Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Name one thing

That you dislike about baby care.  Don't say nothing because I won't believe you.

Me:  I loathe pumping.  I wish I didn't have to, but it's the only way that Jack will eat these days.

What about you?

Re: Name one thing

  • When you have to change something for the best, but it sucks for a while. EX: When we moved DS from PNP in room to the crib. He was pretty much sleeping through the night in his PNP. Then when we moved him into the crib he would wake up. It sucked, but we knew we had to do it.
  • Loading the player...
  • I hate pumping also, but it brings out the competitive nature in me.  I like to see which boob will give more milk.  I make little bets with myself about it.  ]

    I utterly loath trimming their little nails. Instead of trimming them, I bite them.

  • Middle of the night feedings...  I'd trade one of my kidneys for a full night's sleep.

  • Bath time. DS loves it, but it just stresses me out. Filling the tub, is he gonna poop, is it too hot, did I get him clean enough, trying to get finger and toe jam...

    Don't forget about behind the ears.  Jack HATES that part for some reason.

  • nail filing tops my list. 
  • Burping. Not the noun the verb. DD is a horrible burper , i practically have to do the hokey-pokey and shake her all about before she gives me one lousy burp. . .not the most fun thing to do at 3am.  .
  • I hate waking up in the middle of the night to feed DS. 
  • Spit up.  Trying to catch the stream.
  • The spit up. Getting spit up on. Cleaning the mess up.
    Effing crazy people.
  • My answer would be nothing, but because you said you wont believe it, I'll go with being pooped on. DD has pooped on me many times and nobody else. I guess I just inspire her. lol

  • When DD wakes me up early in the morning by shrieking.

  • Spit up! And burping! I hate those things soooo much! He screams like I'm hurting him when I burp him, then pukes all over me. It's the worst!

  • Diaper changing. He has peed and pooped on both my husband and my mom in the middle of a diaper change. Sooner or later it will be my turn and i am scared!

    Oooohh in between the toes, fingers, behind the ears and skin folds! Nasty nasty jam! I mean wtf how do they even get them?! Babies are like the cleanest of all human beings! LOL

  • Now that the colic-crying is over (THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!), nothing.

    Prior to that - The colic crying and how frustrated I would get with this poor little baby.  And then how frustrated I would get with myself for having to say, "Take him!" to DH and hand the baby-off.  Ugh.  The whole thing was awful.

    Now... nothing.  I'll happily get up every 3 or 4 hours through the night with him as long as there isn't hours and HOURS of unexplained crying.

  • I don't like having to give my babyprescription medication - reflux - so tiny, fragile and new and getting pumped with drugs!

  • I hate not being able to soothe her when she is having gassy/colic issues. Yesterday it seemed that when she wasn't asleep or eating, she was crying.

  • Those stupid little mittens! DD is in to attacking her face right now and I try to keep her nails trimmed but sometimes she just wont let me. So I put on the mittens and Jesus they NEVER stay on! Also waking up at night is not my cup of tea.
