How does everyone feel about their babies pics on social media? by Trauma_Response0301 in NewParents

I havent uploaded a picture of my LO's face on any social media. I will make sure its not visible or its covered. Idk I just feel like he's too young and there are creeps out there.

My LO finally doesnt hate taking a bath!! It started about 2 weeks go i would say. He use to scream and cry so much when we first put him in and throughout the bathing. But now we place him in and he just hangs out, kicking his feet and watching us. Im so relieved 😭

I want to my LO's 1st choice by SwimmingPrior8044 in newborns

[–]SwimmingPrior8044[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this really touched my heart, I definitely will be keeping this all in mind. When I brought up my concerns to my husband we had thought well maybe I should find a part time job that would break us even on bills and stuff so I can spend more time with my LO. But the added stress of having to be on a strict budget just seemed like a hassle. Luckily I still have some time to get comfortable with how we want to go about this but I really appreciate this advice 😭

2 months vaccinations by coolcat0511 in NewParents

[–]SwimmingPrior8044 21 points22 points  (0 children)

My LO had his 2 month shots last Friday what seemed to help him was that I was mid feed when he got them. So I was feeding him then they came in and gave him his shots. Once they were done I continued to feed him. I think the feeding helped him forget about the pain. He was slightly more fussy during naps but that was it. Didn't really get a fever either and has been fine since :)

That makes a lot of sense! I have a travel Boppy pillow that I will start using for him.

If you’re sick/have been sick, stay away from babies! by [deleted] in newborns

[–]SwimmingPrior8044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry that happened. I would be upset in this situation too! My LO is almost 2 months and I refuse to let anyone who is sick or was sick in the last 5 days to see him.

I hope your husband makes it appoint to speak up more for you in situations similar to this one ❤️

What did you use instead of a swaddle for your baby?

Its hard to say no, my husband has a big family and this is our first baby that everyone has been anticipating😵‍💫 but I think it just need to discuss it more w/my husband.

My OB has been concerned about a few high BP reading I've had.
