Least favorite baby task

HisChamaoleGirl · April 2014

What is your least favorite thing to do for LO. I am going to guess that a lot of people are going to say changing diapers, but I don't mind that too much. For me it is cutting her nails. I swear those things grow so fast it is hard to keep up. On top of that they are paper thin and she rolls around like crazy. It's like a wrestling match anytime I try to cut them down. Oh and the one time DH did it, he cut her and it seemed the bleeding would never stop. He wont even attempt it anymore.

Getting his boogies out of his nose. U wld think we were torturing him. And as soon a I'm done he stops fast. Lol. But he always has some

Cleaning up spit up. LO rarely does it but when she does it's everywhere. It causes so much laundry and my dog usually ends up licking up half of it before I can even get to it after cleaning up LO and I.

I dislike putting her in the car seat the most. As soon as I get one arm in the strap and work on the other she pulls the first one out. It's a constant struggle and comes down to if I can get her fastened faster than she can get herself unfastened.

Cleaning pump parts....hate it!

kje120 · April 2014

Giving him any sort of medicine. Getting any of it in him is next to impossible.

jlp0528 · April 2014

Cleaning her up after she eats, because you'd think I was wiping her face with sandpaper the way she acts!

LelaDenney · April 2014

@starscream‌ this is my second most disliked task. We use Dr.Browns and I dread giving bottles just for the simple fact I have to clean them. We EBF so it's rare but when it does happen...those bad boys stay dirty for awhile.

sugarkissed · April 2014

Well after this morning's mess I'm going to have to go with cleaning up diaper blow outs. Haha normal diapers are fine.

AlejandraN2 · April 2014

I'd have to say washing bottles too. Oh and maybe trying to figure out how to cut those nails. Those suckers grow so fast.

Albertsgirl1982 · April 2014

Cutting his toenails! He kicks all over the place. A close second is changing his clothes or diaper because he tries to roll and play. I end up sweaty and hestarts screaming. And I hate cleaning bottles and pump parts!

PumpkinMommaaa · April 2014

I would do all the chores if teething didn't bother her. I. Hate. The drool.

Salemkitty13 · April 2014

EBF poops were much better than solid poops but there are still worse chores. I was going to say fingernails because he's a total wolverine but the LEAST liked task is pumping. I LOATHE pumping. It's messy and inconvenient and it hurts.

JLMcWeeney · April 2014

I cloth diaper. I don't mind changing him, but I hate cleaning the poop off his diapers. Everything else about CDing is nbd to me.

mmdd20 · April 2014

Changing the crib sheets. I have to practically take the mattress out every single time.

Lately, bath time. He used to love it but now he just screams. He's too big for his sling bath but can't sit up so he lays in the bottom of the tub and I hunch over him. Not fun anymore.

Is he screaming because he is just laying flat or something? If I lay Desmond back in the tub, I use an inflatable bath pillow that has suction cups. I attach it to the bottom of the tub to lay him back on. It keeps him propped up.

Ughhhhh! This is the worst chore in the house! I would rather scrub a toilet, it's that much of a pain in the ass @mdesmet20‌ !$

Burrberrymum · April 2014

I have to go with cleaning her nose. And getting her dressed most days. Both those things are a huge challenge, she HATES if I ever go near her face, so to button that last button up near her neck is a huge meltdown.

HeatherMc78 · April 2014

I hate having to hold him down during vaccinations.

smilingeyes2308 · April 2014

I hate cleaning bottles. We just started supplementing and we're complete noobs. We bought a few different bottles until DD finally liked one (Playtex Nursers) and we only have 2. We supplement after ever BFing session so, I'm constantly washing bottles. Although they have liners so I'm not sure why I'm complaining. I just hate it. EBFing is so much easier

Cutting her nails is also a huge task these days. I just do 2-3 nails each diaper change. Only way I can get all nails done.

nbartlett47 · April 2014

Currently, I hate having to hook him up to the nebulizer. He hates it, and listening to him scream for 10 minutes breaks my heart. I imagine that he thinks I'm torturing him and he'll hate me forever.

I agree with the washing of bottles and pump parts. Thankfully DH is usually the one to do the dishes, so I get out of it most nights.

averettgirl · April 2014

I thoroughly dislike cleaning bottles. I work 40 hours on the weekends and after getting home at almost midnight already exhausted I have to boil my pump parts and wash bottles before I can even take a shower and go to bed before being right back at work at 7am the next day. Bleh.

This i wat I've always done. Accept DD hates it now and pulls her hand away. But she'll watch me steady while I cut them.

blond1230 · April 2014

Pumping. Hate it. Wish I could build a freezer stash but I can't do it unless it's to pump and dump for LO to not get mamas wine. The one week I tried to do it each day to get a stash, I got awful mastitis so I'm convinced that caused it too.

Definitely washing bottles.

redfallon · April 2014

I cut her nails when she's asleep. I use baby nail clippers. Never tried when she's awake.

I used to bite her nails all the time until just recently. Her nails are growing really strong and are hard to bite off, so I attempt with the clippers while she naps now instead.

ejb23 · April 2014

I used to hate baths but now I'm enjoying them more. I think cutting nails Is most stressful

HBirdie · April 2014

Freakin cleaning poop from the cloth diapers. They aren't solid yet but they sure aren't water soluble anymore! :-q And we don't have a toilet sprayer yet.

I also despise putting his lotions on him... he has dry, sensitive skin so if we aren't using hydrocortisone cream followed by copious amounts of aquaphor twice a day, he's miserably itchy. And of course he hates it.

happybride 276 · April 2014

Middle of the night feedings. I hate them. Not only do I lose sleep, but he also has started refusing to go in his crib after his first wake

@HBirdie have you thought about disposable liners? https://www.diapers.com/p/bumkins-flushable-diaper-liners-100ct-917026?noappbanner=true&utm_source=Diapers_SG&utm_medium=PDP_SG&utm_campaign=di-sg-to-mobile

@AbbyMMM: We have some, but it's really hard to predict his poops right now, and since he moves so much, they get kinda bunched up in his diaper, so they're completely ineffective at catching his (super runny still) poo. But hopefully they'll be more useful later!!
