Nope, I don't plan to in the near future either 😬 I don't trust any of them to respect boundaries. I told my mom we would think about it at 6 months but she wants to let him sleep in the bed with her and thats not happening because we don't even cosleep, when I told her no that we don't do that, she actually said at mimis he can 😒

My babies first sleepover was very traumatic. She was two weeks old and I had to be rushed into emergency surgery. She cried the whole night and it leaves me feelings, so scared every time I leave her

My mom watched my son for the first when he was 1 month old and has has him overnight a few times since then. It goes great.

She’s also a child development specialist who works with babies and toddlers. So that’s helps.

My MIL has been watching mine overnight since she was a few weeks old, at first I was really nervous because she does things a little different or “old school” but my baby always sleeps through the night when she’s with her and is happy as can be so I’m just thankful we can get a break once in awhile

My heart won’t let me. I wish but I trust no one , not even my mom. It’s not me being selfish or anything but I’m just a little too attached right now. She’s almost 3 months

Yup! We have left our daughter a couple times overnight with my in laws and my parents. She loves it and the grandparents love it.

We slept at my MIL's once but we were there too just a few weeks ago for the first time. I was nervous about them sleeping in a new place and thought they might regress because of it but they did great! :)

My son slept at my mil house for a few hours Thursday night while I was out and dad had school. My boyfriend picked him up at 10pm he did great sleeping. Had a small fuss with her but she got him to calm down. He got shots the day before so he was probably in pain still.

Mine is this weekend, but we came with her! So much more tired but love seeing her bond with them

He hasn't been overnight outside of our house yet, but he will stay late with grandparents or the sitter. He won't go to sleep for real for anyone but me though, he keeps an eye open and will wake up every hour until I'm there which is so so sweet but damn boy go to sleep 😂

Avatar

Back home and it went well. Short meltdown in the evening, but otherwise pretty good. Might have our in laws stay at our place if we need to go out of town overnight again so he's in his his own home and bed.

Avatar

yay! My daughter got fussy between 7:30-8:30pm but slept through the night. I was worried about her sleeping since we just got through with a sleep regression. I definitely missed our evening cuddles

Avatar

oof, same. And I woke up at 1 and 4 anyway so so much for sleeping through the night 🤷

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
