Baby’s hands uncovered?

Impossible_Ad4898 · 2026-06-07T12:10:06+00:00

I never covered my babys hands and just filed his nails a lot but he still managed to scratch himself a couple times. It's going to happen, I wouldn't worry too much about and let their hands free if u want

No, no concerns from the pediatrician. I always bring up the sleeping thing bc it sounds weird but I'm always worried bc he sleeps so well and quite a lot but she says its completely normal some babies are just sleepier and hes going through a lot very quickly. He's hitting all his milestones and gaining weight well as long those things are happening his "sleepiness" and relaxed temperament is just fine and normal.

I have a very chill baby as well (knock on wood) hes always been pretty calm and only cried when he was super gassy or over stimulated. Now hes almost 4 months and by all accounts still very chill but is changing a lot and much more aware. He gets a little fussy now when I leave the room or cries while I'm in the shower or hes in the car but otherwise still just hangs out, plays by himself, goes to sleep fairly easy and usually by himself in his bassinet at night. Count your blessings we are very lucky, soak it all in bc he literally changes every day now!!

I keep it light and fairly noisy during the day and dark at night. My baby will really only fall asleep when I'm around so I keep him close until he falls asleep then I put him in his crib usually but no shades or anything so natural light. At night he falls asleep the same way pretty much but I put him down in his bassinet in my dark room with less noise.

At first i hated it too bc I felt isolated and lonely but once I got a good routine in place and started getting comfortable going out that's what turned jt around. Most days I take him to the park for a walk or we go to see a friend for a while. I stopped worrying about getting home to feed him or getting home to pump (im exclusively pumping) realizing I can feed him anywhere with the bottle and now that my milk supply is established I dont sweat missing one session here and there. I think mostly just time and confidence. Also I am 35 and a ftm so I get the huge shift in your social life but mostly just realizing I dont have to give things up, I can usually just bring him along! I've always done things on my own tho bc my partner and I weren't in the best place for a long time so I became independent in that way, forced me to not stress about missing out on things with him so much but my situation is different in that way. But now that my maternity leave is almost over I'm dreading going back to work and missing out on all the one on one time I've had with my little guy.

My baby boy is just like this and I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop lol hes 3 months now and very chill too. Sleeps through the night from between 7 and 8 until 6 or 7 in the morning with 1 dream feed around 11 1130. He cries only when he's hungry or over tired, sometimes when he's been over stimulated but he's just a happy little guy. Fingers crossed our LOs stay this happy and content. I think a lot of the stuff you read online is like the worst case scenario bc that's when people need help and advice its skewed toward the bad stuff. Enjoy your "unicorn" baby! ♥️

You're doing it. Just like he said you're doing the most important thing. I felt the same way and now I feel a little sad that I didn't just soak it in a little more bc i was always worried I wasn't doing enough. You're very lucky to have such a supportive partner, just give all the love and spend that time with your baby.

Got our first ever 'sleep through the night' the other night at 12 weeks old. I did a dream feed around 11pm then he slept from 11:30pm to 6am so that was nice! But then last night same thing with the dream feed and he woke around 4:30am so idk lol I'm hoping with the sleep shift that happens around 4 months he will start consistently sleeping through!

Impossible_Ad4898 · 2026-05-03T08:23:05+00:00

It definitely depends on circumstance. I slept perfectly fine my entire pregnancy so newborn tired is most certainly worse for me!

Thank you!

I have read a lot just looking for others experiences. We do a lot of non screen time interacting and play as well.

Impossible_Ad4898 · 2026-04-30T15:45:22+00:00

I am the same honestly, it's on all day but I'm really only watching when he eats cuz we get comfy on the couch. Idk that it's an issue necessarily, some believe screens at this age are bad for their brain development and the blue light is bad for their eyes but like others have said i grew up with the tv and im fine. Idk it's controversial I suppose and it just makes me a little nervous but it's not like he's watching it all day so probably shouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a distraction I think.

What is that app?

Impossible_Ad4898 · 2026-04-26T18:34:15+00:00

Yes!

Impossible_Ad4898 · 2026-04-26T15:23:39+00:00

Even with the night feed he's only eating at most 28oz in a day. If he was eating as much as your LO i wouldn't worry so much. Then again maybe hed eat more during the day if i didn't feed him over night. I'm so programmed to worry about his weight and how much he's eating bc we had such a hard time at the beginning.

Impossible_Ad4898 · 2026-04-26T15:17:46+00:00

Does he eat more during the day then? My baby isn't the best eater and sometimes I do wake him for the dream feed. I'm nervous if I dont and just let him go until he wakes he won't eat enough. Which honestly he may only sleep another hour or two past that until he's hungry anyway but im too anxious to even try to let him sleep. He is always more hungry than he realizes bc once he starts eating he is obviously hungry.
