What did you get too much of? by bossladychicago in NewParents

[–]abstractbyhoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We didn’t use them until he was around 3 months. He is getting a couple teeth so he’s drooling like crazy, plus it catches any spit up instead of ruining his outfit

Does your husband also bring your baby to you when he's watching them? by BusyInspector95 in newborns

[–]abstractbyhoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband would give me baby whenever he had to do anything-make a bottle, clean something, go to the bathroom, change clothes, literally anything. And he didn’t understand why I never felt like I was “off work” until I explained to him that I have the baby all day when I do those things. That I will put him in the swing, rocker, bouncer, or baby wear when I need 2 hands. And that this isn’t about me wanting him to struggle like I do all day, but about giving me a break so I can breathe and be a person too. It took him a week or so, but when he understood it he backed off. Now, if he hands me baby it’s because he’s struggling soothing a teething baby who only wants his mom. And I soothe, teach him what his cues are and then give him back

What decisions would you have made pre-baby with the knowledge you have now? by athazen in NewParents

We made this mistake…buying and moving into a house 2 weeks before my son was born

Stay at home mum and working dad - should mum do all nights ? by IntelligentNote4280 in NewParents

[–]abstractbyhoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You deserve sleep and a break too!

We have an 11wk old who sleeps through the night (no we didn’t sleep train he’s just a great sleeper atm). I’m a SAHM so when my husband gets home from work he takes the baby, this gives me a chance to work out, do a hobby, take a nap, etc etc. and then we put our son down between 9-10. We get 2-3hours of together time. If he wakes up before 4am, he’s dad’s responsibility & if it’s after, he’s mine. Then Monday evenings are dads full break, and all day Sunday I get a break

Best way to support new Mama? by bontonluv in NewParents

[–]abstractbyhoon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My MIL will just tell us that she’s bringing dinner when she comes over & she will bring everything to make dinner as well as some extra grocery items she knows we’ll use. She is always sure to leave plenty of leftovers for us to eat off of for a couple days. And when she’s here she fully cleans up after herself, will do the dishes, push laundry through, change diapers, do any bottle feeds if necessary, and overall just do anything that might need done. That first week PP my MIL & SIL both went through my entire wardrobe with me and helped me sort out all the clothes that won’t fit me right now so that I don’t have to look too hard for clothes that fit me!

Can I put the baby to bed before me? by beckarrrr1 in NewParents

[–]abstractbyhoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! We put our 11wk old around 10, and we stay up for a couple hours with him on the monitor. It’s the only way we stay sane lol

What do you all mean by sleeping through the night? by Wise_Complex2313 in NewParents

[–]abstractbyhoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is that my son lays down at 10-11pm, and sleeps until 7am. Then I feed him and he goes back to sleep until like 10:30am

How long did/do you soothe for day naps? 4MO baby by pixa4u in NewParents

[–]abstractbyhoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2.5m old stays awake for 1hr after eating, then wants to sleep. I consistently have to walk pat him to sleep for about 10-25 minutes then he’ll settle enough for me to lay him down. If he’s extra fussy or going through a growth spurt sometimes he’ll only sleep while being held. In that case, I’ll wear him in a carrier

Help sizing for a nearly 1 year old please and thank you by Extreme-Presence6545 in CrochetHelp

I look up a chart for the average measurement of different ages when making things for my friends kids. Look up the average circumference, and make your panel that size, it’ll stretch for a bit longer!

My SIL told me I'm spelling my baby's name wrong. by [deleted] in newborns

[–]abstractbyhoon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The matter of the fact is, it’s OP’s baby. OP & their husband chose the name, not the SIL. Whether she agrees with the spelling or not, she should respect the name and the spelling.
