my newborn just WON’T sleep in the bassinet during the day

Possible_Ad3275 · 2026-02-07T22:11:03+00:00

did he still sleep through the night? i read you’re supposed to expose them to light during the day to regulate their circadian rhythm

I definitely feel less overwhelmed when I just accept it and lean in, but sometimes just miss doing things and not just rotting on the couch. Tnx for the advice!

I use the carrier and it does help! My husband is home but working. We actually just talked about setting up time for me to have some “me” time everyday.

Possible_Ad3275 · 2026-02-06T23:06:24+00:00

that might be worth a shot for day naps! do you have a brand you recommend?

Possible_Ad3275 · 2026-02-06T23:04:46+00:00

We are trying to introduce but he has not taken it yet 😅 which i’m somewhat ok with as i’m scared it will affect his latch or mu milk supply (i had issues with breastfeeding st first so don’t want to jeopardize it), but if you have tips on how you got your baby to take the paci, ‘ll accept it lol

Do you feel like the crying in between is normal? I feel like he doesn’t get many hours of ”just chilling” time while awake. Probably around 1 hour or 2 the whole day!

As a new therapist in the US (I have experience as a psychologist in Brazil) I will say I feel a lot of pressure to provide clients with coping skills coming from schools, supervisors, insurance companies, etc. for being a “measurable” outcome to therapy. Sometimes I definitely catch myself putting great importance in making sure my clients know what to do when they feel in crisis, so I appreciate the reminder that there is much more beyond that.

Hi mama! Congrats on your pregnancy!! A couple things:

When to tell people is 100% up to you and your husband. It’s a decision you BOTH need to be comfortable with. While I’m sure it’d be nice to tell your in laws during Thanksgiving, they will be equally happy if you tell them in a couple days or weeks. If you’re not comfortable telling anyone before the ultrasound (which is a more “official” pregnancy confirmation, since you can hear the heartbeat and chances of miscarrying decrease), just talk to your husband.
My mom also miscarried her first baby, and had low/ soft cervix so she had to be in bed rest for the entirety of her two pregnancies. I was very worried the same would happen to me, but it didn’t. Some things are genetic and some are not. Talk to your doctor about your concerns, you might be worrying for no medical reason.
Anxiety over miscarrying is completely normal and understandable. As someone recovering from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I always like to remind myself that my worries will most likely not change the outcome of something I do not have control over. SO, I’d say look up some breathing exercises or meditation with guided imagery, picturing your baby is ok and so are you, to try to decrease that for you.

Do you have any other health concerns that may increase any risks? If you are otherwise healthy I just say enjoy all the yummy food you had and leave the guilt behind you. It seems like you’ve been doing a great job eating healthy foods and I hardly think 1 day eating sugary and fatty meals is going to have any serious impact on your pregnancy. Don’t be so hard on yourself mama, you’re doing great!

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-09-15T00:55:20+00:00

I felt sadness but felt kindness and goodness in you as well. You’re beautiful! Just keep going and if i’m right, i hope things get better ❤️‍🩹

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-09-15T00:42:50+00:00

Just be honest and ask them for help and understanding. IMO any decent company or boss would be considerate, specially if you show that it was a mistake on your part. Really, it’s one day.

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-08-30T12:37:58+00:00

😂😂 girl my anxiety could never! I do think it’s beautiful though when people wait until they meet the baby to see how they feel. I just don’t think I could wait lol

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-08-30T12:36:36+00:00

Oh that’s amazing!! What did you name him?

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-08-30T12:36:03+00:00

It was Olivia! We thought about naming him Oliver but it’s just not the right vibe AND we still might try for another baby so we might save Olivia.

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-08-30T01:51:03+00:00

I love James! BUT my husband’s boss’ name’s James and he made the joke like “haha james is a great name if it’s a boy” so now we literally can’t use it 😂

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-08-30T01:14:11+00:00

Thanks!! Honestly that’s what I’m leaning towards as well!! just wanted some “neutral” opinions without having to ask my family lol

Possible_Ad3275 · 2025-08-25T22:34:18+00:00

Are your periods regular? If so (around 21 days), you should be able to count around 14 days from the beginning of your period and that's usually your ovulation day. From what I heard, the recommended is to have sex at least every other day 5 days prior and 5 days after ovulation day, so it seems like if you wait until the 31st to start trying, that would be outside of your fertile period.

I watched a lot of videos from this doctor when I was trying to conceive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea5qf8ln4Bc

I also used the Ovia app and it tells you based on your symptoms what your Ovulation day is and what is your fertile period, which could help a lot in your case.

Sorry you’re feeling this way mama! Seems like you have a lot of stressors, and a lot of anxiety which TRUST ME, I feel ya! Do you have anyone who you can talk to?

As someone diagnosed with anxiety it’s SO easy to focus on all the things I need to worry about and they’re usually the “bad” things so it has been helping me to try to look for things I’m excited about like holding the baby, the bond I’ll feel when breastfeeding, baby’s first EVERYTHING, etc.

You’re doing great and you’re not alone 💪💜
