Stop grabbing my nipples with your razor
claws. I know you accidentally popped off the boob before you were ready but it's not my nipple's fault.

Re: I love you baby but please..
I love you baby, but please, PLEASE stop fighting sleep all day. You need your naps and frankly so do I.

I love you baby but please stop choosing witching hour at dinner time, and when daddy gets home from work. Poor guy doesn't see you all day and you scream in his face when he does.
(Although thank you for moving on from epic once a day poops and spreading it out between different changes. That definitely makes for less laundry after you poop all over the changing table repeatedly in the middle of changes.)
I love you baby, but please take naps during the day in your crib. You sleep there just fine at night. Mommy would enjoy getting to nap as well, or at least get a break from holding you 14 + hours per day!
Just wanted to add to this - go to sleep for more than 5-10 mins in one stretch on that surface that is actually made for *babies*. That is right, they make and market all sorts of things for babies, and you are a baby, yet you reject every single one.
Sorry for the tangent but also yes, not 5-10 minutes more like for a 3-4 hour stretch.
I worry this needs to be added just in case baby is crafty and is like, "well, I went to sleep on that baby sleep surface thing that seems to break my little back, my amazing spirit, and loving heart for 8 minutes so there, I willingly did my part, even though it goes against everything I stand for."
Then they could add, "immediately stop everything - pick me up, walk me around (keep walking or I will yell, a bouncing exercise ball may or may not be acceptable as well, and this may be done either inside or outside the house depending my whims), feed me, cuddle me, tell me how cute I am while looking at me so sweetly and adoringly, entertain me from time to time (we will play a game like infant baby charades and I will yell while you cause confusion and delay until you finally pick an activity I like and that is how you know you figured it out - I stop yelling) and let me sleep on your chest for 23.52/7, see, not 24/7 because I gifted you 8 minutes, k, thanks. You will have spurts of "time to yourself" to watch Netflix shows and buy me random cute stuff online during the time you stay awake - not moving - so I can stay comfortable while I sleep on your chest."
So that is why I thought it might be good to add a clause.
(Sobs as the discovery was made tonight that the adorable newborn sleepers are no longer fitting as great as the 0-3)
Also, screaming at me because I took said nipple away to give you a moment to refocus does not help either of us....
I love you baby but don't expect too much excitement when you smile and want to play at 1 am. Although you're super cute when you do it.

@AliciaD39 this! Her pediatrician told me it's normal for breastfed babies to do this, not because they are trying to push it out but because they are trying to hold it in to regulate their systems. She said since their poop is more runny than formula fed babies they try to regulate by holding in the poop... I can't stand it
ETA: please baby, stop sleeping with your eyes open! It creeps me out. I can always tell because her eyes move a lot faster and roll back. I'm hoping she grows out of it!
