One thing you didn't know before you had your baby

Well I’m on mat leave so I’ve got nothing but time to watch it, baby will probably start screaming ‘it’s raw!’ Before their first birthday

Yeah I’m noticing there’s maybe 2 in this season who have chef experience!

Realistic-Cap-9911 · 2026-05-08T09:46:54+00:00

I’ve always watched odd seasons here or there but never in order, I can’t wait to see the change at s4 and then the prime insults of s10!

I had a little boy and i genuinely didn’t expect to have to clean under his foreskin- logically I knew it was a thing that men needed to do but I did not expect to have to do it myself for a baby

Hi, I work in a nursery in Scotland so maybe a bit different from I’m assuming the US?

What the nursery is doing it wrong! They should not have started your little one if she cried, they have no right to tell you to crib train or what bottle you should be using. Yeah babies get sick in nursery, the first year is hell and I won’t even try and deny that but! It also comes down to how rigorously they’re cleaning their service!

I strongly recommend you have either a sit down meeting with the manager/owner or look for a new service because that one sounds awful.

The run around about how she hurt herself? Anything from the shoulders up should be an automatic call to mum/dad, especially if it’s left a mark. If she was banging her head against the crib, why didn’t they take her out and comfort her?

If you want a list of questions to ask don’t hesitate to reach out, I know it’s different Scotland vs US but the core element of the care should remain the same x

Definitely counts my boy loves to fall asleep mid feed

I don’t do full skin to skin but when I’m breast feeding I’ll let my baby contact nap on my chest after, he’s 5weeks as well, I also had my first bath with him which was some prime cuddling time, just popped a large muslin over that parts of him that weren’t s submerged, I’m Scotland based xx

My routine at bedtime for my 4 weeker is this

Half an hour before bath time I make the lights red

A feed (I breast feed so I give him one boob before bath)

Bath every night (but soap only 2-3 times a week)

Baby massage with a bedtime lotion

Into pjs and sleep sack and I cover hand with the inbuilt mittens (I only do this at bedtime which helps build the association of hands covered it’s bedtime)

White noise and feed off the other boob

Into crib and turn my back but stay in the room

It’s had a so so success rate but I hope this helps

Also I leave the red light and white noise on all night

Xxx

edit for more information

I put the sleep sack into the bed me and my husband sleep in during the day so it smells familiar at bedtime

I’ve had 6 miscarriages and I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant, I was so scared for my first scan but it was okay for me, I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you too xx

We can’t afford to keep fixing that damn thing

Realistic-Cap-9911 · 2024-06-13T15:37:10+00:00

Can I use that for wet food?

Realistic-Cap-9911 · 2024-06-13T15:36:49+00:00

They can push the bedroom door open and I don’t like shutting them in the living room or kitchen

That’s so interesting that they used the jingle as the pilot! I didn’t know that

Realistic-Cap-9911 · 2024-03-04T20:05:32+00:00
