I left baby with DH for the first time today (to attend school). It was only 2 hrs but LO won't take a bottle so we had to try and time it perfectly. I had such crazy anxiety that my stomach was upset after! I know he's completly fine with daddy but I just felt so bad leaving.
LO was complete content napping when I got back and probably didn't even know I'd left. This is the only time I've ever had any type of anxiety symptoms but it was just awful!
-I accidentally burned him with hot water in the tub the other night, it was very mild and he only cried for 5 minutes and his skin was red for only an hour but I cried for about 2 hours
I did this a couple of weeks ago. I don't think I burned him but he cried as soon as I put him in the bath (he usually loves his bath) before I realized it was too hot. I felt awful. Makes me feel less guilty knowing I'm not the only one.
My son hated bathes. Then loves it when daddy gave him his bath. Turns out I was using too cold of water. Ha! i was scared to burn him but didn't realize quite how cold I was using. Ops. I feel awful about his ice baths.
-Now that LO is much more alert and needs to be entertained at all times I feel overwhelmed. Being on all day is dragging me down -We watch way too much tv but he loves to talk to it and it gives me time to stop singing The Wheels On The Bus... -I'm on my phone too much but it's my only connection to the outside world and I need that. DS got very sick and other then doc visits and 1 trip to the hospital..I have not left my house since Christmas Eve. I'm. going. insane. -When my DH holds our DS he continuously needs to look at me and he just smiles. I catch him looking at me when I'm not looking and all I see is him smiling. I know it makes my DH jealous but I fucking love it. -I miss having a job and earning money but I trust no one to watch LO for that long period of time so I'll stick to being poor for now -DS and I go to sleep too late and we sleep in until 1-2 pm every day. I feel guilty but at the same time I don't. He wants to sleep so I cash that shit in for myself too
-we co sleep (my husband, myself, baby.... And the dog at our feet) -we have no nap routine. And most naps are in my lap. Or we push him around the house in the stroller til he falls asleep -we really don't have a set bedtime routine either and we often stay our way too late with baby -I bite his nails to trim them -I let him sit in diapers way too long -I never ever thought I would let him watch tv but Mickey Mouse has become my best friend lately.... -I seriously never ever do tummy time. Like, ever. I mostly forget, and when I try he hates it so much that I just don't make him. He's not even close to rolling over and he's 4 months old. -I often use breast feeding when we're out as an excuse to avoid making conversation in social settings
