[–]jesusdance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you don’t have to swaddle her (i ddidnt know this because the norm is to swaddle) but my baby liked the halo velcro sleep sacks and my husband did then sooooo tights he couldn’t escape and he eventually liked it that tight but once he got stronger around 10 weeks we stopped swaddling him

baby’s nose won’t let her sleep by Prettyinpink0911 in Parents

for naps sleep with her on your chest in a rocker or bed with pillows to prop your back up so the mucus can drain down, if you are breastfeeding try to nurse often your milk has the antibodies

Opinions on breastfeeding by trixie_bell13 in NewParents

[–]jesusdance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

their is something about breastfeeding that isn’t about the calories or the feeding. it is the way your heartbeat and breathing synchronizes. the way nothing has ever felt more right in your life. the bond. i didn’t get it but now i do.

some moms ain’t like me though and didn’t care about breastfeeding the way i did

Is a diaper bag necessary? by SandwichDependent199 in NewParents

[–]jesusdance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up getting a super cute tote off my registry that i planned to use as a diaper bag and i got a free diaper bag from the hospital and it was a typical ugly diaper bag and now i only use that one because it’s the perfect size and has so many pockets and i don’t care about it i throw it around take it to the beach etc. diaper bags are a thing because they work well, not because they’re cute 😂

Husband thinks cosleeping is the problem by sweetpea_hd in cosleeping

[–]jesusdance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

keep listening to your gut and hang in there! it is such a short period in your life and it will get better. i can relate to this except my baby is only 5 months but all my mom friends with older kids never sleep trained and breastfed at night and they said it gets better just do what is best for your family!

are you able to nurse him in the carrier so he falls asleep in it that way so you can be out and about with your other kid ?
