My brain felt like it was on fire when I heard my newborn crying

It's also not healthy for their mental health development to let them just sit there and cry

I made sure they were fed burped and dry then shower and if they cry for a little then so be it but I know the main needs are freshly cared for

I can't stand hearing my baby crying even now at 6 months. It feels like my skin begins to bubble, my blood begins to boil, my heart races, my head feels like it's on fire like Parker said. I NEED to make it stop. Same when dad is trying to do naps or bedtime and she's just screaming and screaming eventually I barge in and take over because I just can't listen any longer. Most times in those cases though she's hungry and he's not clocked into it yet and she'll settle with him after a feed. She loves a good nap on Daddas chest

It's really hard to hear for a reason, because we're biologically wired to respond to crying, and newborn cries are designed to aggravate our nervous systems.

That said, a couple of minutes of crying if you have to go to the bathroom / haven't showered in 6 days / just desperately need to make a cup of coffee will not hurt them. If they are fed, warm, comfortable, clean, and you show them lots of love and affection on a regular basis, they are not neglected. There's a reason it's advised to put baby down if you feel yourself getting frustrated and overstimulated, and it wouldn't be advised if it was harmful. A crying baby is hard to hear, but it does mean they are alive and healthy.

If I was on my last 90 seconds of them shower, I’m finishing my shower. There’s no reason for mothers to go days and days without showering. The baby will be fine.

I truly felt like I was in fight or flight when my baby would cry and showering to “care for myself” while he cried left me worse off than I was mentally

Yeah it’s not fun. I do the same. Baby in the bouncer and play soft music for him

Having experienced the witching hour where both children cried non stop from 7-9 then they will be fine for a few minutes in the shower or while cooking dinner or going to the bathroom. That said back then we only had a bath so used to wait until oh was home.

I’m a single mum so there are many times I have to leave my baby to cry for a short time in order to get things done. There’s no waiting for a partner gets home so I can catch up on stuff. It is what it is and if I did everything around my baby he’d be drinking from unsterilised bottles and I’d be a stinking mess x

If I’m trying to get something done like in the middle of cooking something I don’t want to burn, heating a bottle ect I’ll let her cry but only for a couple
Minutes and I hate hearing it it makes me sad.

I can’t hear my baby cry. When she was newborn, I’d shower before my partner went to work or after he returned so he could be with her. As she got older, I’d have her in the bathroom with me.
Now, she’s 13 months so is happy to be left in the playpen whilst I shower but if she cries, I’m straight out to sort her out. If it means hopping in and out twenty times for a 5 mins shower, then so be it.

However, I didn’t judge those that finish their shower or put their wellbeing first in this scenario as long as it’s not prolonged periods of time.
Mums need to look after themselves to adequately look after their babies.

I feel like a freaking unicorn. I didn't like hearing my bubba cry but If I needed the shower, he could wait. A few minutes won't harm him.

Sometimes I'd have him in the rocker or pram.

The second I was out of the shower he was getting all the snuggles and all his needs met.

Mum's are just as important and we need to look after ourselves to better care for our kiddos.

I waited for baby to fall asleep and put her in the chairs you can get and is put that in the bathroom so I could watch her she never woke up and I could the. Quickly shower but if she did cry I would just leave her for a second because she in the room with me I know she’s safe and I can see to her in a few min x

I alwaysssss put the bassinet in the bathroom with me! And if baby needs me, I hop out and attend to them! You really never know what could be wrong unless they’re sitting in front of you!
