😔

I decided to give my fiancĆ© the baby and finally take a nap being that I was on go for almost 24hrs straight! I’ve told him a NUMEROUS amount of times that he has to turn the a/c when he puts her in her bassinet bc the air goes directly over here

I just woke up to my baby crying and literally shivering to the point her lips were starting to turn purple. And he’s SLEEP!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I want to punch him awake so bad. How do I bring it up to him without crashing out??

Put that AC directly over his private parts on full for as long as he can take it
Hopefully he won’t do it again!

I’d turn off the a/c and have a fan on instead , also how are you dressing the baby ? Are you able to take him to another room if he’s too cold

A little crash out may be in order

To be clear I’m totally on your side and I’d be PISSED, however I would recommend keeping the ac and dressing her more ā€œappropriatelyā€ for the temperature because it does help prevent overheating and air circulation helps lowering the risks of sids

Either way he did not know those things and should have respected what you said. Only you know what’s best for your baby

Please don’t take this as judgment, just something I read based on my own research cause my lo would get sweaty

Ice water challenge comes to mind. I would be pissed

Do an instructional video of you telling him calmly again and when he asks why you can say that as he is a parent too if something goes wrong you have proof he was educated šŸ˜‚ but seriously tell him to grow up and step up, sounds like he is lazy and it’s not acceptable behaviour for a father. It’s not all on one parent, should be a team effort!

Wait for him to wake up and talk to him about it

Also move the bassinet

No okay at all. However, is there a better place for the bassinet and can you add a sleep sack and warmer pajamas?

Car seat problems!

Hey everyone,

I have just bought the Joie GTI spin car seat for my 10 month old but having major issues with her head leaning forward when she falls asleep…

I’ve got the reclining back on the car seat as much as it will go, and think that the head rest is at the right level.

Does anyone else have this problem and know what I can do about it? or whether it is just the car seat in general?

Thank you x

Did I take this the wrong way.

So I’m 8 weeks pregnant. My youngest just turned 1 August 10th I also have a 7 yr old 4 yr old and a 2 yr old. I told my mom I was pregnant only because eventually she would notice. But yesterday she said something that bothered me then tried to flip it. Basically she was like ā€œ the nurse told you your last pregnancy that your body was under stress because you keep having babies back to back ā€œ ā€œ I hope this one doesn’t kill you ā€œ I hope this one doesn’t take you out ā€œ so it didnt dawn on me till she hung up the phone . in my mind I’m like that’s really fucked up to say. She says I took it in the wrong context but how??? I told her actually by her saying that I could be very traumatized worrying about if I’m going to die or not. She’s like ā€œ well I’m traumatized because of what the nurse told you last yr ā€œ like wtf now it’s about her. Please share your thought.

Naps

How do you get your babies to nap in the day? What’s the process… do you rock then lay down for example once asleep? My son only likes napping in the carrier or if I do manage to put him down I have to rock until asleep, lay down on his side and tap his bum but independent naps don’t last long at all. I want to get him napping better on his own but the process is so long!!!!

I’ve made a rod for my own back 😩

My baby girl is almost 11 weeks old and over the last week or so her false starts at night have gotten worse! Once she is asleep at night she generally only wakes once or twice for a little feed, but it can take hours to get to that point.

I just want to soak it all up so the ā€˜1 nap a day in the bassinet’ hasn’t been happening consistently, so I know this is the first thing to start doing.

At bedtime (whatever that is 🄓) I am feeding, changing, and rocking her to sleep and then transferring - which again, I know isn’t helping the false starts.

I just cannot let her get so upset/distressed before sleeping! How do I make these changes without just leaving her to work out that she needs to sleep?

Any tips would be much appreciated!

Baby doesn’t cry if I leave

Hi so this may seem a bit weird but my baby doesn’t get upset if I leave him with someone else. He doesn’t cry or anything. He seems happy when he sees me again though but I was just wondering as I was reading a post that said that babies like that could be unattached? If that is even a thing. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Also do I sound weird 😣

Cough at night..

Has anyone’s little one got a cough that only affects them at night? This started after my LO had a cold and temp but we are now on week 3 with no other symptoms but a cough that only affects her at night. She’s had 2 lots of croup medication and it hasn’t worked so they don’t think it’s that. I’ve taken her to the doctors 3 times and mentioned I’m worried about asthma but they just keep saying it will go. My LO is such a good sleeper and I feel so guilty she’s not getting good quality sleep and I don’t know how else to help her. We have tried her on a tilt, used vapour rub, she has a diffuser in her room, nasal spray, olbas patches. She is 2.5 years. Has anyone else had this or found something to help?
