My husband swears he hears a laugh, but I can’t hear it… I think she’s just making cute cooing sounds. I guess I can’t differentiate between them?

My baby laughs and sometimes they loud and sometimes you can feel it in her tummy she was also born 7 weeks early as well she was due in April

He shrieks with happiness but no laughs yet

She has my giggle and she smiles alot

He gets a single Ha out and then it’s like the rest get stuck in there

Mine is. He just had his good belly laugh a couple of days ago.4 months on the 23rd. At first, starting probably 2/2.5 months, he would smile and look like he was forcing something out lol idk how to describe it but it was the laugh he had at the time lol

Mine jusssttttttt started 4 days ago. I have to really work for it. She’s only done it about four or five times. She’s 16 weeks.

My little guy hasn’t had what I would describe as a laugh but it seems like he’s trying. He’s having much more fun screeching while smiling and blowing raspberries. He’s 4 months on the 27th so not sure what to expect in the next couple weeks.

Am I the a**hole?

So our baby is 8 months old, not a great sleeper but I'm not used to waking up every hour/2 hours ever night 😭😂
Basically partner works Monday -Friday 9-3:30 which I understand is still draining, my partner doesn't have to wake up for anything at night as I breastfeed so it's just me that baby will settle for at the moment (I sleep in the same room as baby )
As I don't get much time to myself day or night as baby goes to bed around 6:30pm and I stay with her for the night, sometimes on the weekend I just want an hour or 2 just to relax but my partner says "well I haven't had any time to myself"
But they have from 6:30 until they go to sleep every night plus uninterrupted sleep?!
Am I the a hole for wanting a little time to myself?

Hair cut

I have all four boys and they only got there first hair cut at age 1. I’m determined for my last LO to do the same but all the comments I get from family are rude. But I’m standing my ground. With that being said when did you do the first hair cut. Picture attached for tax.

Do you style your school aged child's hair or just comb/brush it? Not your toddler

I know I send my child to school with her hair styled, but however she looks at the end of the school day is always a mystery. So I wonder are there parents who don't style at all?

also realize this demographic may bring about different answers because we don't all have the same hair or hair needs~

Stranger touched my newborns hand

I was out for a coffee today and an old lady touched my 4 week old baby's hand. I know she was well intentioned & I belive she had a learning disability, but I've been completely freaking out since getting home.

I used wet wipes on his hands when I was at the cafe and put his scratch mittens on so that he couldnt put his hands in his mouth. When we got home I put some hand sanitizer on my hands and the rubbed the excess onto his hands, but before wiping it off with another wet wipe.

I'm so scared that he's going to get sick and I cannot stop myself from spiralling. I know its irrational and that this type of thing happens to lots of babies, but I feel sick with worry right now & can't stop crying. Has anyone else had a similar experience and did things turn out okay?

Make it make sense

How am I the one with a baby who keep in mind is 6 months old but yet my friend who was like literally my soulmate who doesn’t have kids just a boyfriend now who btw swears things like soda are made from babies only can reach out like once every two weeks if I’m even lucky bc she’s so busy? We have each other on Life360 and idk if she thinks I’m an idiot but I can see when she’s home and I know she can’t be that busy she can’t reply to a text like come on we went from hanging out every single day to this crap this is why I’m so over getting close to people like I’m so tired of finally thinking I have a friend for life then out of no where stupid crap like this happens
