Taking one for the team

Our little is sick, it’s been a rough evening. My husband told me to go ahead and sleep in our bed, he’d stay with our kiddo to help him feel more at ease. (Yes, we have a reclining nursery chair, he prefers our floor cushion) Our son being sick is unusual but, my husband taking one for the team is not.

Is this normal

Is this normal for 4 month olds to make these sounds and movements? Sorry if this is a stupid question I’m a FTM and paranoid over everything.

Mothers of older kids (4/5++?)

Does it get easier? Like be fr 😭

NO ONE told me it was going to be hard having 1 kid…literally no one. My mum had 5, both my parents never and still don’t work so they never stressed about juggling work & childcare. In fact no one around me worked/works other than my partner & his family. So literally I heard nothing about “oh you’re going to struggle, oh it’s going to be hard, what are you going to do about nursery etc etc” 😭🤣 they fed me a DREAM! Don’t get me wrong I love love love my son, love being a mum…but the tantrums, the phases, the mood swings, alllllll the emotions plus housework….pleaseeee send help haha.

Is anyone else going through this?

My MIL and her whole family are in a gc and I’m in it and everyday she talks about how much my baby looks like her son, everyday. She either sends pics of him as a baby along with pics of my baby or she’ll just text it, nobody on my side of the family says she looks like me either, I’ve tried explaining to her dad how much it gets underneath my skin that I get 0 credit for literally anything, he gets the “oh you’re doing so great you’re such a great dad” and I get nothing even though I’m the one who takes care of her full time 7 days a week, I know I shouldn’t let it bother me but It’s hard because I do so much and I don’t get seen at all

Events

Hi all! For those that take their babies to an event ie wedding or party, do you leave early for their bedtime or do you stay out. If you stay out what do you do to ensure baby sleeps etc? My baby is 9 weeks old and we have a friends party to go to which will like finish at 11ish. Here bassinet on her pram is sleep safe. Would you still get her in her sleeping bag and put some white noise on with a snooze shade over so it’s dark?
