Things you didn't think would be annoying

serenaxo84 · November 2016

just for fun thought I would start a post of things "I didn't think would be annoying until I had a baby"!

for me it's baby clothes that have snaps! I hate one piece outfits with snaps that go all the way down- they require a onesie underneath and my baby's have always hated to be changed and kicking legs and buttons don't go together!

@serenaxo84 I had heard the snap thing, so I got footie pajamas with zippers. While the zipper is easy, I don't like putting him in it at night because it is harder to get his feet in and out of during changes! I just am sticking with gowns at night so I don't have to do anything.

I'm not a fan of the snaps either, I definitely prefer the zip up sleepers. I also find onesies annoying in general, i haven't mastered getting them over baby's head real well yet.

AshleyGemini24 · November 2016

+1 on the dislike of snap sleepers. Also, not a big fan of Luv's diapers. Barely wet diapers feel like they are soaked.

kennelchick · November 2016

+1 on the snaps. it's like a rubix cube at 3am.
I find washing bottles annoying at times, therapeutic at other tttimes.

For night time you MUST get bags. No messing with snaps or wiggly feet. To illustrate:

jkmix21 · November 2016

The Cat and Jack sleepers from target with the zippers are amazing! $12.99 for three of them and they zip from the bottom so you can pull out their feet and change and zip down. I use them almost every night!

lovelybabybumpz · November 2016

I have that ducky one. It's still so huge on her. Which I understand they are supposed to be sacks but even the arms have to be rolled three times. But I agree they're great for nighttime. And we will be using them when she outgrows her zippered bean swaddles as we call them. @NoraAurora

missmaehurt · November 2016

Agree with the snaps and I also hate the gowns wroth the open bottom. They're a PITA to get on her!

mamabearks1012 · November 2016

I have a couple of the sleep bags but baby is too small for them right now, the arms are huge. We use the Halo sleep sacks though at night and she loves it and it's pretty easy to change her.

serenaxo84 · November 2016

@kennelchick ugh I loathe bottle washing I think it's because I also have to wash all my pump parts. I do love that my dr browns bottles can be pumped right into tho saving me one wash!

serenaxo84 · November 2016

@noraaurora ohhh we have some of those! What do you put LO in under it?

sportiegrl1213 · November 2016

Agreed on the snaps ... I stick to kimono tops and swaddling or sleep sack right now at night. And zipper outfits during the day.

Am I the only one who hates bath time? Even being right there holding onto him, I still have this "DON'T LET HIM DROWN!" alarm going off in my head constantly. And it hurts my back to bend over that bathtub like that =/ my sinks are all wrong for baby bathing or I'd just wash him in there!

ibabyloveb87 · November 2016

@AllyTheKid I hate bath time too. I let DH handle it because it makes me nervous.

Zutano booties and a diaper! That's all she needs.

kennelchick · November 2016

@AllyTheKid I'm not a fan of bath time either. it's a pain in the ass, H insists on "helping" but in reality it would probably just be easier to do myself. I do like how well she sleeps after.

Divallyn · November 2016

I just bath with baby. I go in and have some "me" time for about twenty minutes then hubby brings me baby and takes her when I am done. I find it much easier and I find it does a better job. I always worry about her getting too cool if I bath her in the baby tub as her bum is really the only thing submerged (my sinks don't work for it either).

OrangeEv · November 2016

Puttinh that diaoer on drives me insane! He either locks his legs in froggy style or out straight or he's nad and kicking like a mofo. It takes me so long to get it on right. Ugh.

serenaxo84 · November 2016

@orangeEv and then he pees all over his head!

mothernorth · November 2016

I would bathe with Johnny, but he's one of those babies that gets so relaxed in the tub that he poops in it haha I'd rather not be covered in butt mustard!

CopperBoom86 · November 2016

It's annoying how heavy and large the carseat is! I'm a "one trip, even if my arms fall off" kinda person and it takes 2 or 3 trips to get everything into the house now. Grrr!

I also agree about washing bottles. My hands are dry all the time from the scalding hot water!

mothernorth · November 2016

@CopperBoom86 YES. Carseats blow...

F47 · November 2016

+1 on the car seats. I also hate putting my Tony little baby in one. I mean...tiny is relative, he was 9.2 lbs at birth. Anyway, he just looks so small and vulnerable in there. And, I feel like the straps are bigger than his neck/head.

MRSCORKER · November 2016

I feel the same way @F47! I hate the angle of his head but I'm apprehensive to use an insert because I've heard they're not safe.

jbal918 · November 2016

I HATE clothes with snaps I've come to learn too!

aesthyerin · November 2016

The never ending spit up after every feeding. She's gaining well but omg we are doing so much laundry

Same. Laundry is crazy!

MRSCORKER · November 2016

I didn't think actual helpful advice would be so annoying. Like, I get that the book you read really helped you and that's great but I'm fucking exhausted and don't even have time to brush my teeth. When the fuck am I gonna read that book?

wegme27 · November 2016

I learned about the dreaded snaps with my first one and wanted to curse anyone who got us snap sleepers for this one.

BabySunshine4 · November 2016

I dislike restrooms that don't have changing table stations, it makes changing diapers so much more difficult.

wegme27 · November 2016

@BabySunshine4 me too! I had to change DS at a Taco Bell on the way home from a vacation and they didn't have changing stations. Luckily he was 2 and could stand up so I had to figure it out that way and unfortunately it was a #2.

And why don't more men's rooms have them? My husband would do it in public if it weren't so dang impossible.

mothernorth · November 2016

Those are the exact reasons I always carry a portable changing pad. Many diaper bags even come with one that folds up in the bag now. If there isn't a changing table, I pop that changing pad down on the sink counter and change baby right there, and I don't care what anybody has to say about it.

ashleyp625 · November 2016

Lol, last week my mom volunteered to change him in a restaurant. She came back to get a blanket because the only surface to change him on was the trash can lid- ick! When we got home 2 hours later, I realized there's a built in changing pad on my diaper bag....mom fail!

mothernorth · November 2016

What is annoying to me recently: People comparing how my babies do/don't look alike. Especially when it's in the vein of implying that one is cuter than the other. OR asking of they have the same father

WTAF?

ball4768 · November 2016

@AllyTheKid We get that all the time because DD1 had blue eyes and fair skin, while DH and I have dark eyes and olive skin. People always ask, "Where did those blue eyes come from?" It's genetics, people. Of course, sometimes we tell them she got them from the mailman...

mamabearks1012 · November 2016

Speaking of mom fails...we took LO to the doctor yesterday and while we were waiting for the nurse to come in I noticed that baby's diaper was wet so I put on a new one, then they had us take that off so they could weigh her, and afterwards I put another clean diaper on her because she'd already peed in the newest one. Anyways, while we were waiting for the doctor to come in and see us, LO decided to make up for her lack of pooping for the day and had an explosive poop, it was bad, so we took that diaper off to change her again and realized that we didn't have anymore diapers packed. The doctor came in a few minutes later and I felt like such a newb with my huge diaper bag that contained zero diapers. Luckily she offered us one but I was definitely feeling like an amateur. The diaper bag is now packed with a BUNCH of diapers

BabySunshine4 · November 2016

@kmyers228 the same thing happened to me and this is baby #3! I say lets blame it on the lack if sleep

wegme27 · November 2016

We just had a couple creep on DH and I at the grocery store and at our second run in they asked to smell LO. WTF? Why would you want to smell my baby weirdos?

Lol, H's parents used to tell him he came from the mailman. H is white/American Indian and the mailman was black. He believed them. Hahaha
