Which is easier with a newborn or a toddlers
You’re right, colic is incredibly difficult to get through! I felt like I survived an epic months-long battle by the time it passed.
@scruffy.nerf.herder, yes and there is absolutely nothing to help with it. The drops are a joke. The doctor said there’s nothing you can do but wait and so I did. I remember calling my sister who lives a few hours away crying and saying over and over “she can’t cry forever “ lol the only way I got through it was telling myself it wouldn’t last forever even though it felt that way
@kes253, oh momma, I can completely empathize with you on this! I think parents that haven’t been through this really can’t fully understand just how rough it is.
Neither 😭 I lost my mind when my son was a newborn & my daughter was in her terrible 2 stage lol & here I am again about to do it all over again 🙃
@mamalove563, honestly in my opinion it doesnt get to easy as they get older lol, yea they become some what independent but I still have really hard days with my kids to where I wanna lock myself in the bathroom. But I just take a breather & find a balance, slowly putting them the same schedule right after my son was born has helped me so much!
I bounce between both. I love the newborn stage. They sleep a lot. I also love the independence my toddler has
Lately me and my toddler been getting to some serious arguments about doing his hair he be hidding those combs and brushes every week i have to but new one
@mamalove563, my son argues too. He hates getting his hair cut. I have to distract him or reward him with something after.
For me toddler 🤷🏼♀️ my daughter had colic as a newborn so she cried 24-7 until she was close to 3-4 months I wanna say?? It felt like forever though so I’m not sure lol maybe more or less but literally no exaggeration if she wasn’t asleep (which she never slept for periods over 2 hours ! ) and if she wasn’t eating she was crying ! I cried with her most of those days and nights. It was awful . Some nights I just had to set her down beside me in her crib so I could watch her and just cry beside her on the floor cause I was so sleepy and she wouldn’t sleep and wouldn’t stop crying. It was hard having no help. Colic is THE WORST . She was an angel in her toddler stages though and now. She’s never been the type to throw tantrums and never even the type to make unnecessary messes , she pulls out what she wants to play with and plays with it then picks it all back up and puts it up and she’s always been that way . She’s smart sweet calm and minds soo well . I feel like her being such a good toddler / kid is life being like “I’m so sorry for those few months of hell I put you through “ lol
