It's been a long time since I've been on here. I could use some support/people to relate with so I'm back. 💞🙏

Baby boy is 7 weeks old today.

It's been rough for me because of my new schedule, but I'm thankful they baby boy is healthy & we're still successfully breastfeeding. I write this in a rush because as I sip my coffee on the toilet (lol tmi? Nah) I can hear him waking up.


I have been feeling kind of down lately which I'm sure is normal.

My body aches from holding my 12 lbs of joy. Baby boy has been very clingy (although I hate using that term!) & will NOT let me put him down. I want to invest in a new vibrating bed or something similar to help soothe him while I get simple things done... Like pee! Often he'll cry even though I feed him on demand & cater to his every need. He's not into the ergobaby anymore. I am thinking this is just a phase....


I'm riding it out. 😢🤤😲 I know he's not sick or anything. He just wants me to hold him all day (unless he's napping).


💞 Happy Saturday, all. May the force be with you all..😋😌

Well I have 3 boys and they all were like that at some point. It's tiring and can get frustrating. Having a swing, bouncer or anything can help. I got to the point to where I just took the bouncer or whatever with me to the bathroom haha. Sometimes they didn't like it.. but he was always right there with me. Do you have anyone else around to help when you shower or anything?

@britknenicole I appreciate your reply. Very sweet of you. I have both a swing & bouncy bed thingy. He will not chill in them during the day-- only for a small portion of the morning, like 15-20 minutes. I also have brought the swing to tht bathroom 😁 & he wasn't​ feeling it but it's that or I pee my pants... Maybe I need a diaper too?! Lol jk. I'm thinking maybe he'd enjoy something that vibrates because he responds well to vibrations. My husband works from home & although he's here he's very busy. He holds baby when I need it, but it's asking a lot for him to hold him for extended periods because he works on a computer so he needs both hands. Sadly my mom+dad passed away when I was younger, so they can't help. Same for my hubby's parents. My sister in law is going through postpartum depression right now so I try to not bother her too much. I am really on my own. Most my family passed away or is not close. :/ I'm ok. I'm just worn out after this week. I hope it eases up. Thankfully he sleeps well at night & will sleep in his bed. I'm thankful for that! If he didn't I'd be in a mental hospital. 😲

@britknenicole also God bless you mommy. 3 boys... You're a warrior. Give yourself a high five because that's NOT easy.

@mamalotus oh thank God he sleeps at night and in his own bed. Most people complain their kids don't do either. I'm glad all three of mine never had a problem at night. They were clingy during the day some for a short time. Hell my two youngest are 2 and 4 and still are always around me.. haha. Thanks raising 3 boys is tough sometimes. It's even more hectic cause my boyfriend has 3 boys too. So we have a household of 6 boys.. ages from 2 -12 it's insane and I'm close to a breakdown myself.

Does he seem like he has gas?? My baby boy is like that when his tummy is bothering him. Could be caused by foods you eat if you're breastfeeding. I bought some gas drops and it seems to help him

Also the bassinet I have vibrates it was cheap too it's called the kolcraft cuddle n care and I can roll it around the house. It also has an incline sleeper attachment but you can use it as a regular bassinet too. The vibration works either way

It also can turn into a rocking bassinet

Look into The Wonder Weeks. It's a book. Sounds like your baby is going through a leap (or growth spurt).

@mimprince we have a bassinet from Graco but it's like a pack n play. I know what you're talking about. My friend got one for her shower n she loves it.

@shellbell0391 he farts, but never cries when he does so I'm not really thinking it's gas. I actually recently quit dairy just to see how that effects him. I like your bassinet! We have one though. I was thinking more like a interactive spot they vibrates.... I have no idea what's on the market but I should look around. Today was a good day for him 🙏 so I'm thinking it's def just a spurt like @ginz said. @nowmrspost I have the calendar but my the app. I'm so cheap haha. It's worth it??

I think so, it's only a few bucks

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday…

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

Trigger. Our precious boy Last night, December 8th, 2015, at 9:58pm, our sweet precious baby boy was born sleeping. We spent 5 wonderful hours with him: holding him, talking to him, singing to him, mourning him, praying for him, and weeping over him.
