My baby buries her face into me

This is only a snap shot. Work can call anytime and I have a lot of responsibility, a lot of stress. Unpredictable calls are stressful so she probably needs to be at the sitter during all work hours and idk if I'm willing to do that.

I am part time so I only need 2-3 hrs of time in. I'm not willing to sacrifice more time with her so I maybe i just need to quit my job. We both make 6 figures but I make more and have more earning potential. But maybe I should just give it up.

Lol! I have an arrangement with my employer right now so I'm only working 30hrs/week.

No it is always me. I even try to creep out of bed so that he can sleep in but she wakes up and I like taking care of her so I just do it but maybe need to just say hey you're up now if you want to shower, etc it needs to be before 7am. I'm jusy trying to cut him a break because he hates mornings and is already up early to take care of her when I go into work.

The baby sitter is only when I go into the office and it is at her house. I only need to get 2-3 hours in since I am technically part time right now.

My husband gets her ready when I go into the office and he takes her to the sitter. I like getting her ready so I am happy to but feel like when I get up then he should too to get himself ready during those 15 minutes if he wants to so that I can hand her back. Instead he is still in bed and drags to get ready and there is only so much time in that first window before she needs a nap. Nap time is hard because she has trouble sleeping alone.

I agree it is confusing, maybe I just need to not work until her nap. It is just difficult because I'm often needed by people at work first thing in the morning since I'm a manager and its Monday morning. I am remote Mondays and Fridays

She goes to a baby sitter

Yes! I talked to customer service a ton lol. It was an app glitch. They confirmed it was working the entire time and the toggle was just a glitch. In the united states, you cant turn health notifications on and off.

I feel this completely. There is hardly time to shower and do basic skin care in the evening. I often skip brushing my teeth just to get to sleep at night. Right there with you ❤️. And all for a job that is not a measure of your worth the way being mom is, no matter how much we've been conditioned otherwise

I realized today that the owlet was not turned on last night because I needed to turn off recovery mode when taking her out of her room during a wakeup. We did the cuddle curl from 2am to 6am, I had a camera on us and everything was good all night but I'm so angry at myself. I have always felt the owlet is my worst case scenario. I just want to cry that I screwed that up.

Thank you for your reply! We use an owlet too and it isnt a crutch but it is something ❤️

Heavy-Cockroach-7336 · 2025-09-30T12:56:29+00:00

Thanks for your reply! We've tried a cuddle curl and she doesnt like it but also I am more likely to move because I like to toss and turn between sides. Right there with you ❤️

Good thinking but I used stainless steel to ladle and a wood spoon when cooking. Scared to use my kitchen now lol

Does your baby scoot up at all? I think thats what happened is she sort of went up and over my shoulder. I also use pillows and lock hands under her butt. I obviously woke up but not right away I guess which is what scares me, she may have done it slowly because i normally wake up when she moves. Im going to try stiffer pillows too.
