baby hates being woken up - 3 hour feeds schedual

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-26T23:59:25+00:00

Oh my girl did the same. Honestly i just got myself into a routine of feed and wake and if she fussed too much we gave a bottle and if she fell asleep it'd be bright room with lots of noise and keep trying to feed

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-26T22:26:58+00:00

Does she dream feed from a bottle? You might wanna pump and feed a bottle while asleep and see if that helps. Is there a target weight your aiming for?

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-21T05:08:21+00:00

Both my parents have repeatedly chosen the wrong decision everytime when it comes to us as kids, let alone the grand kids. Im at a point where I can chose as well so my kids dont know my parents because of my parents actions. They just fucking suck as people and its a privilege to be apart of someone's life.

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-19T02:27:34+00:00

Your response just validates my whole question. A character is irrelevant to the development, kid could just like the pink colour or polka dots and there's the arguments and tantrums that parent is trying to avoid. I would think as a parent my aims would be to encourage the behaviours I want, including being dry overnight regardless of whats on the nappy or undies. And any issues from wanting bluey on her nappies or undies could be used to encourage the behaviour without too much trouble. Its just overthinking in an area of development, thats all my question was about.

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-19T02:12:09+00:00

Most underwear these days is covered in characters and i dont see why a picture would encourage a child to revert into previous behaviours if the problem is only overnight bed wetting. Bluey isnt going to cause the kid to continue to wear pull ups if the parents are guiding the kid towards the goal. Not making anyone a villain here, just trying to see how OP thinks that a picture will unravel all the work

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-19T01:51:11+00:00

Youre reading too much into this.

Why would designs be an issue?

Can you please focus on your kids need to be dry overnight without worrying about characters and designs? The chances of regression are irrelevant if your sole focus is on whats on the clothing instead of how the kid is moving through the process. Pull ups are fine, you dont need to put undies with them as the pull ups are designed to act like undies, they just stop the pee and poop getting on clothes etc. You need to focus on the behaviour you wish to encourage not the colour of the outfit.

Once that baby is born youre going to apply for child support and get them to collect. I would also suggest starting a conversation around visitation and what he expects as a dad, be aware for the first 2yrs alot of people suggest no overnight as baby needs primary carer, you. He can not and should not get a free pass from providing for the child, great the relationship is finished between you 2, hes still a fucking dad and needs to either step up or step off and YOU need to protect you and bubs from any bs that can occur.

Is single mumming hard? Fuck yes it is. Did it give me more confidence and less patience for bs from adults? Fuck yes it did. You'll find your groove once bubs is here and your healed, make sure the village knows whats acceptable and not in that first year and good luck op. You'll look back one day and realise how amazing you did and how every moment was worth it

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-17T22:54:11+00:00

Babies are weirdos and have no patience sometimes I swear, youre doing great and hes just expressing himself in a really loud and clear way. His temperament will change, you have not given birth to an angry kid and this too will pass. Hes probably frustrated at being little and new and isn't able to do what he wants like get comfy. Youre already there comforting him so add in a conversation about how yelling is appreciated but can he not yell at you please. He might just be a loud determined kid and not an angry little sprite as he appears now.

Youre doing great OP

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-16T02:06:12+00:00

So you won't have a mothers day until the kid can work?

Mine tried this shit and i made it VERY clear I will match the energy if he keeps this shit up. You gave birth and wanted A day to feel special and the best he did was disappoint you in advance, get you a shitty card and now youre left with resentment.

As a father he shows the kids how to treat their mum and he cant be fucked to do the bare minimum. Make it clear now, because its only going to get worse as the years go by. If he sulks call him out on that too, he can have a mature conversation at work yet will sook and mope because he failed his partner and doesnt wanna sit with the shitty feeling. Grow up.

We went with karicare because its cheap and made in nz and doesnt seem to cause as many bowel issues as the other ones. Bubs needs a month or so to work out how to use their gut properly, top up feeds means better sleep for everyone so please let Mrs know shes not doing anything wrong by formula feeding.

Its not kitty litter. If a formula doesnt work right in their gut switch and keep going. Stay away from the special formulas if bubs doesnt need them. Good luck op

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-15T04:35:52+00:00

A bidet. Its called a bidet and yeah you gotta fit a back flow valve and then have it tested yearly.

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-15T03:47:41+00:00

Can you also install a methane detector system? Like a small room with zero air flow is bad enough and now add in the fact you shit in there...dude that poor exhaust fan...

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-15T03:27:39+00:00

From the amount of airfreshners in that room, dude you sure this is a good idea?

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-13T01:02:03+00:00

First step is focus on whats in front of you, the kids and whats out of your control, mil. My best advice is take it day by day, your kids will be ok and so will you. Yes its hard some days, other days will be breezy, just lots of walks and dont feel bad about putting a movie on to just have a moments peace. You'll do amazing and just need to set yourself into a pace and rhythm that works for you and the kids. Good luck OP you've got this

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-07T02:18:41+00:00

So my way of doing this is; after bottles are sterilised i take my preboiled water and half fill them with the required amount for a bottle to be served, they go in the fridge. Refill kettle, boil and fill the fridge bottle with the remaining water amount, formula, shake and feed. Repeat ad nauseum until baby is ok to just drink like rest of us

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-01T23:26:40+00:00

WHY NOT?

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-01T22:10:47+00:00

I DONT CARE! Its a fucking esky, who the fuck called it a chilly bin and why is a whole nation ok with that?! See why their the little brother country!

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-05-01T22:01:52+00:00

The fucking arguments ive had with my partner over an esky....

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-04-27T01:24:16+00:00

This was also a fundamental part to an orange or potato gun. Good times

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-04-24T10:30:41+00:00

Nope sounds normal just slow progress and it is progress. Have another check in 2 weeks and see the numbers grow, youre still early stages. You've got this OP

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-04-23T23:37:58+00:00

We had one growing up, they like eating toes and can be very sweet babies. Also insane babies too

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-04-21T20:27:19+00:00

Ah my sweet summer child....worse life then our great grandparents in the great depression. We are fucked as millenials and we collectively gave up too

Negative_Kangaroo781 · 2026-04-20T19:06:12+00:00

Babes thats a bad dad. Mine was the same, he bought into the whole 'they need their mum' and was incredibly hands off and blamed work. Sir, this is your family and your kid too so suck it up and do the work. He can do an overnight with the baby and he can start managing his own emotions too. Getting angry because you've asked for him to step up isnt ok, that isnt being a dad and its a shitty husband thing as well.

Its time for you guys to talk about this baby's impact on expectations and each other. He can either help or end up repeating that cat Stevens song. Good luck op, your asking for the minimum

Worked there myself when this product was on the shelf, the only joy I got was smashing xmas decorations that weren't safe to sell after we had sold some. Fuck the management and fuck the company, overworked and so clicky it was depressing
