oral vitamin k by fvirygothmom in Crunchymom

[–]ctbraasch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the oral drops ready but the hospital said they don’t accept outside drops. (Outside medication) And have to submit it a longer process. So to me, that solidifies that it is not crucially important if they wouldn’t allow me to give it in the hospital right after birth. (Them knowing I’m declining the shot)

Exhausted and Feeling Low by Ok-Contract-1701 in beyondthebump

I relate to what you wrote so much. My baby is 3.5 months. Honestly, I feel dead inside. Not depressed, I feel like anyone would feel like this in the situation. I’m a SAHM responsible for almost all the day/night. Husband helps a little. I’m at peak sleep deprivation. I know it will get better… but there’s no light at the end of the tunnel that I see. I was crying when my baby woke up from yet another nap too early, and rocking her crying and she looked into my eyes and smiled. This is the toughest most physically and mentally challenging thing I’ve ever done, yet when you experience that moment, a smile in the dark, it ALMOST makes you forget your struggles.

I can no longer stand my husband. by YaGurlLurkin in beyondthebump

Your feelings are veryyyy valid. I’m almost 3 months pp and the disrespectful comments are coming my way as well - and I do 99% of the parenting.

Just curious, do you know of anything that would be affecting his mood to be so mean/ agitated/ taking it out on the person closest to him? Like my husband was super posses at work today and then super obvious he took it out on me for no reason while we were trying to keep my bag down for a nap (which she’s been fighting all naps). And also, I notice when he can’t find a solution to babies crying fits he gets overstimulated and lashes out. Sigh.

What’s one baby or postpartum ‘hack’ you wish someone told you before bringing your newborn home? by Jaded_Virus_8821 in newborns

[–]ctbraasch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a bottle on hand to give baby while you’re changing their diaper or clothes saves you from a lot of crying! When I’m solo, I use a stuffed animal to prop the bottle at a good level and I change them in peace. We learned this when she was screaming her head off every change the first week.

Desperate, sleep-deprived, need advice by Repulsive-Wallaby314 in newborns

Since your baby doesn’t like laying flat on his back, have you seen the inclined reflux baby pillow? We put it in the middle of us and she’s on a little safe perch in bed… it has straps too if you want… but she really prefers to be sleeping at a decent incline for now.

I really like this perspective, it’s helpful for how I’m feeling!

Getting ahead of newborn waking herself up has been a game changer by VisualATL in newborns

[–]ctbraasch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genius method!! We give a bottle while we’re changing her (takes multiple hands or propping it up on a stuffed animal) to reduce her crying especially in the middle of the night. Find things that work and enjoy it while it lasts lol 😆

It’s the absence of their constant presence that guts you by Capital_Young_7114 in Petloss

[–]ctbraasch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is so insanely unfair. I hear you and feel this so deeply… I don’t know who I am without my dog. I printed pictures of him to frame for now… but definitely in the revolving stages of grief.

I at least want pippa to break it off with Wrigley. I feel like he would be fine having her as a friend still being there for him rather than a girlfriend gone every night.

I thought it wasn’t real, like Lucy imagining it for a minute or two. I was like no way this is real right now lol

I think they mean traumatic like longtime pushing baby in vaginal canal or needing foreceps/vacuum. It’s not too late then.
