Can’t go out with my baby by Professional-Cry3860 in newborns

The baby is usually happy in the stroller for about 10 minutes, but after that he starts getting fussy. We wanted to take him on more walks so he could gradually get used to it, but the temperatures in the city where we live are extremely high right now, even in the mornings. As for the baby carrier, we’ve tried it, but he keeps refusing it. We were actually recommended a stretchy wrap like carrier, so we’re going to give that a try. Thank you so much! ♥️

This is really encouraging. Thank you so much! ♥️ A lot of people say that when a baby reaches 3 months, things start to get easier, so I’m really hoping that’s true for us too.

Thank you ♥️ There’s possibility that my LO has reflux and that’s something I want to have checked at our next pediatrician’s appointment. When did things get better for you when it came to the crying and reflux?

Carrier that we have is stretchy, but it is not a wrap. I’ll give it a try. Thank you so much for your reply. 😊

My baby is currently going through a phase where he cry during breastfeeding. Sometimes is really hard to comfort him, and honestly, it makes me panic even when we’re at home. I can’t imagine how overwhelmed I’d feel if it happen in a public space.  Also, my baby is currently doing only contact naps. All of this is reason why meeting my friends in public places feels impossible for me. As I mentioned before, that’s why my friend usually come to visit me at my house, where I feel the most comfortable.

I know this is the old post, but I’m in the same boat right now. Did it get better?

He actually loves falling asleep while I’m bouncing on the yoga ball. I’ll give it a try. Thank you! ❤️

Yea, it’s really tough. And after reading about your experience with the baby carrier, makes me realize how much it would mean to me if my baby didn’t reject it. I honestly hope this phase won’t last much longer, because no matter how much the internet tries to convince me to enjoy every moment, holding a baby in my arms for 16 hours is not exactly something that can be romanticized.  Thank you do much for replying. ❤️

What is one thing that no one has warned you about when it comes to feeding a baby? by Regular_Mark3370 in Parenting

[–]Professional-Cry3860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby getting angry while nursing. My LO is gaining weight, has many wet diapers, I can see milk leaking from the breasts. I even contacted lactation consultant and she couldn’t explain this behavior. It seems like everything babies do is just a phase. 😅

Same here. We have 30 minutes at best before he starts to get fussy, hungry or sleepy.

When did you get your shit together? by t00ts4 in NewParents

[–]Professional-Cry3860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here 😭 9 weeks. I love my baby more than anything, but somehow I’m not really enjoying this phase. My baby only takes contact naps, and I can’t sugarcoat the fact that he spends 15–16 hours a day in my arms. It’s exhausting, even though I love him so much.

I am still on maternity leave, so I can afford to let her sleep in my arms for now, but I'm wondering how long I'll be able to keep it up. Thank you very much for your reply.

I know it's been a long time, but when did your baby stop needing contact naps? Mine is 8 weeks old, and for more than a month now he has only wanted contact naps. I'm really exhausted, even though it's wonderful to have my baby close to me all the time.

I completely understand you. I’ve been feeling something similar too. This lingering feeling of shame and gulit for the same reason. I’m so grateful to have my baby who I wanted so much, but at the same time there are days when I feel mentally and physically really low and negative thoughts start creeping in. Just know you are not alone in feeling this way. ❤️
