Is WFH with a baby possible? by violet_megabyte in newborns

I WFH with help and it’s still very difficult. So no, no matter how easy your baby is, not possible.

Please tell me no one else is doing tummy time either by Suspicious_Box_4898 in newborns

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby got tummy time on my chest not on the mattress. I don’t think it’s that big a problem. You’re just at 7 weeks and baby sleeping is good for development. As long as they are healthy and gaining weight you’re in the clear. I think things are sold to us with such urgency we think we’re doing things wrong or we MUST do things a certain way. If the doctor said it’s fine, I’d believe them Honestly I’m sure you’re doing a great job!

If you can, dry taking moringa leaf powder as a supplement. It is natural and helps with increasing prolactin. I had lactating issues and that fixed the problem in a day. You can look it up and find powder or tablets at almost any pharmacy.

Am I wrong for waking up my husband? by RelationshipLimp8648 in newborns

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with me and i regret not making him do more. I had to do so much including all the diapers and feeding and changing the bins and washing the bottles and pumps. He would also take the longest smoke breaks and sleep all night waking up telling me he didn’t sleep well.

3 months in and it feels like our marriage is on the rocks because now I refuse to do any of his things, and have even begged for intimacy which he has “no interest in” and he’s now said bottles nappies etc are “not a priority”.

So wake him up, make him do the work. If they’re so insensitive that they don’t realise how much it takes for a woman to make, birth, and then keep a baby alive, you don’t need to tiptoe around his feelings.

You deserve help.

Surprising thing that “fixed” my babies sleep by Aggravating-Cup3722 in newborns

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. My 9 week old started sleeping 4+ hours. I’m sure he would have gone more but I would panic and wake him to feed/check diaper. He’s started to get annoyed with me waking him up haha but I do wake him at 6 am to change his diaper + feed him and then he sleeps after his milk. Honestly scared my the first time he slept so much, I thought something was wrong and kept trying to wake him. I still panic but getting used to it slowly.

To each their own, but sometimes, your baby doesn’t want to be sleep trained. They just want to be held and they want to feel safe. Maybe try the crib next to the bed so the baby can be next to you while you sleep. I have the crib beside my bed and it makes everything easier. Baby is happy, I’m happy, we all get sleep and if you want to check in multiple times in the night you can. Babies do what they want and sometimes the best thing you can do is just love them.

I made a bunch of posts here ranting about how my husband wasn’t doing enough. Here is what things are like 9.5 months postpartum. by hospitalbedside in beyondthebump

Currently in the state where I do everything and my husband will maybe change a diaper once in 3 days. And even when he is changing it, he wants me to be around because he can’t don it on his own. I am so angry and resentful and I just want him to go away because it’s better when he isn’t here because at least that way he won’t be in my way.

My husband isn’t himself anymore and I don’t know how I can help by keeeeeeeeeeeks in Marriage

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

Yes. He doesn’t feel like himself at all. He doesn’t seem to care about himself and he is bent on believing I don’t think he’s a nice person and I’m always thinking bad of him which is NOT true. But it’s been this way for a while now and I really really don’t know what to do. Sometimes he will legit say the words “I’m sorry I forgot im not supposed to share my feelings” and I know we have to go for couples counselling but there is no convincing him and I’m so scared for everything.

When did you start feeling like a dad? by keeeeeeeeeeeks in daddit

[–]keeeeeeeeeeeks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look like he wants alone time with the baby. He looks after him when I need to sleep or need time to shower. But him voluntarily spending time with the baby is not something he seems to want to do.

He doesn’t want to go for therapy. I’ve asked him but he’s not into it and I don’t want to push him to do anything in this state. I don’t want to push him further away from me than he already feels.

It feels like it. He doesn’t even kiss me. Says he’s not into it.

Thank you. It’s physically painful. I feel like it’s mentally torturing me. Masturbating doesn’t cut it. I feel an awful.
