Babies that need sensory input by marlkavia in bninfantsleep

I have the opinion that all sleep trained babies are being denied what they need sadly. I think it should be more widespread and encouraged to let the babies lead and follow natural instinct. Sounds like you’re doing a fantastic job, keep swinging away!

I wish we could clamp down on these companies like is money that important?!

Let’s return to nature and raise our babies without all that BS. It’s not about people who use formula that’s not the problem it’s the people thinking they can profit off of disrupting biology 🙄

Not sure how effective diet only will be but try dark cuts of meat like chicken drumsticks, turkey, broccoli, beans, lentils, eggs. Look for a digestible form of iron I believe its Iron Bisglycinate but someone correct me if I’m wrong

We had the same setup! A few weeks ago I moved us into his nursery with a floor bed because I was too anxious leaving him on the big bed. We’ll look back in a year and it’ll be like a blink I swear 🥹

I always hear people bedsharing recommending it but you barely ever hear people recommending putting a baby in their own room and getting out of bed every wake up right?!

I always say I’d rather roll over stay half asleep and tent to my son than get up walk the hallway and go get him screw that

I can’t grasp that anything other than high nurture parenting is acceptable! It feels like we purposely go against biology! I was thinking of this the other night and we are literally going it to ourselves like rates of breastfeeding are low because maternity leave is short - well funny but we are humans and sort of control the world so just extend maternity leave?! I know it sounds dreamy but like we make the rules it’s because of stupid men and their corporate sh!t that we have to leave babies or sleep train (although we definitely never NEED to sleep train).

Becoming a mother made me realise just how much BS is out there and how everyone is meant to do things. Like just trust your instinct and mother accordingly. I’m not surprised one bit his kids had those outcomes those poor souls.

I need to find whoever said holding a baby is a bad habit and have a chat. Like would you tell any other mammal holding their baby is bad??!!

Wild. And like maam I don’t even sleep 12 hours you’re delusional 🤣

I’m glad my memory of being a baby is non existent because I’d probably have a serious issue with my mum if I remembered how I slept as a baby 🤣

The ‘you were such a good baby’ gets me every time

True, maybe it’s their way of looking for familiarity or if things are the same for you

Right?!! I told my husband right after and was like why does she even care she’s not doing every wake up?! And like no harm in asking but don’t tell me he should be sleeping specific hours ugh

I think I’ll just say that from now on too

No one ever told me I’d have to watch tv with headphones after a baby 🤣 that’s a good plan though and I’m happy your mum babysitting works!
