my baby won’t sleep unless he is held. ill swaddle him but as soon as i put him in his bassinet he starts squirming and eventually starts crying but he will sleep on my chest for hours. what do i do? 😩
he loves your warmth and smell so maybe you can wear a blanket in your shirt all day and then put it in the dryer and swaddle in that between y’all as you rock him and lay him down with that warm blanket still around him that smells like you
Spoil away 😍 they will only be little once and snuggles are the best! I say that with my 19 month old who wakes up in the middle of the night still and the way he says mama in his sleepy voice is the cutest! I wouldn't trade these moments for the world. And I still will go pick my girls up and snuggle them too.... Sleepy snuggles are the best! 😍
It will honestly be like that for awhile girl, but he just needs your comfort right now .. everything is new to him just like it is to you .. it’s temporary and I promise it will get better, and yes,! ^^ you cannot spoil a NB some people will think/tell you otherwise
Remember mama, he's fresh out the womb. All he knows is YOU. Your smell, your voice, your heartbeat... That's what comforts him. Do all that you can and don't listen to people when they say you're spoiling your baby (cuz they will say that). A baby can't be spoiled. Just let him sleep with you. 💙
@kartersmommyy he's too young to roll... However you lay him I guarantee he'll be in that same position when you wake up. And there's no harm in him sleeping cuddled next to you. He's still thriving off of your heart beat
@kartersmommyy we have a co-sleeper co-sleeper but most of them the time I just craddle my arm around him. I'm a light sleeper and I wake up to his movements. If your bed is against a wall but him next to the wall and you beside him so he don't roll off.
@mommytotheo, how do you have it set up? do you have a cosleeper or use blankets or something? i don’t want him rolling off the bed if i move around lol
I gave in and let my son sleep in the bed with me. Best decision ever. We both sleep at least 7 hours straight now
@kartersmommyy, I hear ya!! I haven’t gotten sleep in 5 months lol
@hthomas0308, he kept me up all night last night bc i was trying to get him comfy in his bassinet 😩
Girl I’ve been there and my son is now 5 months old and I have the same problem but your son is only a few days old so I wouldn’t stress over it just continue to attempt to put him in the bassinet
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...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
@inkedsouthernbelle I love that idea!
