Quiet sleeper

My husband has just put our baby down in our next to me crib aboyt an hour ago and its my shift now with the baby. I know I should be sleeping but baby is just sleeping so quietly I keep checking on him! Every other night he grunts and makes all sorts of noises but tonight hes just sleeping so quietly

Im so terrified of sids, but hes alone, on his back in his snuzpod and in a swaddle. Ive checked and hes not too warm to touch on his chest but Im so wide awake I cant take advantage of the quiet! Hes just turned 4 weeks old yesterday

Is this normal? Everything ive seen and read is that newborns should sound like a whole farm of animals while sleeping

Murphys law - I posted this and hes immediately started his usual grunting lmao

My newborn is a very quiet sleeper to the point when he makes a noise i think something is wrong, he may be just in a very deep sleep. Try get some sleep if you can mama, you got this xx

My daughter was a quiet sleeper I was constantly checking on her and barely slept, my son however is so loud 🤣 he squeaks and all sorts 🤣! All babies are different don’t worry yourself xx

I read this and was going to comment saying get some sleep whilst he is quiet then saw your comment 😂😂

I swear I sleep next to a baby dinosaur every night 🦖 but as you say as soon as he is quiet I am checking on him and making sure he is ok.

I used some of the snuffle babe drops last night before going to bed and I don’t know if I was in a deeper sleep but after my husband put him down I didn’t hear him until he got up half an hour ago for a feed. I have just used more so will see how he goes. Apparently the drops help with mucus etc.

I hope you manage to get some sleep xx

The first stint is usually deep sleep and quietest

Nursery vs Nappies

I need advice…

On Monday 1st June I dropped my child off at nursery for her first day, with a full pack of 72 size 5 pampers nappies and 3 packs of wipes. On Thursday 11th June they have asked for more nappies; so working full time and navigating life as a working mum I ran to the shops and Friday morning I’ve dropped off a full pack of pampers size 5+. I’m now concerned that my child’s nappies are being used on other kids as she came home today in the size 5+ and it clicked in my brain that I previously provided them with size 5 pampers and surely they haven’t used all of them yet!

For reference, she attends nursery 4 times a week (2 full days and 2 half days). On her handover sheets, it seems she’s only being changed maximum 5 times on full days and 3 times on half days. Surely they haven’t used that many on my child?

Has anyone come across this before and how did you address it?

P.S - I will no longer be providing full packs, however I’m new to this and thought it would make mine and nursery’s life easier to ensure she always had nappies. But I cannot afford to be replacing them like this 😭

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

Wow not surprise

So just cuz your mad at me you want get mad when i decide leave early in morning cuz I heard saying should get out house before got hot so I get up at 6am and get kids head out u wanna feel some type away because you mad at me but in other time you want be fine other thing cuz you mad u wanna sit there in bed all morning cuz we not there but in other time you be up and like you say I change up when we get into it but what you call that you changing once’s again it’s always my fault when stuff happened to you of your mad I have wait for you get over but let me be mad I get called names or I get told I’m changing up make that make sense

Obsessed with Husband

Is anyone else absolutely obsessed with their husband/partner postpartum? We cannot stop making out like teenagers every time we see each other/get into bed. Even when I’m feeling super anxious about baby stuff, seeing him immediately melts all the anxiety away.

UBER

HI, Anyone successfully taken an uber with baby carseat and frame put in the boot? I don't drive and hubby can't always take me to things. My carseat can go into a car without the base. Bit I've not tried it yet. I just wondered if it was relatively easy. As there's no option to say you want to travel with a baby. My LO can get upset if it's not matched with his nap, so obviously I'd want a driver whose comfortable if he's upset.

Supported steps to walking

My LO is 8.5 months old and is taking supported steps. She cruises the furniture and, if I hold her hands, she can walk around rooms. How long did it take your LO to go from this to their first independent steps?

Just trying to figure out how long I've got until she can run away from me instead of crawl 😂😂
