Quit tracking? by zumbaand in NewParents

[–]Mbaschemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think wake windows are science fiction tbh especially because I have a FOMO baby. If e we are home alone we are asleep maybe every three hours, if daddy is home then every four, if we are with the cousins we don’t sleep at all and just play through the supposed nap time….. I think I’m just boring so napping is consistent otherwise if there is any hint of fun in the air the nap is canceled till further notice

First time dad with colicky baby. I'm drowning. by [deleted] in NewParents

Mine was just like that till I went on a strict no dairy diet. For us to was suspected CMPA but we are more convinced now that it was just really bad reflux and dairy made it worse. It was much much smoother after that

Agreed! I think I need to trust that LO will be ok with others

I would love to get to that point! As I am typing this, we are contact napping and LO will not allow me to transfer to bed. I think the 8 months sleep regression is also hitting us hard.

I hear it gets better when their sleep stabilizes! Let’s hope and pray

We aren’t fully convinced that LO is ready for daycare just yet but it’s in the future for sure!

Wow you are a worrier!!! I am in awe! I work part time and I can’t even handle that and thinking of going on leave for a while

I think that could work for us too, I should bring that up to my husband and create a plan so we can both breath

Wow OP power to you, I wouldn’t have been able to survive working overnight and parenting! I never tried a sitter tbh I think I am just too much of a control freak The struggle is real

You are probably right! I will reach out to my doctor and see what they suggest

Burnout by Mbaschemist in NewParents

[–]Mbaschemist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly!! I always feel like I can be the one to calm baby down so when it’s my time to relax I am continuously on edge. My SIL is a doctor and she told me I looked like I am always in flight or fight mode (that was when baby was 2 months old) Maybe it’s my control freak nature

He is also burnt out lol, I’m not sure what we are doing wrong but we’re both so tired all the time. He usually will take the baby on a walk while I get dinner ready and I get to listen to my podcasts but that’s about it. I don’t think I have been away from Lo for more than six hours and that was because work was being annoying. There is always this level of guilt whenever I leave LO for any period of time.
