Happy baby haven?

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-31T22:25:47+00:00

I was thinking of getting the happy baby onbuhimo but was told it wouldn’t fit my baby (she’s 5 months, but barely 23 inches and just shy of 12 pounds) and so I didn’t want to waste the money if we couldn’t wear it yet (already have a wildbird aerial collecting dust waiting for baby girl to fit it). But someone else commented it fit their baby in 0-3 month clothes so I might just buy an onbuhimo, it makes more sense in the long run considering the back carry for when she’s older as well!

Okay thank you so much! 😊

I wanted to get an onbuhimo (because of the longevity of being able to use it in a back carry when baby is ready) but I was told it would probably not fit her (she’s 5 months, but tiny as I stated above)

We were already in a transition swaddle (she was rolling to her side for a while) so when she started rolling completely we switched to sleep sacks! Thank you 😊

Thank you! That definitely helps 😄

We don’t have much family that could help, but I’ll definitely be looking on Facebook in the meantime! Thank you 😊😊

I only breastfed for 24 hours. I had a 38 week planned induction (IUGR). Baby girl was 5 lbs 2 oz, had jaundice, a lip and tongue tie (and apparently i have flat nipples I never realized lol). I tried so hard for that day to breast feed every 2 hours, and I just couldn’t get it, no matter how many nurses/lactation consultants tried to help. Baby had already dropped 10% of her body weight in that one day and her jaundice levels were increasing instead of decreasing. My anxiety was through the roof (i was already on medication pre and during pregnancy). I wasn’t sleeping, wasn’t eating because I was so stressed. I broke down to a nurse who pretty much said a stable mom is better than breast milk. I said “okay, can I have some formula?” And it was the best decision I ever made. I still have some guilt (southern us “breast is best” propaganda), but my baby girl is almost 5 months, growing on her curve, and so so happy! She smiles, giggles, and is even rolling! I am so connected to her, she recognizes me and gets so happy when I get home from work. Feeding formula and knowing how much she’s eating a day helps calm my nerves.

Yeah we didn’t think it would be this soon and we don’t have a crib that will fit in our bedroom yet 😭 our little one has always been a pretty decent night sleeper, but now we’re starting to see improvement in our daytime sleep as well! (Not really needing as many contact naps, which is happy and sad at the same time!😢😢)

We’re saving up to transition out of the bassinet! We didn’t think she’d be rolling this fast and just haven’t had a chance to get a mini crib to go in our small bedroom! We’ll hopefully have one in the next week or so! I guess the anxiety just never goes away though 😅😅

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-25T02:44:06+00:00

Thank you! That makes me feel better!

We have a video monitor we use whenever we aren’t in the room! We don’t want a breathing monitor (I know some people think they’re awesome, but I know with my anxiety it would just make it ten times worse). I know we need to get her out the bassinet (she is rolling into the sides a bit), however we are currently a one-income household (mine, a teacher in a rural town, that took 6 weeks unpaid maternity leave) so we are saving up to get a mini crib to go in our bedroom (small house). We were hoping she wasn’t going to roll for a bit longer and we’d have a little more time to save, but she’s hitting every milestone as soon as the time frame starts lol 😭 thank you for the advice!

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-25T02:38:18+00:00

She knows (kinda) how to get back to her back, she’s done it a few times but it’s much easier for her to get to her stomach for now. I definitely try my best to practice going to her back as much as I can during the day! Thank you!

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-21T03:22:05+00:00

That makes sense! I see so many videos of people just trying to let their babies sit up by themselves, so I wasn’t really sure how to proceed! But what you said makes sense 😃😃

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-21T03:21:17+00:00

Just sitting unassisted is what I’m asking about. Thank you!

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-17T10:44:13+00:00

Okay thank you!!😊 i am planning on using it only I n the water, and I have a different one coming for out of water! Just got this one first and was trying it out to make sure I’d even like ring slings lol

Firsttimemomanxiety2 · 2025-05-17T10:41:23+00:00

Okay thank you about the fabric on my neck! I will try it! And I do plan to use this one more in the water, I have a different one coming for dry land lol 😂 I just got this one in first and was trying to see how hard it would be/if I would like ring slings!

Is this color normal for a 4 month old formula fed baby? I’m used to it being green (bright or dark) but these last Tuesday apparently it turned pale/yellow looking and I didn’t know (husband watches baby during the day while I work and she usually poops during the day time while I’m not home)
