Has anyone experienced having a newborn( 6 weeks)that doesn’t sleep during (maybe take a cat nap -no longer than 10 minutes) the day if you lay him/her down and wants to be held all day long?
How did you deal with this? I’m struggling to eat, get dressed , etc during the daytime because she wants to be held all day.
I tried using my Bjorn carrier but it’s not always comfortable for me even when trying to eat, etc.
Thanks, I’ll need to get a more comfortable carrier and I’ll keep trying to use the swing
My youngest was this way and the only way I could get anything done was wearing him. He eventually took to the swing around 2 1/2 months and would let me place him in there for about 20 to 30 minutes at a time. If I got lucky hed pass out for awhile.
Do you have a swing? My daughter was like that and a swing with the little mirror and mobile with sounds was the only thing i could put her in for long enough to eat without her pitching a fit. It was really rough for awhile. My daughter is 16 months and still super attached. I can't cook or shower without her being super upset
I have a swing but she doesn’t like it and cries after a few minutes. I’ll keep trying though. One day she might surprise me
@withlovedkj might need to try a different type. my LO didnt like the one i had bought or the mamaroo but we tried the snugapuppy one at my sisters one day and she suprised me. They can be so picky sometimes
You just hold them. It is tough but they’ll grow out of it in a few months. Both my girls are like this and I literally get nothing done
I understand. I’m in that situation now so I get what I can get done but I’m really concerned with not being able to pump milk for storage since I’ll be going back to work soon so that kinda stresses me a little.
Mine needed to be held constantly. So I just wore her. Yes it wasn’t always comfy but I got used to it. But it didn’t take very long before she was content in her swing
Ok, thanks. I will have to get a more comfortable carrier to keep her close. She doesn’t like the swing at the moment.
crazy how all the black people were very vocal about wanting support during the devastating murdering of George Floyd but I have yet to see you all posting about Vanessa Gullien the Latina women that was murdered you guys want support but don’t give it to other communities lol typical no outrage no protest no post about her but you want all this support given to you make it make sense.
To all BBers...
I just wanted to let you all know I am thankful that you guys look out for one another, always give your opinion, and try to make people feel better when they are feeling down...you women are amazing...have a blessed night/day...☺️

I want to hear from all you mommies what you are craving or craved during pregnancy.
I'm a watermelon girl. I also like refried beans. I do however find myself wanting random things but only one serving. what about you?
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
I did like the baby ktan carrier for wearing her most of the time.
