My baby was fussy most of the day today, cried a lot, calmed down just for a short period of time when I gave her a bottle. Then our neighbor across the street came by and managed to burp her in the sitting position. Boom, I got calm and happy baby all of the sudden. Seriously, sometimes I feel like I am losing it, it was so simple and yet I did not it do when my baby needed it most 😞
@jacobsmommy2018, I try to burp my daughter half way through her feeding by placing her on my shoulder but it does not always result in burp. She cries every time I take the bottle away. And I was told at the hospital that they don’t always burp so I sometimes go without hearing a burp.
@chaoticandloveit, thank you! I am trying and I thought I got this, but today was not my day.
@valerie_jean, True! I am lucky I have people to help when needed. Just need to remind myself that it is ok to be frustrated sometimes.
Your doing amazing like @valerie_jean said it takes a village to raise a baby. And now you know be able to do it next time. Have faith hope, and stay positive you hmgot this!!
Girl, I WISH I had neighbors like yours to help me out. That’s a blessing! Definitely take advantage of all of the help and never second guess your parenting ❤️
@maria_lizzie we all have days where it feels no matter what we are doing something wrong.. and on those days look for the small victories in the day like you have a 2m old baby girl and hosted your neighbor, or you gave her her bottle and she calmed down, or if it's a really bad day for me and it feels I don't have any small victories, you woke up today and are a mom, and you still tried are all wonderful victories.
