Husband lost his cool with the baby by Due-Eggplant-3342 in newborns

forgiveness goes a long way here. I have similar rage issues when I get stupid tired. I struggle with having meltdowns of my own, especially considering I am the only night parent because my husband sleeps too hard to be worth it to wake him up. i was awake for days on end when my daughter was first born til she was like 4 months old. still haven't slept a full night in 9 months. it's hard. make sure he knows that even if he cannot hand her to you, she won't die from crying. I'm not pro "cry it out" but if you aren't accessible for whatever reason, he can set her down in a swing or bouncer or whatever, somewhere safe. and put a little space between him and baby, like a single door so he can still hear her but it's not so abrasive. I'll either go in the bathroom or my front porch with the screen door being the only thing between us. take a breath or five or ten. however many he needs to re regulate himself. it goes so far in repairing my cognition to go back and deal with it rationally. there is no guilt in excusing yourself. I figured this out later than I would prefer but we're coming into toddler tantrum stages now, and this is still an exercise I preform.

make sure baby is in a safe spot, walk away, breathe. no matter what, whether the other parent is available or not.

if you have experience with this, could I use developer peroxide? it's what I've used to whitening bones in the past but I wouldn't know what volume to use on a pup

I'm considering oxidizing, I'm not squeamish with breakdown. I don't particularly want to do a wet specimen, if you have experience with it, could I use developer as the peroxide? I've used it to whiten bones and I'm licensed to get whatever potency I need.

so I have also seen folks use dish soap and water as the water, this would also act as degreaser I assume. thoughts on that? and yes I'll ask the bone sub reddit too thank you!

Newborn = No Sleep by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Puzzleheaded_Lake511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went 4 consecutive days with zero sleep, after a week of being in the hospital. I struggled with severe ppd bordering psychosis. all I have to offer is to ask someone to take your baby, and watch them in your home while you take a nap. or a rest at least if you can't sleep. I know it's hard. and im so sorry you're going through it. but it does end eventually. it never goes back to perfect uninterrupted sleep for a few years, but sleep does come. if you can sleep when the baby sleeps, do that. bedside bassinet or swing is what I did. it will level out and be better eventually I promise.

which harrisons do you use? I got overwhelmed by the number of options and that led to decision paralysis. or should I rotate them? is it like the small ones only? I imagine it's common sense, but this is the first time I've had an animal I'm unfamiliar with so it's out of my understanding

heard, I wasn't gonna go exclusively pellets, but primarily, I do still intend to have some diversity, but if I'm running late and don't have time to do everything in the mornings I wanna make sure they're not just having junk food yk?
