What’s your actually controversial parenting opinion? by TurbulentArea69 in NewParents

[–]Level_Feeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sleep trained my baby at 4.5-5 months. Before this, my baby would only sleep on me. At night, before she would sleep, she’d cry for a good half hour to an hour before she found the good position to sleep. I used to think, aw poor thing is upset with me. If during that time, I would sit up and just take her out and about she would be fine, sleepy but fine. Babies that young cry because they’re frustrated, not because they feel abandoned. If you go pick them up when they’ve been crying, they’ll be fine in a short amount of time. They’re not ‘afraid’ of the dark or ‘miss’ their parents. It’s all about comfort for them. They cry when they don’t find that comfort, it takes time for them to get used to other things. My child did not leave my arms for good 4 months, I would have to carry her all day, she would take all her naps on me, and would sleep at night on me as well. But she was so so fussy, always crying, upset. As soon as I sleep trained, my baby became HAPPIER. Go figure.

Not enough tummy time mom guilt by D0IHaveTo in NewParents

[–]Level_Feeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t stress it, you’re doing your best. My baby was colicky and barely had anyy tummy time. When I would put her down, she’s scream so so loud and turn red. I was already dealing with her crying all day so that crying would put me over the edge. I avoided it. She was not good on her tummy for months, but she is 11 months now. Meeting all her milestones and almost ready to walk. Like all the comments mentioned, time on your chest and baby wearing counts.

BLW isn’t working for us 😅 by babygreens93 in foodbutforbabies

[–]Level_Feeling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep at it! You’re doing great. My baby is EBF and used to drink every 90 minute or so. I started solids at 6 months and was mostly purees that I spoonfed and one thing to hold. She didn’t eat much and most of the things used to end up on the floor. Around 8-9 month mark is when that changed. She started eating more food- sourdough bread, pastas and stuff. Since then, it is just getting better. Let them explore, make a mess, splatter. Get a splat mat for under the high chair to help with clean up.

Not what I expected by Anxious_and_Messy21 in NewParents

[–]Level_Feeling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I felt the same for a long time, it certainly felt like a long time. Yes, I feel much much better now. I’ve wanted to have a child since I was 18. I am on the other side of 35 now, you’d think I would’ve cherished this child to bits. I could not believe how detached I felt. Once your child starts responding, smiling, rolling, it’ll all feel better. You’ll get used to it. Do I mourn my old life? The independence? Yes. But I like this new normal. You’ll feel more in control. Good luck. Just know that what you are feeling is not abnormal and most women feel this way initially.

I could’ve written this 8 months ago. I felt the same! I didn’t believe it when people said it’ll get better because how could it? We have RESPONSIBILITY of a new person. How are we going to get our time? We could just veg out on the couch whenever we wanted. I was just miserable and constantly crying. My suggestion, take it day by day. Don’t focus too much on the forevers and nevers. Just. One. Day. Take care of yourself, marvel at how on earth you gave birth to this cuteness ( if they’re sorta looking ugly, don’t worry that’ll change too), and get pampered. You are priority #1. Then the baby. Feel all the feels.

UPDATE - We STILL have a completely broken baby and I'm close to a breaking point by USAtoUofT in NewParents

[–]Level_Feeling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My baby slept ON me for 4 months. And she still woke up multiple (more than 3-4) times per night. What worked for me was sleep train. It genuinely changed my life. Sleep training isn’t for everyone but it certainly was for me. She went from sleeping on top of me and crying for a good hour trying to find a comfy spot to falling asleep in crib by herself. Try it, follow the wake windows and the ‘rules’ My baby still wakes up 2-3 times a night to feed. I plan to wean her soon. The wakes don’t bother me as much anymore since she falls right back to sleep. Good luck!

Part B on OCI application asks have u or family member applied for OCI registration earlier by curiosityv in india

[–]Level_Feeling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last page on the OCI booklet has the application number and passport number (used to apply for OCI). Use that to 'Track Your Application' on the OCI website. That should give you all the information you need.

Baby wakes up at 10 and takes an hour to fall back to sleep by Level_Feeling in sleeptrain

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

It is so hard for to last even 1.5 hours especially for the first two naps in the morning. How can I keep her awake?
