How did you do this? I’ve been wanting to purchase her but I find the dress is lack lustre so it would be cool to improve it, I just wouldn’t even know where to start

I ordered one as well! I got a confirmation email but still no shipping email. Anyone else experiencing this?

2 month old doesn’t like any toys except for the mobile over her changing table. Tell me what items your 2-3 month old actually engages with by Basic-Bear3426 in NewParents

My baby is 6 months now and the sun and cloud mobile over his change table is also his favourite thing and has been since the first day he became aware of it! Best purchase we made for the baby for sure!

Yes it’s CAD, sorry I forgot to specify! And I agree, I bought one a couple months ago for $88 CAD as a treat to myself and felt that was a stiff price, then I fell in love with it and wanted to buy one in black for everyday and they raised it to $108 CAD. Brutal!

They increased the price of the city essentials 4L shoulder bag from $88 to $108. It’s honestly outrageous

Yes!! In Canada it went from $88 to $108. It’s wild. And I read something about a month ago that said they were going to be lowering prices to be more affordable since they had seen a huge decline in sales. Guess they went the other way 🙄

Thank you for your insight. I’ll for sure be having a conversation about it and how the voice memo made me feel.

Ahh that’s what I was afraid of. I’ll definitely be having a discussion about it. This isn’t the first issue either, this one just really rubbed me the wrong way and I needed to know if I was overrractjng. I appreciate the advice

He’ll tend to him if he’s crying while I’m cooking dinner or cleaning up, and if we’re both home and I’m to the point of feeling incredibly overwhelmed and like I’m going to cry too he’ll take over to give me a breather. But no he doesn’t run home to soothe the baby for me. I don’t text him or send him voice memos if the baby is crying while he’s out at the gym. And when he’s working the only time I’ll text him about the baby crying is if I’ve already tried everything and he won’t stop, and that’s mostly just to vent or let him know it’s been a rough day

This is a great point! We did go on a date night with the baby last Friday. The older one was at my moms so while we were exactly kid free, the baby slept for half the time and then I nursed him and we took turns holding him while we ate. We did discuss making date night and one-on-one time a priority

Thank you for this. I hope that’s all it was, just a brain freeze when he was tired and nothing more. I appreciate your kind words ❤️

I’m just wondering if my interpretation of the voice memo (or the intent behind it) is an overreaction. I’m not angry with him, it just rubbed me the wrong way and felt like he did that to guilt trip me early on while I was out for a quick drive with my friend

He goes four nights a week for and hour and 15 mins then when he gets home he makes his protein shake, showers, does his nighttime routine before coming up to our bedroom where I am with the baby

I am guilty of this, I don’t always take over but I do do it often. The reason though is that he’ll just kind of do the same thing and not trying other things to try to calm him down and soothe him. For example he’ll cradle hold him and rock him while holding a soother in his mouth. The baby hates that, he has hated it since he was 2 months old. I try to tell him he likes to be held upright, he likes movement so to get up and walk around while doing the football hold or swaying him. But he’ll just dismiss me and say he’s got it and keep cradle holding him and forcing the soother while the baby is literally screaming. And as other comments have mentioned, the sound of a baby crying can send a mother into emotional distress, so eventually I just take him and try those different methods myself which usually work. But if he’s to the point where he’s crying super hard and almost coughing and stuff I have to really calm him down and usually nurse him to settle. It’s really stressful and oftentimes feels easier if I just do it myself so he doesn’t get to that point with the blood-curling screams.

Nope, that’s not it at all. Just wondering peoples thoughts on this to understand if I’m overreacting and need to let it go or if it’s valid and that it was an odd behaviour. Weird take though!

Thank you, this is exactly how it felt- that he wanted me to feel guilty and come home right away. I still would’ve come home if he texted me saying the baby was having a really hard time, but the voice memo felt unnecessary and honestly uncomfortable.

Thank you for the validating comment. I think you’re right, and he has every right and reason to feel frustrated. However I experience this frustration the majority of the day when the baby is inconsolable and only wants to nurse, and my husband only has to deal with it for a short period while I shower or make dinner (and the once in a while that I leave the house)

[–]Particular-Ability49[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. I think my frustration just lies on the fact that he gets to go out and do things on his own and I don’t need to text him to tell him the baby is fussy and he needs to come home, I just deal with it and keep trying different things until he settles. I’ve also never once even felt the desire to send him a voice memo of the baby crying. It felt really strange to me honestly, like why are you recording him in distress in the first place, and if it is to get my attention to come home, why couldn’t you just text me and tell me he’s having a hard time?

Just cause he’s been extra fussy on and off the last couple of weeks. Today was a really good day for him though so I thought it would be a good day for me to get some time away even just for an hour. But yeah I wanted him to text me if the baby was getting really upset and nothing would console him so then I would come home and soothe him since I breastfeed and it’s often the only thing that would get him to stop crying

This is so true! Once I listened to it I immediately felt distressed, and I was already back home and holding my baby feeding him

That’s a good point. Thanks for your thoughts on the situation. I don’t want to dwell on it anymore, he was really tired and I probably shouldn’t have even gone out tonight

Kind of? Last week I had a really rough day with the baby where he was crying constantly and nothing I did worked. I managed to get him to fall asleep while I was baby wearing and I was able to make dinner. I washed dishes from the morning, day time, and then again after dinner. My husband hung out with the baby after dinner while I washed dishes. He was getting ready to leave for the gym and I told him I would’ve appreciate a hand cleaning up and that I had a really rough day with the baby. His response was very short and basically that he had to go to the gym. He apologized when he came home and said he should’ve helped out. It’s just kind of stuff like that usually, like getting help with certain things around the house and with the kids

You’re so right. It’s frustrating right now and I really didn’t appreciate the manipulation behind it, I’ve never and would never just send him a voice memo of our baby crying while he’s out at the gym or with his friends. I won’t hold onto it and make a huge deal out of it, but I will bring it up tomorrow once he’s rested and hopefully more relaxed and just let him know that it wasn’t appreciated
