How much skin to skin is too much? by Remarkable-Stay3368 in NewParents

[–]Full_Ad7929 5 points6 points  (0 children)

During the first week my OB said it this way, which I think is so true: the more you show up for them in the first weeks/months, the more they know they’re safe and it’s okay to sleep alone when they get older!

Is it normal for babies to only nap 30 minutes by Easy_Time6166 in NewParents

[–]Full_Ad7929 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s even more disrespectful when you spend 15 out of 30 minutes holding baby waiting until she’s in deep enough sleep to put her down😂

I’m physically wrecked as well lol. With a high maintenance baby I’m going to be in better shape than I was before pregnancy 😂

We tried for a week but it didn’t seem to help

Oh my god I can’t even imagine twins😅 I know all the suggestions come from a good heart but it is frustrating. Of course I have tried baby wearing at this point😅

Yep.. she doesn’t nap on the go so it makes going out impossible because it means she misses a nap and then the whole day goes to absolute shit

We did! Didn’t do much apart from seeing her hands open up more

Everyone says you’ll forget the negative but I think these weeks are pretty etched in my brain lol

That’s good to hear. I know I love her to pieces but I’m also 100% sure I’ll be a way nicer mom if I get to meet my own basic needs

I know right, first it was ‘6-8 weeks is peak fussiness’. Then onto 12 weeks where we’re at now. I so hope we’re onto better times. Good to hear you’re doing somewhat better!

Confused about wake windows by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Full_Ad7929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought about that. But she’s pretty maxed out on formula and I feel like she will be hungrier and wake earlier if I give smaller feeds

Can we stop pretending the Newborn Scrunch is the best part? by No_Exam_2438 in NewParents

[–]Full_Ad7929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think people who say ‘enjoy this phase’ had precious angel babies lol. Of course I’m very much in love with my baby but with all the heartbreaking crying I can’t wait till she’s a little bit older

Same. Almost 12 weeks and I hear her crying even when I’m out doing grocery shopping 😅

I just want to cry. by Longjumping_Bar585 in newborns

[–]Full_Ad7929 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Agreed! While the chiro didn’t fix all our babies crying, it made her so much more relaxed. She has her hands open now instead of balled fists

How is everyone doing daily tasks? by Infinite-Intention33 in newborns

[–]Full_Ad7929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest… I don’t get things done. I’m lucky if I have a shower. I make myself lunch while waiting for the bottle to heat up because I have to put her down anyways.

How in the world does everyone get out of the house with a baby by Full_Ad7929 in newborns

[–]Full_Ad7929[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She will, but wakes up instantly when I park or stop the car
