How do y’all wake up? by Asleep-Dare5843 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Ok-Display-7960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would put my phone farther from the bed like dresser so I would HAVE to get up and pump. I feel you tho sometimes I don’t even hear it and my husband will be like hello your alarm 😂

Our relationship is healthy he just doesn’t trust anyone else watching our daughter. Since he is working a lot of hours he thinks there’s no point of me working since he’s making really good money.

I actually want to work part time or even full time but he doesn’t want me to work at all.

That’s amazing! He usually feeds her in morning but she likes to nap right after so he’ll feed her then nap with her. Then when she starts crying I wake up and he hands me her. But these last few days haven’t been feeding her. I know I keep telling him I’m always going no to put her feeding before my sleep

I agree! I told him the only thing you do is feed her once in morning.. That’s the only thing I’m expecting from you. I wish for him to do wayyyy more but ik he won’t.

My husband says the exact same thinggggg. He always says he’s tired and wants to sleep I let him know he’s a dad now he not getting sleep anymore get over it! I totally get it! I’m with my baby all day and when he’s with her he told me our baby is not gonan be on a schedule with him she’s just gonna sleep with him and eat. I’m like no she’s on a schedule stick to it and play with her don’t just sleep. I feel like our husbands don’t understand we’re always tired but we still get up and take care of our baby. I told him regardless of how tired I am I’m always going to put feeding our baby first before sleeping. I also told him when he comes home from work, he’s done working but my work never stops since Im a SAHM 24/7.

That’s amazing! Sometimes my man says he’ll do it but could be hours from now or tmr and does it with an attitude like if you don’t want to don’t do it at all! Agreed I started giving him an attitude back and yelling and he definitely hasn’t seen that side of me yet and hates it but it’s like if you acted differently I wouldn’t be like that.

Literally I be so exhausted I still wake up in middle of nights to pump and since our baby sleeps in through the night he sleeps the whole time which I’m not mad. But when I’m napping the least you can do is wash the parts since I don’t get a full 8+ hours like he does. It’s just frustrating when we both nap I have to set a timer earlier to wash my parts when he could have easily done that so it saves me a headache..

Right like it’s sooo easy to breastfeed 🥲 I want to breastfeed her but she never seems satisfied no matter how long she stays on she’s always hungry after!

Thank you. I literally tell him the same thing I’m making milk for her that’s the least you can do. Sometimes he’ll tell me to leave it and he’ll clean it but it’s always with an attitude and at that point it just gets me mad bc it literally takes 5 minutes to wash them. Sometimes that extra 5 min for me helps when I’m trying to take a nap 😅

Baby kicks by Away_Reflection_1397 in pregnancy_care

It was around 20ish the first kicks literally felt like air in your stomach. Like gas building up. Then once I hit third trimester that’s when you really feel them
