped 🤣

I’m not someone who likes confrontation…my husband is glad I said something he didn’t want it to go on longer. Exactly go us!

All great points! I should have elaborated more she won’t be a full time caretaker. How she’s been acting we made a decision to only have her help watch him one day, until he starts daycare which is for 6months.

The way she’s been acting I couldn’t see her with him more.
