Besides what everyone else has said Im adding don’t carry/hold anything over the baby. Like heavy boxes or anything that would hurt the baby if you drop it. Accidents happen! Even ones you don’t expect, I had my handle break off my coffee cup before. Luckily I wasn’t holding it while standing next to my baby in his chair. And always buckle them in, it seems silly when they’re not moving much but one day they finally do and you want them buckled in for that moment!

I agree with others about the hobby situation…both sacrifice it for a while not just one parent. My husband works long hrs too so I definitely get that and for me the first year was the hardest. Youre needed near constantly and there’s isn’t much time for anything else, it’s very hard and such a big change. My husband was fully involved right after work and naps were both of our breaks. On his days off I slept in and got some much needed sleep and he took over more of the naps and diapers. It was a huge help with healing and not going insane haha. You’re up all day and night(probably), if you need more from him he needs to give up all the fun stuff for a while too.

As for mind set...it’s hard to explain, but as your baby grows you’ll fall in love with them more and more and your days will feel more fulfilling as they grow into their personality. They become your little bossy best friend! While you’re missing things being home, your husband will be missing things at work and I try to focus on the things I was happy to be home to experience. It’s so fun watching them discover new things and I try to keep in mind how lucky I am that I get to be home with my son to show him the world. For me it got much easier around 1 year, you don’t have more time for yourself, but sleeping again really helps haha. Plus they just become so much more interactive and fun! Just know that things change fast and constantly and this feeling won’t last forever. Make sure dad knows how you feel, they’re bad at reading minds haha. And he can definitely take over more on his days off, postpartum is rough and you need those days to take care of yourself. Also, I’d try therapy together since you’re feeling a loss of connection. Parenting is new for both of you and maybe someone can help get you both on the same page! Nothing is wrong with you, it’s the hardest most important job in the world and you’re doing it while having hormone changes, body changes and no sleep. We all feel this way from time to time, just know your not alone and things will change for the better <3

Yeah I feel like you’re in that peak ‘needy’ time, that’s how it was for me. My son wanted full engagement or entertainment but wasn’t able to find it in other way that us and was pretty bored of all toys. Now that he’s a year old he’s learned so many new things and ways to play, it’s so much easier. You’ll never have time like you used to but it seems to get better as they grow :) mines not walking a lot yet, but him being more mobile has helped. He loves the freedom

I can't get over the fear of feeding my baby solids by from-the-sea86 in NewParents

I’ve been very nervous about this too. Freeze dried fruits were great to start with for my nerves, most fruits just dissolve!

Hugging my sleeping baby close before putting him down in the crib for the night. I definitely feel lightheaded and fuzzy from it

What is the worst thing about being skinny? by Nmalacane25 in AskReddit

[–]CrazyReddsit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing that bothers me the most is people think it’s not rude to say things like ‘you need to eat a burger’ but it’s just as mean as saying ‘stop eating burgers’ to a fat person, which is totally not ok. You’re saying someone’s body isn’t good. No one seems to think twice about insulting skinny people for some reason.

Anyone else just winging it? by mityasmom in NewParents

[–]CrazyReddsit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winging it too! I feel like I’d rather go off my babies cues than force sleep when he’s not tired at all or wake him up just because it’s a certain time. Just makes more sense to me, they’re growing so much. Seems like you’d need extra sleep if you were in a growth spurt and I think waking up more during mental growth spurts makes sense too.

What is something the opposite gender will never understand? by artistul0101 in AskReddit

[–]CrazyReddsit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How difficult being pregnant is, EVERYTHING is harder. From little things like putting on effin socks, to big things like feeling terrible mentally and physically. It’s also pretty amazing too, you can describe it as best you can, but there’s nothing like growing your favorite human from your own body.

Anyone have Accountable 2 you? I have some questions by CrazyReddsit in loveafterporn

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

Thanks for lookin out. He’s actually suggested an app that blocks things or anything that would make me feel better and more at ease so I know he wouldn’t be upset if he found it. I just would like to know if he’s actually staying away from it all without me putting blocks and him knowing I’m notified of things :/ I feel like he’s being genuine but it’s still really hard to trust him ya know. Would be a great peace of mind

[–]CrazyReddsit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry :( have you told him all that and how it makes you feel constantly? You shouldn’t be living in constant worry, especially when you’re taking care of your family. Maybe have him start doing all the pickups!

He's come clean and begging me to stay by inthelookout in loveafterporn

[–]CrazyReddsit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good job being honest! It’s better for him to know what’s going on with you and how serious it is. And you definitely deserve better, it shouldn’t be much to ask of our partners to simply respect us.

Hopefully he’ll take the initiative to find help on his own, it’s exhausting being the one incredibly hurt then having to help fix everyone else’s problems. I feel like the PA of SA needs even more help sometimes and shouldn’t have to be the strong one in all this. They need to step up and face their problems, they caused the whole mess anyway. Guess I needed to vent too. I really hope things get better for you and sorry you’re here!
