I don’t like my baby today

I have two littles, 2 and 3 months. My husband is military and for the first time since our youngest was born, he’s gone for the weekend for training. This was my first real solo parenting experience with two kids, and I’m really hoping it gets better and this feeling goes away but I really don’t like my baby today.

My son is currently crashing out over bedtime in his room and I have to be in my room getting his sister to sleep and all I can think about is how much I wish she wasn’t here so I could go to my son. It’s not a gender thing at all, it’s a “I’ve known him longer and had 21 months of molding our lives together and now suddenly this screaming thing is ruining it” thing.

I love her but I really don’t like her. Hopefully just tonight.

Sleeping position?

Does anybody else’s newborn sleep in an odd position? Or can anyone tell me why my baby does this? It looks super uncomfortable and no matter how many times I readjust him he goes back into this same position. He favourites the left side as well, he never does this on the other side.

Baby Bonnet

Finally bought him some baby bonnets from Amazon !

First time mom issues

Ever since I became a mother, I get criticized for almost everything.

I breastfeed, and I constantly hear that “breast milk doesn’t fill the baby up” and that I should give formula.

I’m currently unable to work, and I hear things like, “This is America people don’t stay home with kids, put the baby in daycare,” even though I’ve applied and haven’t been approved yet.

My child feels safe enough to be herself when I’m around, and somehow that turns into, “The baby is too clingy you need to put her in daycare.”

When my baby cries, I drop everything to comfort her, and I’m told I shouldn’t do that because I’m “making her clingy.”

I didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a mother, but God chose me to be this child’s mother, and I intend to give her all my love, care, time, and dedication. It is my mission.

I pray to God every day.

The life I imagined didn’t happen, but I am grateful for what I’ve learned in these past four months.

I’ve learned to speak softly. I’ve learned patience.

What more could I ask for?

Every day, I just thank God for sending me my little honey bun. 💛

Is witching hour a thing?!

My baby girl is only 11 days old - but gets so so fussy about 5pm every evening! She’s fed, clean nappy, having cuddles but just will not settle at this time every evening! I googled and apparently witching is hour is common but is it common at only 11 days old?! Send help 😂

Best toys for flights

Hi all. I’m taking my little boy on holiday in the next couple of months and wondered the best toys to keep a 15 month entertained for about 4 hours on a flight. Thanks! X
