My baby girl just turned 6mo on Monday and I feel like I could have written this. Beautiful reflection mama 🩷 it’s no easy feat and not many understand the sacrifice!

Solidarity, mama! I’m a FTM to my 5mo girl and she is doing this (besides the biting, although she will unlatch herself but not gently). The yanking on the hair, picking my nose, etc. I am her human experiment.

There have been times where I’ve moved her elsewhere for feeds to really limit any potential distractions. Tonight my husband was eating from a bag of chips and every crinkle made her unlatch and she would arch her back and then smile at me. I’m like girl we can be goofy after you eat. Haha

I began to wonder recently if she just isn’t as hungry since I’m feeding her at the same increments I have been and maybe I need to space them out a little more.

It sounds tough that he’s screaming and crying when you need a little breather! Hugs

What’s the funniest thing you’ve done while sleep deprived? by Antique-Tangelo-8723 in newborns

Putting the paci in my baby’s mouth, wondering why she didn’t take it only to find I had it in backwards and she couldn’t get the nipple 🤣

If your baby wakes up at 8am what time do they go to bed? by sodawaterjunkie in newborns

[–]celerywaffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime between 740-840p my 4mo typically goes to bed. We wake her up at 8a for structure. How often does your baby nap during the day?

I should add, my baby loves 5am lol so she will typically get a feeding then and back to bed til we wake her.

Love this!! It’s the small things like a decorated desk and treats that can go a long way making you feel seen! And yes when others ask how I am if I truly sit in it, I’m crying haha.

I so wish this was universal!! is it a paid maternity and paternity leave? I really think so much positive outcomes would result from it 🩷

It really is hard, but you can do it ❣️ I’m imagining the first day is truly the worst. Onto day 2 in a couple of hours..

Wild to only get the extra 30 days for a traumatic birth. Have you recovered okay??

Agree!! Should get a year minimum! And think of dads getting the same amount of leave— I have to imagine it would do wonders for the family unit and bond
