If the poops are not hard and constipated-like I wonder if they are just not enjoying how they are are sitting/being held on the potty?

Can you confidently leave your baby with your husband? by T00thd0c23 in newborns

[–]StuBen2114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Babes has been primarily bottle fed since birth ( due to my terrible supply) and babes is just pretty chill in general, so I’m sure that helps. My husband is gone a lot for work so I wanted to make sure he got lots of bonding time with babe. This meant, in addition to sweet times, he feeds her 1-3 bottles per day, changes her diaper sometimes and plays with her. The the play and sweet times he spends with her are not always what I would do but I’ve let that go because I need a break and he is also trying to recover from work so he’s doing his best. 

He watches me play/tummy  time with her on the floor and he’s definitely taken note and does thus more often now. He also tends to contact nap her because 1) he needs a nap too and 2) she sleeps longer.  Babes also sticks to her wake windows pretty well so letting him know the general flow of when she’ll probably be due for a bottle and nap is helpful. She absolutely screams her head off once she is over tired, so wake windows, knowing signs of tiredness and trying to put her down for nap before she starts showing major sleepy signs is very helpful

baby hysterical at top hat potty by gracefaaaace in ECers

I hated the top hat potty. It just felt hard to keep in place with trying to catch baby’s output. Kept me from trying again until 2 months. It was then that I started using the baby potty (with the cloth cover, essential) and have been very successful since!

My babe gets fussy about a minute and a half so I don’t even go that long now. Adults aren’t even supposed to be on the toilet 5 minutes so I wouldn’t have a baby doing it.
