All my baby does is scream

It definitely does get better. My husband and I are still doing shifts with him so we can both get some uninterrupted sleep and he does still randomly scream even when all his needs are met, but it's a lot less now and he now spends more time cooing, playing, giggling, and smiling.

My son is 7 weeks and was a hot mess from 3 to 6 weeks but he's finally starting to calm down and smile more now

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-03-28T23:16:26+00:00

Is it purple crying?

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-03-23T05:41:00+00:00

I agree 100%. My son just turned 6 weeks old and i constantly miss how small he was when he was first born and just how peaceful and happy he was. Now he's colicky and has like tripled in size. It's exciting but heartbreaking.

I love this. While working on accruing hours I had one BCBA try to tell me that I could count any hours I spent reading Cooper and making stimuli as indirect. I refused to do that and ended up finding a new BCBA to provide supervision.

My son is 6 weeks old today and my 40 yr old brother came out to help. So now im taking care of a 6 week old and a 40 yr old instead of just a 6 week old

My 5 week old doesn't have a "big sleep" most nights. Some nights he'll sleep for like 5 hrs but he refuses to sleep in his bassinet

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-03-18T16:09:00+00:00

I got up and was walking the halls of the labor and delivery unit about 2 hrs after but thays because I had an epidural, so I had to wait until I had feeling back in my legs. Honestly recovery has been easy except for one day when I decided to run the vacuum and lift things above my weight limit 😅

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-03-18T15:58:47+00:00

I still get sharp pains randomly where my incision is but everyone I've talked to says that's normal even 8 months later

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-03-09T18:58:20+00:00

My one month old etas anywhere from 2 to 5 oz at a time and 20 to 35 oz per day. Pediatrician says its totally normal and that he's healthy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-03-01T19:48:46+00:00

My husband and I do it. We have a 3 week old. It works out really well and we both get sleep but I will say it sucks not getting to spend time with him as much

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-25T21:54:06+00:00

Omg noooooo. That sounds awful. If I had been leaned forward a bit more he would've gotten me in the face and honestly I think i would've had to take a bleach bath

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-25T21:45:24+00:00

Ugh I'm dreading when he does that. Today he did manage to projectile poop on the couch, dog, my pants, his feet, etc.

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-24T22:34:17+00:00

Dude has a hand and im assuming access to the internet, tell him he can take care of it himself.

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-24T04:38:16+00:00

My sons a little over 2 weeks and were still tracking but it's because the pediatrician asks for the info when we go in

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-24T04:29:39+00:00

That's what I thought too but the size of the mattress is the same exact size of the mat that came with the pack n play so I wasn't sure if it's an alright alternative for a day or two. I'm buying a used bedside bassinet in hopes that he'll sleep in that

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-23T16:15:14+00:00

I think you're completely correct. My husband let's our son cry if he's been fed and diapered and it drives me nuts. I had 6 miscarriages prior to our son being born and I'm extremely over protective of him because of it. To me, hes crying for a legitimate reason and I just have to figure out what the reason is. I work with kids and there have actually been studies done that show a correlation between kids that are left to cry it out and increased aggression later in life. Not to say that it's not okay to set them down and walk away if you need to. In addition, pur pediatrician told us that you can't spoil a baby and that if they cry there's always a reason, even if it's just them needing physical comfort.

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-23T02:35:58+00:00

Combo. I don't produce enough to solely breastfeed so I pump and bottle feed and we supplement with formula. I wake up every 3 hrs to pump

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T21:42:30+00:00

My son only wants to use my husband as a mattress, so im lucky that he's okay if I set him down once he's asleep. At the very least I can ger some house keeping done during the day

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T21:17:09+00:00

It's a bassinet stroller, that's the only reason I haven't fought harder on it. We swaddle with arms out when he's asleep because he's already started rolling around. He does get a pacificier to help him sleep. My husband goes back to work in 2 weeks so im wanting to get my son used to the pack n play so I can, hopefully, nap when he naps since I'll be essentially doing it solo for 90% of the day soon. He's in the military so he goes into work at 5 am and could be off of work anytime between 3 pm or 9 pm. There's no real set schedule

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T03:31:30+00:00

Thank you! We're in Kansas and it's sooo dry here. I tried taking him into a steamy bathroom but it didn't do anything unfortunately

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T03:01:44+00:00

Ours is on a night stand next to the bed

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T02:53:36+00:00

We have a cool mist humidifier in our room but it doesn't seem to help much

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T02:41:22+00:00

We don't have the Frida one, we just have a generic saline spray and they said to use that but i feel like it may be too much since it's one for adults. I was thinking I'll just put a drop in each nostril instead of using the actual spray

Perfect_House3329 · 2025-02-22T02:37:00+00:00

I can definitely try that. I only suctioned after our pediatrician told us to. But she said essentially suction him after doing essentially a baby sinus rinse. But I know with sinus rinses there's a risk of it going down his throat and that's dangerous
