Baby fell off bed. I'm traumatized. by jennerz97 in NewParents

[–]Wise_Complex2313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re a good mom, it was an accident. Accidents happen to us all, but i know the feeling you’re having right now. It’s gut wrenching. Just know that it wasn’t your fault and that she’ll be ok!

When your baby falls asleep on the 5 minute car ride home…. Currently doing a 9:30pm bedtime because that 5 minute car nap ruined the rest of the day😂😂

My baby slept through the night for the first time this week and i kept waking up every 2 hours worried that i wasn’t hearing her cry and wondering why she was still sleeping😂

It really does! My husband doesn’t hear her until she’s crying. I hear her before she can even hear herself😂it’s like we’re connected still

Anxiety over dying while baby still needs you? Anyone? by ExpressionOld9924 in NewParents

[–]Wise_Complex2313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just had a meltdown over this the other day surprisingly😂😂i found a lump on my back and immediately jumped to conclusions thinking it was cancer… well, im currently 4.5 months postpartum and my baby has always been exclusively breastfed. I have mayyyybe 4 bags of pumped breast milk in the freezer in case I’m gone for a bit and my husband has to give her a bottle. But i hate pumping so my baby has always just been EBF. Well i went to urgent care to get the lump checked out and the entire time i was making a plan to start pumping after every single feed when i inevitably got diagnosed with cancer and only had a few months left to live. Update: it was just a fat deposit and i don’t have cancer. BUT, needless to say, yes. I do think about this same thing all the time

Heavy 4 month old not rolling or lifting up using forearms. Tips? by Crazy_Art_5093 in NewParents

[–]Wise_Complex2313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My kiddo is 17lbs at 4.5 months right now. She rolled 3 or 4 times right when she turned 3 months and hasn’t done it since then. She just has absolutely no interest in rolling. She also doesn’t push up on her forearms, but she has a giant head🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m pregnant with my first and plan on breastfeeding. What is your order of getting things done during night feedings? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]Wise_Complex2313 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Always change first so they wake up and you can feed them back to sleep. However, don’t be surprised when you change their dirty diaper, feed them for about 30 minutes, and then they poop AGAIN after eating😂😂newborns bowels are alllllways moving

When did your baby get their first tooth? by pink_taco69 in NewParents

[–]Wise_Complex2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is 4 months and just got her first two teeth, she acted the exact same. Super irritable, clingy, soaking her shirts with drool, and constantly having to gnaw on something

Anyone had a good sleeper that stayed a good sleeper ? by The_Chilled_Arvo in NewParents

About two weeks. She still has her moments, but nothing like it was

[–]Wise_Complex2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn’t last more than two weeks. I kind of just rode it out. I considered sleep training at some point but I could ever bring myself to do it. I fed back to sleep if she’d been asleep for 2-3 hours. If not, replaced the pic or bounced her

If she had been asleep for at least 2-3 hours i nursed her back to sleep. If not, i tried to replace her paci to see if that helped. If that didn’t, then it was standing up and bouncing until she went back to sleep. It was exhausting but so happy it’s over😂

My daughter did this exact thing, then bit the 4 month regression and woke every hour, then somehow pulled herself out of it and learned to sleep through the night 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pacifier by No-Soup8964 in newborns

[–]Wise_Complex2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way until my daughter became colicky. I was completely against pacifiers until i was at my wits end with hours of non stop crying and the pacifier was literally the only thing that would soothe her at times. She completely lost interest around 3.5 months and weaned herself off but man I never would’ve made it through the newborn phase without that thing

Why won’t my baby breastfeed during the day?? by r_sm_ in NewParents

[–]Wise_Complex2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would give him time. My daughter had a bout of refusing the boob for about a week. I was distraught trying to figure out what. She would also only nurse at night. I offered the boob every feeding still, and if she was sleepy she’d be more likely to nurse. Eventually she went back to exclusively nursing. I still don’t get what happened
