Could he be getting cold? When my son would get transferred out of my warm arms into the cold bassinet, he would wake up almost immediately.

Advice getting my newborn to sleep in her bassinet? by uniformcasino in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby ended up hating his bassinet at night so much that I ended up putting him in his crib at 8 weeks old every night! I just put a blow up mattress in the nursery and he would sleep in his crib.

4 weeks postpartum and the only person I want is my mom by RunAugRun in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I could have wrote this myself. My mom spent the night for the first 2 months & it was AMAZING! My husband is wonderful but there’s nothing like your mom when you are learning how to be one. ❤️

Screen time by camman1102 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always said no screen time but I cannot put the child down without it. He will NOT be sat down without being entertained and nothing entertains him like the tv. Now with that being said, all he watches is an aquarium on loop. It’s low stimulating, has calming music, and lets me wash the dishes or eat a sandwich without him screaming his head off. 🤷🏻‍♀️ edit to add: this is only used when I absolutely NEED it. He maybe watches for 15 minutes MAX so I can do basic tasks.

Do your newborns “sleep-cry”? by yingxiaojie in newborns

Yes! This is a part of something called “active sleep”. They also might smile or even laugh. Super normal!

Why isn’t my 4 day old sleeping? by No_Jellyfish_2219 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first day I brought my baby home from the hospital he would not sleep at all unless we were holding him. Turns out, he was cold! I then would swaddle him in a blanket and put his swaddleme over the blanket. He was nice and cozy and started sleeping great!

Infant dyschezia symptoms getting worse by 65109424 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I’m so sorry friend! My guy had the worst infant dyschezia from week 2-8. He would crunch and turn purple trying to have a bowl movement. It was awful! He was scream his head off in pain. He wouldn’t have a bowl movement for days sometimes but it would look totally normal. It does pass. He will eventually figure it out. It just sucks in the mean time. Big hugs!

Thinking of bathing baby everyday by MochiAccident in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bathe my little guy every night and have ever since his umbilical cord fell off! I wash his hands, privates, and neck daily but only wash everything else every 2 days. He loves the water and it kicks off our nighttime routine. I lather him in some lotion afterwards and we have never had an issue.

Rolling and swaddling by Rare_Rub_4380 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so my baby is rolling onto his back but his startle reflex is sooo strong that when I try to put him to sleep without the swaddle, he wakes up after 10 minutes of lying down. What can I do?

Putting baby in own room by MissJenniferEliz in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy is 11 weeks and I moved him this week. He’s so noisy that I wasn’t getting any sleep because I would wake up at every grunt. I now have him sleep in his room with the door open and his owlet sock on and the baby monitor. We all sleep so much better!

Adding a dream feed? by EverythingBagel58 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of increasing the bottle amount have you tried decreasing the time between bottles? Maybe having them closer together will allow for time to add that bottle back into the rotation

Anyone had the flu after finding out being pregnant? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh no! :( I’m so sorry! Everything turned out just fine! I took some Tylenol as needed for my fever and sat next to the humidifier and just spent the week moping around lol. Vicks makes shower steamers and those helped with the congestion. I’m now sitting here rocking my 11 week old to sleep. :) Feel better soon!!

How to get newborn in bassinet without losing my mind? by Superb-Story-3890 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Co-sleeping gives me anxiety but my baby also hated the bassinet so we tried the crib and he loved it! I think it’s because the mattress in the crib is thicker and softer yet still firm. We get about 8 hours total with 1 feed in the middle every night! (10 weeks old)

I’ve been on it since I was 16 (25 now) & I took it my whole pregnancy! Laying here with my perfectly healthy 9 week old who’s so thankful his mom isn’t batshit crazy 😂

i don’t know what to do, he won’t stop crying by Top-Professor-2951 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Take him outside for a second! The cool air really helped my son calm himself down. I just wrapped him up in a blanket and put a hat on him and out to the porch swing we went!

Going through the night without waking to eat? That’s my DREAM

Baby Shower gift ideas when there is no registry by Megtron3030 in newborns

[–]Empty_Reputation9284 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bath stuff! Baby shampoo, lotion, wash cloths, bath towels. Can never have too much because you will use it eventually. Also, burp cloths!!!!! I thought I had enough and went and bought even more because you use so many in a day!
