I was trying to burp my little girl and her head dropped into my chest as I was positioning her. I feel so bad! She let out a little whine but stopped as soon as I started to rub and pat her back. Any tips to how I can prevent that from happening again? All I could think about is the "Shaking Baby" video my hospital had me watch before being discharged. Seeing that x-ray vision of how the babies brain bangs against the skull along with spinal injury, makes me feel like I can unintentionally cause the same kind of damage. 😩💔

This might be hard to explain but my nurses showed me to pick up my baby in his shoulder area with my two pointer fingers behind the back of his head. It kept his upper body rigid when moving him to my shoulder. Another thing to try is to not burp her on your shoulder and instead in your lap and with you holding her jaw and palm on her chest/belly while patting her back. This was the only way my son would burp haha

For the shaking baby head syndrome, you really have to shake their heads violently. Mine shakes her head and moves it around like crazy and she's fine. Plus I've accidentally done what you have done. Don't worry💖

@fasciamom the lactation consultant tried showing me how to burp her that second way and I swear I almost strangled my baby.😂😐 I stopped immediately because I felt I would hurt her. I don't think I'd want to try that way again. As for that first way, it is kinda hard to picture. 😅

@amadamforbes, like this. When you move her, grab her under the armpit area and have the shoulders stabilized and fingers to support the neck and head.

Obviously not to lift her up in the air lmao.

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?

What would you do? - baby shower

What would you do? - baby shower SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever, I don't need her, I didn't have this baby for her to raise. I'm married, living on my own and paying all my own expenses.
