I am expecting my first baby March 9, 2015. And I couldn't be more excited! What really takes away from this positive experience is that my s/o thinks he knows everything there is to know about newborns and babies...well raising a kid in general. He is a first timer as well. When I suggest the Tommee Tippee bottles (because my sister used them and LOVES them) he says "a bottles a bottle! A baby doesn't care if it's getting the best one" um hello?! Now this is just the most recent one that's ticked me off. When we talk about cribs he just assumes everything will be given to him by his family (who's children have outgrown things) so he can't make any commitments on cribs, nursery decorations, changing table...
He's so excited and so great with children but his lack of commitment to solid plans is really bothering me! Everytime I bring up my frustration he says I'm over reacting and I shouldn't let his knowledge bother me cause he is only trying to help.
Is this hormones?! I don't feel like I'm over reacting.
Re: Venting?
Just a side note we used TT bottles and our son did great with them. It is also good for breast feeding moms, since the nipple does a better job of imitating the real thing. I plan on using them again this time. Of course each baby likes different things, but our son wouldn't use anything else, we tried lol!
H told me that he will never change a diaper without gloves..... Really? Okay, we will see how that one goes.
