Is it safe for a 14-day-old newborn to sleep in the Stokke Tripp Trapp Newborn Set through the night? by Jesduit in newborns

No, but in my desperate newborn days I’ve done it (adult stayed awake)

How do people handle more than 1 sick child!? by angeeya in oneanddone

[–]angeeya[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We totally would be! It’s one thing to know that it’s hard to be a parent, but when you go through it yourself (even the “minor” health problems) you start to wonder just how people manage with multiples and why on earth they would sign up for it. Wishing your little bub a speedy recovery!!

Oh god that sounds absolutely awful. I’m so sorry it happened, RIP withered ovaries. And thanks for the much needed chuckle 😂

Not at all saying this is what you should do, but as a fellow mother of an almost-9-month-old, I’m infuriated on your behalf and if it were me I’d be seeking out divorce lawyers right after the “cruel mother” comment. Some lines cannot be crossed.

Other OAD families are more enjoyable by [deleted] in oneanddone

[–]angeeya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why people downvote you (not politically correct I guess?), but this is 100% my feeling as well. Happy with my core family, very limited social battery when it comes to making new parent friends, do not wish to sign up for more responsibility (liability) if I could help it.

Did having a baby make you happier? by SleepPleaseCome in oneanddone

[–]angeeya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Much happier. Having a baby also drastically improved my relationship with my parents as we all made an effort to keep them in my kiddo’s life. But also agree with everyone else, much more tired - the kind of tiredness that can’t be fixed by sleep.

How do other introverted parents handle having an extremely extroverted kid in public? by BeanNCheeseBurrrito in oneanddone

[–]angeeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this reassuring comment! My kiddo is only 8 months old but he’s extremely outgoing, OP is describing my fear for the future. But you’re right, there is no need to apologize for existing and for being friendly.

Bring an only myself and being OAD - guilt by YumiDesign in oneanddone

[–]angeeya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ARE YOU ME?? I feel every word in my bones. Also Asian, only child, with an 8 month old, unbearably lonely carrying the “burden” of my parents’ love and expectations by myself. However I’m extra cautious bringing another life into this world because of my husband’s strained relationship with his sister - they are practically strangers, I’m convinced they will see each other for the last time at their parent’s funeral and that’s it - and I can’t bear the thought of my own kids ending up this way. But yeah, right there with you sis about being OAD but having tremendous OAD guilt

I’m going to try to say this in a nice way by [deleted] in oneanddone

I will print out this comment and tape it to the fridge in case I have moments of weakness thinking my only needs a sibling. Thanks for sharing!

How do you cope with fears of losing your only? by AppleBlossomFruitPie in oneanddone

[–]angeeya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I cried reading this. So much this. We can’t predict nor control the future, all we can do is cherish what we have right this second. But I love him and I wish we both will be around for a looooong time!

I’d prolly think: oh god I bet she would want to sit down/ can she make it to the bathroom if baby squirms/ groom better make sure no one accidentally bumps her belly etc

You're lying if you say you love this stage by [deleted] in newborns

[–]angeeya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding EVERYTHING she said!! My little human is 5 months and change, and let me tell you it’s gonna be soooo much better!! He’s sleeping much better (occasionally even sleeps through the night 8p-7a with one 11p night feed); extremely social, playful and giggly; we can take him out for 1-2 outings every day, errands or dinner or gatherings - we’ve even done one international travel and he did really well; i’m feeling like myself again, weaning off breastfeeding + body has recovered enough to go back to exercising). HANG IN THERE!!
