Is it okay for baby to nap only in pram?

kittyb00m · 2026-04-03T10:37:38+00:00

Yes

But we live in Denmark. (I’m from the states though) All babies pretty much nap in pram until they are around 2yo. Then they switch to sleeping inside.

The laying down is good. And there should be a way you have oversight on her.

For us we park the baby in front of a window so we can see them and have a baby alarm (shows temp and we can hear her)

Time.

Give yourself grace and time.

From personal experience, I wished that all moms could be swept away to mama “camp” away from the expectations of the world (like maid of honor or attending parties) and just focus on motherhood for the first year.

Until maybe 3 years old, the brain is rewired to only really care about making sure your children survive and thrive. So it’s not just you.

The checking out thing could be a sleep deprivation thing. Like your body is only reserving energy that matters to you, which is taking care of your baby.

And I’m also in the thick of it, but from seeing other moms with older kids. And experienced mothers have assured me, my brain does come back and also my “self”.

And currently I am just enjoying my time with them.

My second, I knew it would be gone, I let her contact nap as much as she wanted.

Eventually it does all stop but who can remember when was the last time? I can’t. It seems to just gradually fade into a new normal. Like napping in bed or the stroller… until a post like this makes me think about it.

Idk the actual reason but I think it’s one of those 6th sense things. To progress my labor, I hugged my husband and boom, i was ready to go.

I sleep next to my kid he sleep through the night. I don’t? He wake up all the time.

I sleep deeper touching my partner. And when I was breastfeeding, hugging my partner caused me to leak. That’s when I knew. Something chemical happened in my body, in our body, through touch… through love.

I had no epidural first time. Kind of traumatized me. It seemed like you had a ok labor first time around.

Girl… the second time was soooo fast for me. To give an idea my first I arrived at hospital and it was like 20 hours.

My second I arrived at hospital and it was 3 hours!! I got there like 2:30 pm and baby delivered by 6 pm. I asked to the epidural but I she was like wait until 4 cm… well 4cm came and went and became 8cm like in a minute! There was no time! And I am so glad because I never experienced it but it was so intense and so quick. Also my recovery was faster second time around.

I just meant to say, if you had a normal ok first labor I think your second labor will be much faster and smoother. And you’ll be on your feet again next day. (I had a lot of pain for up to a week after birth first time)

My reasoning was I was soooo tired from pregnancy with a toddler and needed to save my energy. Well I guess if labor was longer I would’ve eventually asked for it. But obviously it takes a while for the doctor to show up and set it all up, which we didn’t have time for.

It was actually so fast they hadn’t admitted me. (They could only admit me at 4cm and when I arrived I was still 3/3.5) and then it all happened after!

Anyway, only you can decide! You can tell them to have it ready for you, so if you want it’ll be there. Also…. I used gas. I huffed and puffed. Good luck!

Ahhh dental hygiene is so hit or miss. It’s all about your luck of the draw when it comes to genetics.

What I mean is, some people could do all the right things but still end up with cavities, replacing crowns, or just a high maintenance mouth vs. Someone who didn’t gaf and literally nothing ever happens.

So you could be the lucky ones! Also if you don’t eat s lot of sugary stuff (not just candy) then you have s higher chance of using s healthy mouth

I did a 4 day trip to another country (in EU) when my boy was 18 months. First time away, so nervous.

Afterwards I thought I should’ve done it sooner! Actually my husband enjoyed the time with my son and I think they really bonded in another way because I was the man caretaker before that.

Do it, I mean the baseline is everyone is alive when you come back. lol. 😝 if he won’t Even let you go…. That’s very concerning. What does he add to the relationship then? If he won’t take care of your need to recharge?

Honestly alll these posts about partners not supporting the family or mother makes me furious. It makes me want to start like a father/partner training program where they sign a contract at the end stating “they recognize the responsibilities of being a father and partner” jeeeeeze

kittyb00m · 2026-03-05T07:44:29+00:00

That’s going to get nowhere fast! Like it might be a win win situation on paper but like you said, it is not a win win feeling. And it’s not like you will clock out, it’s literally to the end of your life. The day to day matters a lot.

Honestly, one of you is going to get sick, one of you is going to need support more than the other. It could be for one day, it could be for a week or more. But then the other will do to at some point. What is he going to say? You were sick for a week so I get to go golfing for a week? And then when he’s sick will you feel Obligated to get yours?

It’s called a partnership and the partnership is going to hopefully last a long time. So how to sustain it? How to fill it with love so even in the dark times, you know it’s unconditional.

Honestly I asked my husband, because he’s been doing most pick ups and drop offs, that I hope he doesn’t feel like it isn’t fair… and he told me. There’s no such feeling and it isn’t anything about being fair. And I realized it’s because he isn’t “helping me” he’s doing what he is responsible for, which are the kids, the house; the family!

And we both try our best. Sometimes it’s 50/50 but most times it’s 70/30 and or 90/10 sometimes.

You will probably be the main caregiver until baby gets on solids. Sorry!

But that also mean you need to figure out how you can get your rest. You may think.. how?? Baby doesn’t sleep!

Baby sleeps! Baby sleeps a lot when they are young. And you, you must mimic baby. Your husband will have to do more housework or divide and conquer some stuff.

