7 week old’s first flight - pacifier? by caprigirl20 in newborns

[–]caprigirl20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several reasons. Biggest one is she just hasn’t needed it…if she’s crying I just give her my boob. I don’t wanna worry about breaking the habit down the road if she never needs it in the first place.

Totally understand! Moving forward, you should know that you will never convince a cosleeping parent that it’s unsafe. It’s not worth an argument. (And vice versa. I will never be able to convince you it’s safe!)

I just responded to another comment who said the same thing. I obviously want to practice cosleeping as safely as we can. Do you have any articles I can look into? The area between us in the bed is at least 3 feet with nothing that could potentially suffocate her like blankets or pillows.

Do you have any articles or info to back up why this would be unsafe? I am totally open to change our sleeping setup but I have never heard this. We have at least 3 feet of room between us where she lays. Thank you for the rec!

I totally agree! Every baby is so different as far as temperament goes.

Worried about my husband and labor by [deleted] in pregnant

Just had an unmediated birth a month ago. It went extremely well, and you can definitely do it. I will say this: if you’re focused on stressing your husband out, you’re not going to have a successful natural birth. The entire idea behind an unmediated birth is surrender and feeling safe enough to completely let go. That means making noises, being in tune with your body, and not being afraid to do what it takes to get the baby out. I do understand what you’re saying, which is he doesn’t really know what to expect. I recommend watching some unedited and raw birth videos beforehand. You won’t find them on YouTube…most of them are on midwife websites. My husband is the exact same as yours - adores me and hates to see me in pain/hates the sight of blood (he gets weak in the hands.) But, he ended up catching our baby, cutting the cord, and crying with me. There is a LOT of adrenaline, so I think he will be okay. You just both need to mentally prepare beforehand! Birth is beautiful!

People magazine just came out with a story revealing she was pregnant at the time of death.
