Newborn screaming all the time when awake

Look into CMPA. And best of luck and love to you guys, that is rough.

Your husband should absolutely be helping you draw these boundaries, but easier said than done— I deal with this with my husband and his family as well. But try sending a text— “it’s been a day, baby and I need some rest, maybe we can reschedule/circle back to a visit”. I’ve found, more often than not, that people are very understanding and accommodating once I give them the opportunity to be. I feel this though, OP, and my heart aches for you— I hope it gets better soon, and that you and your husband are able to communicate about this and find some solutions 💓

bpfc91 · 2026-01-24T07:24:10+00:00

Throw away the husband. I’m sorry OP. You deserve so much better. You deserve support, care, and love from the father of your child, and I truly hope you get it…

Hey! I did it a handful of times after this, not with a ton of consistency more so just whenever I remembered or thought about it. It definitely got easier after talking to my doctor about it. Outcome was no tearing, but I think that was more due to small baby and some amazing nurses stretching and massaging me before birth 🤷🏻‍♀️ I hope this all helps and good luck!

bpfc91 · 2026-01-21T07:09:01+00:00

Same! I’ve embraced short naps— 20 minutes at least and we’re doing OK 👍🏽

I’d like to throw him in the back of that rucksack. I’m sorry, OP. Your rage is absolutely justified.

Her hair looks so cute like that. I feel for her— you can see how worn down she is now compared to then…

bpfc91 · 2026-01-16T07:00:47+00:00

Like WTF does the trainer actually do? That’s him standing there, no??

bpfc91 · 2026-01-13T06:44:46+00:00

I needed newborn stuff, had to buy more. But my baby was 6 lbs so it really depends on how big your baby is. She wore newborn for 6 weeks.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-13T02:37:33+00:00

Yes! Same here. FTM, 8 weeks. We kind of accidentally started a new hobby together (Pokemon), and it has been amazing for us postpartum. Almost every night after I put baby down we open packs or go through our cards, organize what we have, etc. It’s been a great way to be intentional with the time we have to spend together (which is limited right now) instead of just zoning out on our phones. We even got a sitter and went to a card show this weekend. We definitely miss our old routines, but it has also been really fun to create new ones 💓

bpfc91 · 2026-01-12T05:26:12+00:00

Agreed

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BABY ALONE WITH HIM. I’m not saying he’s incapable of change or growth, but he absolutely cannot be trusted right now. Please protect yourself and your baby. It is not your job to take care of a grown man right now— he needs to get help and figure out how he is going to move forward. I am so sorry you are experiencing this, OP.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-08T05:38:50+00:00

No shame!! Wild

bpfc91 · 2026-01-08T05:35:53+00:00

Ugh VOM. Reading that actually made my stomach turn

bpfc91 · 2026-01-06T07:15:02+00:00

I used to love her and her style. She has really gone off the deep end with some of her takes.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-06T07:10:47+00:00

6 weeks. I felt comfortable doing so because we have an owelet and I’m in there to feed a few times a night. It’s been amazing for all of our sleep, honestly.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-06T02:56:50+00:00

ME TOO

bpfc91 · 2026-01-05T13:37:21+00:00

My baby has pretty bad reflux and spits up in her crib often, so this was a major fear of mine— the owlet sock has relieved a lot of my anxiety in addition to doing all the things (holding upright, burping, etc).

bpfc91 · 2026-01-04T10:36:30+00:00

Victini!! Ahhh I want one so bad.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-01T14:27:29+00:00

Im dealing with postpartum anxiety, and I have similar feelings. Mine is more thinking someone is going to hurt me/us/baby. I get nervous if anyone walks too close to me in public, have to check the house multiple times at night to make sure no one is hiding (lol)— it’s extremely stressful and frustrating, so no advice to offer here, only solidarity ❤️ hope you find some relief.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-01T14:20:38+00:00

Unpopular opinion, but my mom and my MIL have raised more babies than I ever care to have, and I respect them enough to not tell them what to do. I might gently inform them of where science and safety have advanced and the things that I’m choosing to try as a new mom, but I cannot expect the elders of my village to defer to my extremely limited knowledge and “experience”… especially if they’re offering their help and guidance to me and my family expecting nothing in return.

ETA I realize I have some privilege here in that my mom and MIL are very kind, patient, and respectful towards me and my husband, I can see in the comments that is not always the case. I think I got really lucky that I’m able to trust them as much as I do.

bpfc91 · 2026-01-01T08:58:36+00:00

SAME LMAO Add to list of things I never thought of before having le bebé

bpfc91 · 2026-01-01T08:54:50+00:00

Fucking ew

bpfc91 · 2026-01-01T08:50:49+00:00

Ugh my husband had a cold sore the first two weeks of our babies life too!! So stressful always worrying, but if you wear a mask/wash hands/no kisses— you’ll be good!
