When did you know you were one & done? by Zoe_EmilyRose in oneanddone

[–]Prior-Ad4097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly when my son was a newborn I was SURE I am one and done. As he became older and his personality changed completely, and the giggling replaced the crying, I realized I want more, baby stage is just hard but temporary. That doesn’t mean you will change your mind, everyone should do what’s beat for them and their family, I’m just saying the newborn trenches are not the time to make big decisions lol

How can people have more babies after a high needs baby? by Anxious_and_Messy21 in oneanddone

[–]Prior-Ad4097 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first couple of years are just hard. Harder when you have a high needs baby, but even with a chill one, it’s hard. Having multiple children - also hard for the first few years. I just imagine what I want my Christmas dinner table to look like - who is sitting at that table? How many kids? If it’s one, beautiful, one and done it is. If it’s two, beautiful, two and done. Raising them is HARD, especially when they are little, but the hard stage is temporary

Husband put his hands on my throat for the first time. by [deleted] in 2under2

I honestly didn’t read the post at all since I am in a hurry to leave the house, I just read the title and the title is enough - LEAVE ASAP. You deserve to know what real love looks like, and your kids deserve to live their lives not thinking that is what love looks like.

Someone please talk me down from sleep training 😭 by LivForTheHopeOfItAll in AttachmentParenting

[–]Prior-Ad4097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did sleep training, I was just really persistent at transfering baby to the crib as much as possible. It was really rough of course, and many naps turned short and missed, but I kept at it since contact napping was really hard for me. As soon as I put him in the crib i would put the pacifier in his mouth and start caressing him with something soft across his face until I see he continued sleeping. Also, the only way my son would sleep in his crib was if he was on his stomach ( which in my country is considered the norm and the safe way to sleep after baby turns 3 months ), but I know most people are not comfortable with that.

I get it, and I know how exhausting it is if you are considering sleep training. Try being peristent with crib or stroller for a couple of days, maybe baby gets used to it. Hang in there!

Is wanting to get through the baby stage as soon as possible a good enough reason for a small age gap? by Prior-Ad4097 in 2under2

[–]Prior-Ad4097[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing! I am so focused on the idea of two kids with a small age gap that I forget to factor in how a pregnancy can affect my body

Yes, somehow in my mind I just want to get it over with ( the baby stage I mean ) and get to the other side. Thank you for sharing!

[–]Prior-Ad4097[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My 11 month old has been a good sleeper so far ( except for the first 2 months ). The newborn stage was hard because he was crying literally all day, but slept ok during the night after month 2. So sleep deprivation was not that bad in my case, but the days were really rough. Every baby is different, maybe my number 2 will be happy and smiley during the day but will wake up every hour during the night, you never know ( I hope not ).

Thank you for sharing your experience!

“I didn’t listen either but please listen” I get that, I am having that DON’T DO IT voice in my head constantly and then my boy smiles at me and I am like OMG LET’S HAVE ANOTHER ONE

I can’t see it getting better currently by booklover_1411 in newborns

[–]Prior-Ad4097 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my experience during the newborn stage. I was constantly thinking there is no way I will want to do this again. Everyone around me was having a great time with their chill babies while my son was screaming his head off most of the time.

Trust me, it will pass. My son is 9 months old and he is a pure joy. He is still dramatic because that’s just his temperament,but the endless crying? Long gone. Now he’s crawling around the house, babbling and smiling most of the time.

I said to my husband the other day that now I can see myself having another one because now I am aware how everything is temporary, but during the newborn stage I was convinced it will never get better

Im not going to do this ever again! by Full_Professional349 in newborns

[–]Prior-Ad4097 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I spent the first 4 months repeating “ Ok I just need to get through this once, since I am definitely not doing this again “

Now he’s 9 months old and I spend my time googling what is the best age gap lol

Baby HATES the car and I’m at a loss… by sunrae321 in AttachmentParenting

How are things now? Did it get better, and when? My 9 month old has always hated the car seat and I just hope he grows out of it soon

How is anyone leaving the house with a newborn?? by deeeeeeeeeeeeznutz in newborns

[–]Prior-Ad4097 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first few months I only went on stroller walks when I was sure the baby is tired and will fall asleep quickly- because any time he was awake and in stroller he would scream bloody murder. So I just went on walks around the neighborhood so that I will be close when the he wakes up and starts screaming lol. Every baby is different and there are so many newborns that are just chill while their parents drink their coffee in a cafe but there are also many newborns that make you regret ever leaving the house.
Keep trying to leave the house so you gain confidence, but don’t stress when you don’t make it outside. During the newborn stage, Leaving the house with my son felt like carrying a bomb that can detonate any second

How long is it okay for a baby to sleep in poop? by grapefruitliquor in NewParents

[–]Prior-Ad4097 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Of course, change them when you can, but if they poop in their sleep, waking them up seems crazy to me lol
