I need some advice. My baby’s about to be 4 months old in a week. Me and my baby father just recently split up and I refuse to become one of those moms that hogs the kid and barely lets daddy see them. I know he’ll want to have her some days and even over night which I don’t have a problem with. My question is at what age? I mean I feel like she’s just so small still and I’m not sure how I’ll feel even when she’s a bit older. He hasn’t asked to take her yet but I’m not sure when he will want to or how to go about it. I just feel so attached & I work all week and a second job on weekends so I already spend a lot of time away from her and it hurts my heart. She sleeps in my bed, I can’t even imagine sleeping without her. Any advice? At what age did you feel comfortable doing this??
I was in this predicament, I waited until 9 months until he could stay with his dad and even then he’s around his grandma and aunts so I felt more comfortable. Like above poster, waiting until eating and sitting up on their own I felt more comfortable with it. 😊 good luck mama!
She's a bit young for over night visits. I'd wait till shes able to eat baby food and move around freely and safely (meaning rolling back and forth with ease and can lift herself up) so you don't have to worry about her rolling on to her face and not being able to roll back. So maybe like 8m?
Iv never been in this position but what I would do is just wait until I felt comfortable enough for him to have her over night. Maybe offer day visits but hold off on over night visits until she’s older ❤️
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
I’m genuinely trying to do this self soothing thing. She’s screaming even though she’s clean, dry and fed, her temperatures fine. She screamed for at least 10 minutes 😩😩I had to just go on about my business. It’s not easy😩😩but it had to be done
I know age is usually a thing girls don't talk about for some reason but what are your ages I just feel so alone being 18.
SOOO just found out my dad has cancer - I’m not sure the name of it I’m pretty sure it’s. Lymphoma… . I’m like not even sure how I feel it’s like kinda a numb feeling but then I think about the road ahead and I get super sad … idk
I’m really trying my hardest to help one of my friends but it’s so hard she doesn’t listen to my advice. She’s a stay at home mom and she has 3 kids under age 5. Her husband works full time 10-12 hour shifts 6 days a week and they depend solely on his income. She’s always telling me how bad they struggle and complaining about not having money and I send her part-time jobs she could get but she says childcare is the issue. I even found a daycare that would let her bring her two younger kids that ...
I'd wait till 1 year for any over night visits. But Let him have all the day visits he'd like within reason lol.
