I need advice! My little one is almost 1 month old! He has one shift through the night where he sleeps 4 hours but after that it's 1-2 hour naps until he's ready to wake up! He usually sleeps around 10pm-2am or 12am-4am, but when he wakes up at 4am he's ready to play until 7am and then he'll end up taking another nap or two. I'm getting ready to go back to work, which is during the day but my time schedule for work changes every day. My hubby however works overnight and works the same 10pm-7am shift. Any advice on how we can take shifts taking care of our son? And he also refuses to sleep in his crib a lot, he'll fall asleep while we're burping him and we'll pat his back for 20 mins or so to make sure he's fully asleep but the minute he's in the crib he immediately starts crying! Any advice? Please and thank you!!!! 😘😘

@rylannsmommy33016, I hope so! And I do but at night it's tough bc he NEVER wants to sleep! Lucky my son just wants to play and eat as soon as he wakes up whether it's 2am or 6am and sometimes even 9pm when I'm getting him ready for bed!
When did all you ladies start a routine with your little ones? I'm trying so hard but he's going through a growth spurt and is taking 4oz every 2 hours so the routine isn't working, is it too early?! He's 3 weeks on Wednesday! He normally wakes between 5-7am and sleeps for 2 hours at 12-2/2.30pm and that's him until 7-8pm after a bath and massage, up again at 11-12 for his last feed and occasionally, not always, he'll wake up at 3-4am for a feed and nappy change then he'll sleep again until 5-7 ...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.
Mommas who are separated from their childrens dad. If my sons father is to get our son every other Friday-Sunday, but then tells me halfway through the week he can't take him Friday until Saturday due to taking up an optional shift at work, can I legally tell him he either takes him Friday at his ordered time or doesn't get him? He's constantly cancelling whole weekends or taking our son a quarter of his ordered time. He also isn't following the meets on the order. Almost every Sunday he has him...
I work night shift, 6pm till 2am or later. My boyfriend works days, so he's gone when the kids get up. That puts me getting up early with the kids. I'm so over tired there are days that I can't function. I'mthinking about quitting. Letting my boyfriend go back to working 2 jobs (he likes it better that way). But that puts him not being home at all and me being home all the time. But he'll be happier and I'll have more sleep. I'm just not sure what to do. There's down sides with either choice.
Is It Selfish to Want Opposite Shifts When Your Partner Works Long Hours?
Do you think it’s selfish to want to work opposites shifts and leave the kid/kids with your s/o, husband, child’s father when he works 12 hour shifts?
I really want to work away from the home a few days a week. He doesn’t want to use a sitter or day care so I would have to work opposite shifts. He works 7pm-7am in the navy. He never has the same days off at the hospital because they work rotating shifts. Thing is he deploys yearly so idk how it would work when he is gone but for now I was think...
My oldest never slept good, still doesn't hes 12.. I exclusively breastfed him, he'd wake up just about ever hour to nurse, he had a pacifier which helped a bit. Its hard to keep a infant that small on a good routine, they're still getting used to the outside world. My daughter sleeps well, she is also breastfed but slept through the night since 6 weeks... Maybe its just a phase. Formula is a bit heavier, it keeps them full longer, maybe give him a bottle before bed to hold him over longer? My daughter just started having formula when im working, I cant keep my supply up as much but im still nursing when im with her
