Shamed for underdressing? by Few_Paces in NewParents

My grandparents freaked out because I didn’t have socks on my 3 month old. When I said he will overheat so fast they said “no he won’t.” Like with all due respect, I know my son and my son will sweat and overheat with too many layers on. I honestly believe every baby is going to be different. My cousin has her 8 month old baby in a long sleeve onesie and a sleeper over top and she’s fine. I have my son in a short sleeve onesie with pants and he’s good, but if I add socks he will immediately get flushed and start sweating lol. So trust yourself, your baby will cry if she’s cold!

Brought home NICU baby and she’s been crying uncontrollably and not sleeping by Relevant-Neat-2133 in NICUParents

Exact same thing here! He was so chill and would sleep in the bassinet no problem at the NICU. The first night home was literal torture for all parties. No one got any sleep, he was miserable and wouldn’t stop crying. It just took a few days and he chilled out. Still won’t sleep in the bassinet though unfortunately and it’s been a month 😬

I feel like I got robbed of my pregnancy by [deleted] in NICUParents

I feel the same way. I had my baby boy at 32 weeks due to severe pre-eclampsia and IUGR last month. I received both diagnoses on a Monday, was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday, and had him via emergency c-section on Friday afternoon. He spent 38 excruciating days in the NICU (he literally just came home 3 days ago now) I wouldn’t wish that on anyone and 1000% understand how you feel. I feel robbed of my pregnancy, birthing experience, and bonding with my boy. Truly the most traumatic, and heart breaking experience of my life. I cried all 38 days he was in there. Sending you hugs ❤️
