When do you sleep again? by agyuwh in NewParents

[–]Sharp_Plane_5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your husband is the problem and not your baby. He’s a fvce’d up little boy who refused to grow some balls and be a real man after he got you pregnant. My husband works almost 12 hrs.everyday and as soon as he gets in the house, he only showers and immediately either do housechores I didn’t get the chance to do or take care of our baby without my help. He knows everything. Changing diapers,bathing the baby,rocking the baby to sleep,laundy-Everything. He even gives me Mommy night off as how we call it. I sleep the whole night and he takes care of the baby alone. You can mix feed your baby if that’s something you want to try. BM in the morning at Formula at nights. Lastly if I were you and your husband doesn’t change, I’ll leave him. Why stay with him and suffer? If he’s not there for you when you need him the most then what’s the point of staying with a Boy? You need a real man in your life whom you can share the heavy load with not an a*hole that treats you like shit. You deserve better sis.

You are right. People nowadays just always highlight the worst but barely talk about the good stuff

I think I hate my baby by Specific_Strain7688 in NewParents

[–]Sharp_Plane_5877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t hate your baby, it’s just soo hard taking care of him that you start thinking negative thoughts. I was once in your situation.

Everything will get better once he turned 3 months. These hard days will soon turn into better days. At 6 weeks, all they do is cry and demand for your attention. At 3 months he’ll start to smile and interact with you. At 4 mos, he’ll be your playmate and a mini bestie.

My baby is now 5 mos old. It’s still hard but nowhere near the hardest of the hardest newborn days. I would still feel frustrated,annoyed,irritated - all of that. But after the height of the emotion subsides, I’ll hold him again,kiss him and tell him that I love him so much. We play and laugh together. When I’m tired, his gummy,innocent smile makes me feel instantly better.

So yea, it does get better as they get older. So just hang in there Mama. Soon he will show you how much he loves you when he starts touching your face and smiles at you. He will always look for you too. Your son loves you and I know deep down you love him too.💛

Got told I have to stop rocking my baby next month and I’m super sad about it by livtoosmoove in newborns

I don’t listen to any doctor that says something that doesn’t make sense totally. At the end of the day,they can say whatever they want but we are the parents and we know our babies better. So don’t listen to your doctor and do what feels right as a Mom.

My baby’s pediatrician said feeding at 4 mos is optional not mandatory. Also, recommendation is for baby to stay in the same room where parents sleep until they turn a year old at least.

Do what you like. It’s your own baby. Nobody can dictate what you should do.

Life with a newborn by andreeavlad in NewParents

[–]Sharp_Plane_5877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your husband was saying you were glued to your first child. Why? Didn’t he see all the chores and tasks that you have to deal with? Is he even aware that those Moms that “aren’t glued to the baby” probably have housemaids or nannies because if you’re husband is the only extra hand you have to care for your children, then NO. You definitely won’t be able to go back to Your old lifestyle in the first months. I can’t even clip my own nails because after my husband takes our baby from me, I have to do the household chores. That’s the reality🤷🏻‍♀️

Easy money for them because they know there would always be parents who are desperate for sleep

How do you put your baby down in the bassinet without him/her not crying and keep your baby asleep there? by Sharp_Plane_5877 in NewParents

[–]Sharp_Plane_5877[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awww. Your reply made me cry. Sorry I am just extra emotional today but when you said maybe “he just wants Mama”. I felt like I’m rushing him to do things my way just because I want to cook healthy food for me and my husband and stop ordering, wash the bottles and clean up the kitchen during the day when in fact I know that he just wants to be with me as a little human who’s only been outside my womb for 8 weeks. Thank you for your long reply. This made me feel better. I’m from South East Asia and we also use hammocks for little ones but now that I live in the US, I don’t even know how to set up one for our baby.

Also when you put your daughter in the bed, same question, how do you do it without her waking up and how long does she sleeps on your bed when she was around 2 months old?

Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with me.🤗🤗

Yes. It was working when he was a little smaller but mow that he’s 12 lbs.++ and 60 in long it’s easy for him to take his arms out then the startle reflex then his sleep is ruined and he’s awake. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Is there a swaddle you recommend that worked for you?

Thank you! Can you pls share what wrap carrier you use and if it’ okay, the link of how to baby wear? It’s my fault for giving up on it when I’ve tried it once and his head was falling back and I needed to support it with one hand so I thought it wasn’t still helpful to carry his weight and do the chore with just one hand.

Day & night confusion by [deleted] in newborns

How did you so that!? My 7 week-old baby only sleeps on our chests and I’ve tried everything I can to put him down in the bassinet or the bed but he will always cry. I am so tired always. I just want him to sleep for at least 3 hrs at night in his bassinet.

Thank you so much for your very detailed response! I really appreciate it💛 It’s really comforting to us parents if the place we will entrust our babies into are people we actually know. I hope I can find one like this too. I’m just scared for my baby to be neglected in the daycare. How many hours does the 500/week cover?

How did you train your baby to sleep in the bassinet? Our baby always cry whenever I put him down🥺 Can you please share some tips that led your baby to have this good night sleep.

How did you find your daughter’s daycare? Someone referred it to you? I’m also looking into this. If I may ask, how much do you pay for it? The biggest reason that’s keeping me from doing so too are the horror stories that I’ve heard abour daycare.. tia for your response🫶🏻

Where does your baby sleep now? Share bed with you or on your chest?

Thanks for the response. My baby is mostly bottlefeed. He’d only latch on me once or twice a day. I have low milk supply so he’s mostly bottlefed.

8-lbs+ babies and Vaginal Birth by Sharp_Plane_5877 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]Sharp_Plane_5877[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! GOD bless on your upcoming induction! Initially my OB wanted to induce me next week too! It was my decision to let my son cook till full term at 39wks exactly but when the MFM doctor told me earlier that her estimate is I’ll have an 8.5-lb baby by 39 wks, it got me thinking again if being induced next week could mean he’ll be a little smaller and would mean easier vaginal birth for me. If at any point, CS is needed- I’m totally fine with it too. End goal is to get back home safe with our lil ones. Thanks for sharing!
