Does this annoy you?

It really irritates me when my friends will cancel plans or delay plans because the baby is having a nap! I’m a second time mum, but I didn’t even cancel plans or delay when my first hadn’t napped/was napping. Same with my son now, if I’m going out I’ll either plan naps around it or he will go in the car and can sleep there.

family members kissing baby

We’ve just had my partners auntie and uncle visit, we had no idea prior to the visit that his uncle is just getting over PNEUMONIA. He didn’t hold the baby, but he gave him a kiss on the head. They’re still downstairs now, i’ve washed his head with lukewarm water and decontamination lotion. He’s 9 days old. How much of a risk is there? I am beside myself crying, i wish they’d told us i wouldn’t have let them come over. We’re both in really good health and he’s breastfed.

Boundaries/rules for when baby comes

What is everyone going to be telling people not to do when baby comes? Like
1.) don’t kiss baby
2.) if baby cries give back

I’m completely lost on what I should do for my boundaries/ list of things not to do. like I know off the top of my head but I want to write them down so hubby knows them too. (He also has given me full control over it because he hasn’t been around a lot of babies less than a year old)

naps

when did your little ones naps become part of a routine? i have a 2 month old and she naps through the day quite a bit. just wondering how many naps she should have in the day ?

I cant take this anymore

Pleaseee tell me I'm not the only one.. my just turnt 6m old keeps whining allll the time.

Dont get me wrong hes my little angel and is a very happy baby. But my god😖 he has been teething for MONTHS now, and not just putting his hands in his mouth (as most young babies do), but actually biting real hard and our hands/fingers too. Its all he wants to do and hates teethers, weve tried every kind there is.

Now when its nap time or bed time this becomes a real problem because the whining gets so much worse, its like hes exhausted and wants to sleep (and cant sleep without a dummy) but keeps knocking the dummy out to bite his hands and the crying because he wants to sleep. As well as that, he will ONLY nap cuddling me in bed, so as you can see its a never ending battle and half the day gets wasted trying to get him to sleep.

There is times when like today it took an hour just to get him to sleep because he couldnt stop biting his hands. I got so frustrated today for the first time I shouted loudly "F**K ME" and his name, and he looked so scared and then just stared at me in silence for ages. I felt/feel sick with myself. Obviously I cuddled him and stroked his head immediately after but I hate that it made me that angry. I'm just soo fed up of the whining and difficulty to sleep not only for him but us as well were losing so much sleep as this happens multiple times in the night too he will wake up crying recently.

Please tell me it gets better or that I'm not alone😞 I just dont understand how hes been teething for so long. I also think the whining is something other babies around this age do too, just all at once is driving me crazy.
