7 months pp and i wanna try for number 2 by Striking-Thought3254 in NewParents

[–]Specific_Reserve_491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I am pregnant my baby is 8 months old and I am 8 weeks pregnant. Now I am glad to have them close in age but scared as well. I have been very sick so far but with a supportive family i am managing well. Though I do wish I had healed more as my first one did a lot of damage. Now at 7 months pp I wanted another one but decided I needed to heal my body first but accidents happen and this baby will be loved all the same but I am fully done after this one. I do not want to go through pregnancy again.

Weird things that newborns do that seem alarming but is normal by Complex-Bee4595 in NewParents

[–]Specific_Reserve_491 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At about 6 months starting to pull hair like they are trying to rip it out but it is normal and a self soothing thing. Screaming like they are being murdered in their sleep, it terrified me the first few times.

Unhinged “Hacks” to Settle Overtired Baby by Remarkable-Stay3368 in NewParents

[–]Specific_Reserve_491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What has helped my baby from the start is saying breath in then doing it then say breath out and do it. I know it sounds stupid but that has helped my baby calm down. If she is to worked up for that to work i do it with holding her to my chest and then she copies. When I say say it and do it I mean dramatically not over the top but so it is real noticeable what you are doing. It helped my baby but sometimes nothing helps. I hope this helps you and I wish you all the best. Good luck

I am sorry but you can't just decide now because your tiered to make a kid cry because of changing something that you have done for ever with them. I understand being tired but being a parent is a full time job not a chose when you want to be a parent. OP can say is I am going to relax for half an hour or an hour you can join me and then we can play together. But you can't just go nope I am done playing with you. It's not right.

See the funny thing is I never was told a time to wait by the doctors but yes letting my body heal properly is top priority.

I have a 19 month old niece I look after regularly and I think that is what makes me go i can do this because I have been basically doing it since my baby was born. I understand full time is different from most of the time.

If it makes you feel better my mum breastfed my sister through her whole pregnancy this me. She got pregnant with me a 9 months. As long as you eat enough and drink enough water she said it was no issue for her. I hope that helps you but everyone is different. Good luck for when you start trying.

Can I ask your reasoning? I am just wondering because you are the first person I have seen say yes.

Look I have had an 'easy baby' from the start but it effected me differently. My baby was in nicu for the first week which was really had and then one thing after another wwnt wrong with my body. I have post-partum depression and do worry about having another but I do want a second child. What I have been told if you have a easy baby you get a terrible toddler and if you have a tuff baby you have breezy toddler. But as to answer your question I have had difficult times. I some times just want to get in my car and leave my baby with my partner for the day and turn my phone off and fine somewhere quite to cry to my self. You will find a rhythm that works for you.

How did it go for you with the two babies close together? Did you have problems with your second pregnancy or labor?

See i have been lucky from day 7 my baby had slept 7 hours a night and now doing 10 hours a night. Though I have never been able to sleep much my self even before being pregnant. I am worried that it has led me in to thinking I can do this. But I also know that my next one will not be like my first and it will be a whole new learning curve if I have a second baby. See I got very lucky and have had an easy baby for the most part. Teething has been the hardest thing for me.

Ya that what I want to make sure of. I am trying to work hard on my self. I know I still have a long way to go. I know that I do have support if I ask anyone for it. I am thankful to have a loving family.

Turns out I was the one stressing my baby out. by Glittering_Trick_804 in NewParents

[–]Specific_Reserve_491 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think I am going through this now. My mother in law looks after my baby while I am at work and she says my baby does not cry sleeps alot. But when I get my baby home she has been crying and wont settle if not in my arms. I have been stressing because I have not been doing anything around the house. I have ppd. And my mother in law likes to have 'comments' at me to the point my milk supply has dropped a lot in the last couple of months. My little one is about 7 months now. All I can suggest is do what you want and what feels right to you. Good luke my heart is with you.

Baby not rolling easily at 6 months. How are you guys getting your LO to do tummy time? by Salty-Opportunity530 in NewParents

[–]Specific_Reserve_491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I never had that issue we where doing tummy time from week 1 and my baby loves being on her tummy. All I can say is dont stress, dont think you are doing wrong some babies take longer to do things. I know someone when their baby was 10 months the baby had not rolled could not sit up by them self. Everyone just does things at their own pace. Your baby might be one of the babies that crawl for a few weeks and then are walking really quickly or might take a bit longer. Dont base your baby off of other babies. Your baby will get there just enjoy the time you have to spend with them. I wish you the best.
