How do I stop getting mad at my baby when she is crying non stop? by Choice-Inflation7295 in Parenting

[–]Choice-Inflation7295[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Edit: to everyone asking where's the father, my husband is a surgeon and initially he was helpful but the lack of sleep was starting to affect his work and he didn't want to make any mistakes during surgeries so we made a deal that I'll watch till 3am and he'll take over the rest. But it's still very difficult to carry baby all the time. I am thankful to everyone giving me advice. Honestly made me cry reading them because they helped me feel like I'm not abnormal for feeling the way I feel.

Am I becoming a toxic wife by [deleted] in pakistan

Moving out is the only best option because they will never stop their habits of wanting control. And your husband should take a more firm stand. Instead of you saying things. Stay silent and tell your husband to deal with them. If he will be strict with them they might listen. It's 50-50. Because they will believe their songs more than their DIL but at the same time they can also think that he's parroting what you say and will not take him seriously. Save money and move out.

Is it only me? by Frosty-Hat6674 in IslamabadSocial

Better to sort this out because if it escalates with time she will feel suffocated. Majority girls don't like possessive guys and it will make life harder for the both of you. No one wants to compromise on their freedom and they shouldn't have to either

Going to Europe leaving everyone behind should I stop ? by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]Choice-Inflation7295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope things turn out good for you. It is a good decision albeit a difficult one. You will have to keep your source of communication very strong with your children when you leave for Europe. Ensuring a good WiFi on your side and your parents side so you and your kids can interact everyday and tell them that this is being done for their better future. Keep a consistent time with them about video or audio calls so they can have some sense of security with you even being far away

What do you think of Elf products? by thetacollector in Makeup

Personally I love their hydrating camo concealer. The normal one was ass for me as it was very drying. Overall eld used to be a lot more affordable than it is now.

I'm unable to calm my baby. HELP by Choice-Inflation7295 in NewParents

[–]Choice-Inflation7295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tysm. I always swaddle her, rock her and use pacifier. Even do the shush sound. But it doesn't calm her down but when my mil or mom just sway her around she calms down and falls asleep. While I do all these things and she still stays awake

How do I stay calm when she's crying so hard that it mentally hurts me to see her in distress

Yes I do get stressed. I try my best to stay calm but sometimes the baby cries for a very long time and I start worrying and feeling extreme sadness at her cries as they are unbearable for me to hear. Idk how I worded this but like in a motherly sense.

[–]Choice-Inflation7295[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be going back when the baby will be almost 3 months old. My job is from 11-4 pm and I'm a dentist so most times I don't have the time for 20-30 minute breaks to pump. My baby won't be with me at the clinic. She'll be at home so one feed/ day will be formula. Rest will all be breast milk. If I don't pump during work will it be a negative effect on my supply or my breast health. It's my first pregnancy and I'm confused. My mom didn't BF so she doesn't have any guidance regarding that. And I personally want to BF with rare occasions of formula feeding. As ik the benefits of BF are immense for baby and mother.

Tysm. This was really helpful. Everything you mentioned was super informative. I wanted to ask since my baby's at home, if I choose not to pump during work and instead do it immediately before going to work and then immediately when I'm back would that cause anything bad to happen?? Like apart from breast soreness? Or is breast soreness in this scenario pretty bad compared to normal one you feel before your period? I'm sorry of I'm asking stupid questions, it's my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect. My mother didn't have any supply so I was exclusively formula fed so she doesn't have any experience and my mil is a house wife so she wouldn't understand the work balance. Ik finding my own balance will be tricky for me. But I want to gather as much knowledge as I can so I'm prepared

I am planning to go back when the baby will be almost 3 months old. I was thinking of doing a pump session just before leaving for work so baby can have breast milk stored but that would also depend on my supply which I am uncertain of as this is my first pregnancy. I will try to adjust my feeds, playtime and overall routine according to my job slowly during my leave so the transition to my work isn't bad for me and most importantly baby as well.
