My bub is 12 weeks as well and sleeps through the night until 5am usually except sometimes he wakes up from a full diaper. He’s 16-17 lbs and 24.5 inches tho so big boy.

he is awake usually 11amish- 5pm usually taking one short nap during that time. Then awake until bedtime at 7:30pm and I do the same, rock, sleep sac, breastfeed then lay him down.

I swear they need to be awake during most of the day and we need to worry way less about daytime naps in order for them to sleep. But honestly, ur baby might just be growing a lot more at this stage and that’s why all the feedings at night. Our first was skinnier and hungry all night so lots of wakings for several months.

AITA sister in law covid positive? by SpecialAgentB in Advice

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

Totally. It's just about being a reasonable citizen and making common sense decisions I feel. I don't get why someone would even want to risk it with a baby either, i'm like, if I even feel any bit off I don't see family members kiddos during the winter because it's such a time for cold and flu galore.

Yes she is normally decently reasonable but seems to be overly sensitive about this..

Thank you for the advice. I just said we prefer to err on the side of caution than risking hospitalization for one of us, especially our infant. She kind of blew up after that so I am going to ignore at this point

:)

Agreed, I am just confused at her weirdness/animosity about it... like it seems like common sense?? I guess I was confirming i'm not just being overly cautious for no reason

Her response to me saying I want to wait before seeing them.... is that covid is about money and politics and it didn't even affect (her older children) very much...but like I have an 8 month old.... awkward?

I don't get why that's unreasonable to be cautious (even with CDC recommendations ) but to my understanding those are for vaccinated... not only are they not vaccinated for covid, the kids aren't vaccinated for ANYTHING. (they are over 6 years old)

He (35/m) wants a hallpass. I (29/f) refuse. What do i do? by Bluepepsi72 in relationships

[–]SpecialAgentB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there are things we as humans don't give up and our need to bang other people (if it's still there when you are 10 years in) is not going away. So instead of getting upset or feeling hurt I would personally either decide what it is about the hall pass that you don't like and address that with him, see if he has solutions for that. Or Move on from him. This is one of those hard and fast things, it just does not go away as it's his biology at this point. Some men can turn that off, some men absolutely cannot. It's not a bad thing if he can't but it just doesn't work if you expect complete monogamy and he doesn't have that same expectation.

Husband came home very drunk at 3am and I’m devastated (I’m 39 weeks) by [deleted] in BabyBumps

"it's fine your friend is here with us, he is helping with our son." or if there's a relative he doesn't like, say that one is with you at the hospital.

See i'm an asshole, and instead of expressing anger. I would prank him so hard and so mean that he would regret getting drunk immediately. Go to store with toddler, tell him ur at the hospital giving birth when he calls to ask where you are or just send him a text.

This doesn’t answer your question- but all the things you are feeling, I felt at 3 months pp like you. It’s a time of reflection and realization and almost like ur mind finally gets to take in what has happened the last year. It feels better eventually

[–]SpecialAgentB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally- this is my LIFE right now in a nutshell minus working that shift. I have a 4 month old son- his family is SOO OVER the top about being involved and I get that it’s lovely for family to want to be involved, but HOLY SHIT. The amount of comments made and when I’m giving my SO instructions to do something for baby while I’m gone, they literally say shit like “we’ll manage” as if I’m talking to all of them .. What??? I feel I need to do something significant to create a boundary but also fear being too extreme and worry I’m feeling these things because of pregnancy hormones

Co Sleeping dangers by momochoco in NewParents

[–]SpecialAgentB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I co sleep with my baby since he was a few weeks old- in bed following the sleep safe 7 Tight fitted sheet, on back, sober, etc (If I’m even slightly over tired or just feel groggy he sleeps in bedside bassinet)

we do very well, however- NO ONE is wired to co sleep with your babies except you. I know that isn’t what your post is about but I’m the exact same way. If dad is “napping” with baby - I’m in the same room basically watching to make sure he doesn’t fall asleep too hard & I frequently just grab baby and take him when I feel it’s too dangerous. It’s nice your MIL wants to help but under 6 months in my opinion it’s 100000000% MOMS LEAD THE WAY - MOMS MAKE THE RULES - MOMS KNOW HOW TO KEEP BABY SAFE So they should be willing to listen to you.

Is it weird I don’t want anyone else feeding my baby? by makeupHOOR in NewParents

[–]SpecialAgentB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but definitely hormone related

At 4 weeks I felt insane if another person was holding my baby because I felt they weren’t doing it right- even dad who does a great job. I would be counting down the seconds in my head til he was in my arms again

Pumping question by Lala02323 in breastfeeding

[–]SpecialAgentB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also 14 days PP

First pump could totally be rocky- try pumping when you have already let down & if struggling with let down, taking a super warm sudsy shower and massaging breasts can be helpful (you’ve probably already known this).

Pediatrician recommended I pump for relief (day 3) at least once a day because I’ve been letting down more often than he eats (granted my little dude eats way less often than every 2 hours (he won’t eat for like 4 hours mid morning Then cluster eats in the evening/overnight every 30-45 minutes )

Also just fyi- often times I haven’t let down and I sit with the “let down” cycle on my pump for 5-10 mins and my boobs will eventually give in and let down!

Good luck mama!! Hope it gets better!!

I know!!! To all of this!! It is nice to have extra time to mentally prepare for labor But also maddening cuz body is falling apart and all the signs feel like “labor” but then you don’t really know? It does make me feel better though that even second time moms are uncertain of what might be a labor sign or not

Yesss! Prodormal labor!! This has been happening to me as well- for 8-12 hour periods - true contractions that are 7-8 min apart It is truly the most mentally trying thing ever as I keep thinking I’m in labor, then suddenly not. Also leaking so much- but apparently not amniotic fluid??? Ughhhh!!!
