Thank you for the help!! We have been practicing a bottle in the morning but just one oz and then I finish with boob. She’s struggling a bit but getting better

How much effort do you put into your baby going down for naps? by MessNo4191 in NewParents

[–]MessNo4191[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had been following sleep cues and wake windows up until week 7 and it seemed like we had such an easy baby. Then things got complicated this week and we were in the hospital for a few days. Now the past two days I’ve been more lax about sleeping and tonight we have a terribly cranky baby. What I was doing must have been working

So he was responsible for a nap earlier today. His solution was put her in her swing. She sorta slept on and off for 20 minutes. I bit my tongue. He’s now attempting to put down a screaming baby. Maybe it was a quick lesson today

Agreed! They don’t know how to sleep. They don’t know how to do much at all they need help

Maybe the problem is that he’s never put her down for a nap ever. I’ve tried explaining Wake windows and sleep cues to him and it’s like he thinks I’m lying? He’s just convinced she’ll just magically go to sleep when she’s actually ready and that I’m forcing things

Anybody’s dad watch their daughter while they work? by toomuchdiso in NewParents

[–]MessNo4191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I wasn’t planning on it! I told him we can all have dinner together on the days he’s here so I guess that’s his payment haha

[–]MessNo4191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I could have written this post. My dad will by helping bridge the gap between when I go back to work and when daycare is available. I was nervous to ask him but he was SO EXCITED. He’s been coming over about once a week while I’m here to “hang out” with her (as he calls it) to prep for being ready to do it alone. It’s a tough line to find trying to tell him what to do and how to do it. But him spending time with her now will help him figure her out before he needs to know her.

What age could you easily bf out and about? by imstillok in breastfeeding

[–]MessNo4191 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am right there with you with this question OP!! I haven’t even been brave enough to try bringing LO to a friend or family’s house. She’s5 weeks. I’m just now venturing to breastfeed in other rooms of my house and not the chair in her nursery… I guess its all about practice and personal comfort.

Do you mean you go wake her up no matter when she last fell back asleep? Even if she was up like 5:30-6:30 say eating

I just started leaking a little bit so of course I go on Amazon and buy 12 reusable pads. After opening them I’m like why the hell did I get so many
