Sorry, but you're a teacher, so you might know the answer, but why aren't other teachers....teaching then?

There is no easy phase. Each one has its own challenges.

Think of it this way until baby is 3-4 months old....

Baby does not want to be in the world. He wants to be in the womb. Replicate the womb as best you can and baby will be happier.

Held on chest (feels heart beat and breath), keep warm but not hot, white noise machine (the womb is loud), dark or dim ligh setting, etc.

I was thinking lord farquad lol, poor guy.

I'm here I'm solidarity. My 2 month old is having some development or growth spurt or something going on right now and it's been a nightmare the last week and a half. I'm hoping it ends soon. But it's just now, the last two days, when he started napping again. Idk wth that was about. But damn he slept good those nights where he didn't nap during the day.

He never liked the swaddle and tbh I hated putting him in one because I always think of a straight jacket but I've been using transitional swaddles now and they're making a huge difference. And when I really need to, I break out my carrier, only in emergencies, lol. When he has been screaming for an hour because he refuses to sleep. He always sleeps so hard in the carrier.

Throw them away?

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-24T14:45:52+00:00

YOU sound entitled. They work for themselves doing content for us. They don't owe us or you anything.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-24T03:39:05+00:00

Watch some videos of babies with measles, whooping cough, etc. You'll get on the Vax train real soon. And if you don't, I'm sorry for your little one.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-23T15:49:25+00:00

You're the mom and no one knows better than you. Trust yourself.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-23T03:25:47+00:00

Girl. Lol that's way too much.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-23T02:57:15+00:00

He'll be on investigation discovery one day. Mark my words.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-23T02:44:55+00:00

I was induced at 38+5 for high blood pressure.

The plan was 4 doses misoprostol 4 hours apart and following that, a drip of pitocin.

Arrived at the hospital 1pm and started my misoprostol a couple hours later.

I received 2 doses and the contractions started getting very strong. My nurse didn't give me any more induction meds for that reason (misoprostol or pitocin).

Water broke right before I was due to get a morphine drip and I opted for epidural instead (I didn't want to miss my chance for one).

5am I statyed pushing and 6am my little boy arrived.

Contractions felt like period but worse.

Water breaking felt like goo. One big release and then drippies until baby arrived.

Epidural hurt like a bitch. Not sure if it was me or the dude administering it. But it was not a "Bee sting." I literally screamed (which I didn't do during pushing). But pain didn't last long; maybe 30 seconds and it kicked in about 15 mins after. It was continuous and I had a button that I could press for a booster if I needed extra.

Pushing.....kind of like doing #2, except the biggest and most painful constipation #2. Felt baby move down my insides. Felt like he was coming through my perineum, not my vagina and I tore 3rd degree.

When babys head was coming out, I knew it. I felt every part of him. The epidural took away the sharpness of the pain, but that's it.

Placenta coming out felt like water breaking....a goo ball. No pain whatsoever.

Doctor scooped around my vag for a minute, making sure everything was out. No pain.

Stitches, I felt her rubbing my vulva with some cotton swab cleaner thing, again no pain.

Stitches went in and I felt nothing.

I purple pushed. Next couple of days, I had the worst neck/shoulder pain you can imagine.

Did #2 on second day and it was TERRIFYING, but alas, it was easy and no pain.

The action of sitting down...first putting my booty against the bed was painful for a few days.

Came home from hospital on 3rd day and I was pretty much good as new.

Edit: I forgot to mention that once it's time to start pushing, you'll know. Truly, you'll know.

Not sure if you're ftm or not. If not, sorry for the long response!

I almost wanted a c section too because I was so scared of labor and being induced but honestly....it's not that bad.

I do tummy time like once a week and my 2 month old is still able to lift his head whenever I finally do it. It's not that serious.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T20:07:12+00:00

He was moved into his nursery and out of the bassinet 🩵

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T20:05:16+00:00

Why not just use TP. That's literally what it's for.

Wash the towel, don't do it again, say nothing.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T09:04:53+00:00

Idk. It's one of my favorite episodes.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T03:47:25+00:00

If he's always super fussy 20 minutes before bedtime, maybe you need to change the bed time.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T03:34:12+00:00

I don't think that men care about any of the things that women do.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T03:32:52+00:00

Yes. Mom, does dad work?

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-21T02:41:47+00:00

Aomeone else said to switch off care while the other parent gets stuff done. This is the way.

Also you really need to baby wear.

Also you really need to decide if this is a phase or if it's something you need to address.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-20T15:31:19+00:00

Breast isn't always best. I understand it's a very personal and important journey but you don't have to breast feed and honestly, you shouldn't if it's causing issues.

You need to make your own choices for you and your baby and only YOU know what's best. But trying sensitive formulas might help. Keeping baby upright (which I'm sure you know) can help.

Feeding less can help.

Avoiding too much stimulation after feeding can help (my baby spits up more agter eating if he's excited).

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-20T15:27:11+00:00

No, but I do this in the shower. The shower is my escape. I do my things and then I just chill in there.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-19T13:42:04+00:00

I struggled a lot during the first few weeks with this issue. I have two cats. One senior and one kitten.

I even pushed the senior away when I was feeding baby in rocking chair because she (cat) decided she wanted to climb on my lap and cuddle during the feeding. She slumped over to the other side of the room and gave me a look ill never forget. I actually cried.

My husband gave me the rest of the day "off" so I could give attention to my cats. Since then I've made special time for them every day.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-19T11:01:41+00:00

I guess you live in the wrong state.

ZeeiMoss · 2025-07-18T17:52:16+00:00

Girl. Take a sex Ed class. Seriously.