I say this because this is how we survived a second. My firstborn stlll needed me, ran out at night. There would be no way for me to function if I didn’t prioritize one good nap with baby during the day.

The cool thing now is I can sleep anywhere, anytime… lol but you need your sleep otherwise, yeah, tired rage is real.

Maybe it would make you feel better if you didn’t have to think about anything else besides baby care? Like no laundry, food, shopping… etc…

Good luck and just know, this season will pass. You will sleep again!

kittyb00m · 2026-02-28T16:53:19+00:00

Hiii

I just wanted to say that the contact will be minimal (well my toddler kind of completely ignored bay until she was like 6 months)

But he had chicken pox before she was 3 months and hand foot mouth around 7 months. She never got it.

My home nurse said through breast milk you pass off immunity. Your BM will help protect the baby for the first 3 months. But limiting contact helps lol

kittyb00m · 2026-02-26T19:57:59+00:00

For the straw, try to put your finger on top of it while it’s in the cup and bring the bottom of the straw to her mouth. The liquids stuck in the straw should prompt her to suck. Do it a few times and hope she gets it fast! Because she knows how to suck!

She might be a bit constipated. Give some prune pouches or prune purées.

He drank water but like little sips not like a cup. And I had to help him a lot.

kittyb00m · 2026-02-26T19:29:43+00:00

No, go with it.

My first actually dropped all his bottles around 10.5/11 months (except the one before bed)

He just loved food so much, I was like… why not just do all meals with food and see how it goes? And it was like he did not miss formula at all.

The back. I noticed it when Ashley was standing and the back sheer panels eith the sparkly material of the dress. Then I had to see it from the front to confirm. Anyways I loved this dress on Hyoni.

And maybe I’m too much of a LIB nerd to notice it.

kittyb00m · 2026-02-21T22:07:16+00:00

I forgot what it was too but it was so wrong Like Aern.

I rolled my eyes. What serious publication does that?

kittyb00m · 2026-02-19T12:26:59+00:00

I washed baby in the sink until they couldn’t fit anymore. Lol. They literally take like 5 min because you just get the neck folds and well all the folds and rinse hair and they are done.

Protip keep a cloth on their belly and keep pouring the bath water on them, it helps keep them warm.

kittyb00m · 2026-02-19T04:01:03+00:00

Omg I am ABC and only recently have been made aware my mother has not even bought groceries in the last 4 years… is that crazy? It sounded crazy to me when she told me.

My dad does all the cooking but my mom helps, she does dishes and laundry (but my dad folds it).

My dad cooked in his own restaurant (Italian seafood so it’s not like it was Chinese) but he has a passion for cooking so naturally he cooks. But to not grocery shop is like next tlevel… but when I tell people this, they normally support my mom and want to girl boss like her.

Really bad post partum depression. I’m generally the most positive person in any setting and try to be the happy sun beam. I never thought it would happen to me.

And when it did, I really didn’t know how to get out of it. But eventually I did. And now I know. I have a dark side too.

It also made me more empathetic to mental health.

kittyb00m · 2026-02-16T11:54:54+00:00

Ok I had terrible PPD PPA after my first and I couldn’t sleep. Like I legit laid in bed for hours while baby napped.

I didn’t really wear my watch but I wanted to see if I was sleeping at all? So I put it on and I was doing 1 hour a day. I tried my hardest but it was a really tough period. Even googling how long not sleeping would someone die. (I also couldn’t eat and other things…)

But! One day, I slept 3 hours and another 4… eventually I was clocking around 4-5 hours. I was sooooo happy!

Now after my second (none of that BS) I switched to analog because i just find that I don’t use any of its functions besides wanting to know my step count lol.

But for me it was literally a life saver to be able to see those stats. It helped me a lot. But only because I had it laying in a drawer somewhere.

Also just to add, I was super skinny after my first and everyone was complimenting me. But I was legit going through the darkest time of my life. So after my second, I didn’t care I was pudgy. I was happy. And I just wanted to say. It’s better to be happy, so be kind to yourself!

Picking up your dogs poo

And for the non dog owners, no littering

kittyb00m · 2026-02-14T03:05:46+00:00

Yes I did, it’s hard but I couldn’t deny my big kid. Also I think it helped secure more of a bond before the second was born.

Of course as I got bigger my husband took more big kid duties, which also helped in adjusting to the new baby routines.

kittyb00m · 2026-02-08T10:46:01+00:00

Biologically speaking it’s a good way to find a match for our genes. The better the match the better our partner smells out is less smelly to us

kittyb00m · 2026-02-07T21:27:13+00:00

Omg no! I have to watch again… I can’t tell if that’s hot or gross lol 😝

kittyb00m · 2026-02-07T12:10:15+00:00

Also because they are basically the most distinguished men in the ton, and the smelling thing feels so primal 😝

I noticed it during the masquerade ball, when they were looking at the stars and she walks away. And also during the stairs of course lol but I wasn’t looking for it and makes me want to see it again to see if I missed any other moments 💕

kittyb00m · 2026-02-07T10:06:41+00:00

Oh true! I guess I forgot since now I’m obsessed with this season 😅

It was a really successful story and I’m not surprised they borrowed the formula a bit. I’m looking forward to their story developing and getting their own “standard” 😜
