Yes❤ Do not afraid baby get attached.. they're just a baby. Brace up your mind that you're a mother. You'll missed this moment when they're grown up and never wanted being cuddle and kissed by us❤
My son is going to be 9 months tomorrow it goes by soooooo fast! To be honest though I feel like the newborn stage was the easiest lol. It gets harder in my opinion. He’s my second and much more demanding than my daughter was, but even with her I thought it gets harder the older they get. Takes pics and videos though for the memories 😊😊😊😊😊
My newborn is a week old and I’ve been watching video after video and reading up on how to take care of a newborn,Plus my mom has helped SO much! Thank you!!
Having help makes it a lot easier. Relax, and know that this stage will pass before you know it. They grow up so quickly, enjoy, and love ❤️ your baby 👶 . Don't forget to ask for help when you need it.
We joke with my baby brother that we got 2 weeks of the 16 hour sleep and then he wanted to be invited to the function 😂 he wanted to be up so much that he came a whole 2 months early
Ooh poor you may not be getting enough to eat put tsp ceral rice r oatmeal make formula thicker feel the belly up what i had to do with my son he wanted eat all time wouldnt sleep oly dozed here there
hel get used to it he's probaly so used to all the noisey sounds and beeps etc from the NICU hel adjust to home and get used to it 😊 all the best with your baby
Last piece of advice is important. Grace for you, grace for your baby, grace for your husband, grace for other children. Grace is needed. Your trying to figure out that little new born, and that little new born is trying to figure out life.
I'm in this stage right now and I am utterly exhausted. I love my baby boy. I appreciate all the other Moms giving the advice about enjoying this stage. I know I will miss it one day. I'm just trying to soak it all in.
Parents need support too in the intensity of the newborn stage. Do you have supportive friends or a postpartum doula to help some so you don’t feel the struggle as much? Just curious.
Pediatrician told us that baby has to be around 13 pounds in order to sleep through the night. And the first night this happens new parents will awaken in a panic wondering what is wrong.
Yep. I would lose sleep with my first just from checking on her lol the camera didn’t show me if she was breathing I had to check myself at least 2-3 times a night :p
My son weighed 9-4 at birth and didn’t sleep through the night until he was 18 months old. Who knows why. There is no set formula that applies to all babies. It’s a total crap shoot.
First month was a little tiresome 😢 but then we really started to understand his needs and moods, when he was tired, cranky, hungry, happy, silly, and just happy to be in the moment 😊 and then the joyous moment of developing a happy, consistent sleep routine!!! We all slept better in our house! We all slept and we’re a much less stressed household ❤❤❤ We really worked with developing a sleep routine that helped him sleep more restfully 😊 I put a vibrating paddle under his mattress, a calming white noise machine in his room and a wedge pillow to help with any reflux or spit up while sleeping 😴 it was the magic combination. It put him into a deep slumber 😊😊😊
Well done, congratulations. Learn all you can, I didn't know that there are little in-built signs they give out. Enjoy every minute now and as they grow up. Before you know it, they're 21, 30, 40! OMG, where did the time go. Best wishes to your future ❤️
I love the newborn stage. I remember when my little brother was born, it was such a peaceful, bonding experience for us considering I was the last baby in the house for a while.
Sad to see so many parents who lack sleep. My mom told me that when I was born, I didn't cry. Never cried to get anything. They had to check on me to see if I was alright because of how silent I was... saddly, they don't serve me anymore, at 20 I'm the one doing the cleaning😹
You can and you should put them on a sleep and feeding schedule. They might fall out of sync a little bit but it's important they have some type of routine for your own sanity.
Yes! My parents need to hear the 1st one. It's like they forgot. They keep telling me to put my baby on a schedule and I'm like he's too young! I gotta work with his schedule
You're perants are from a different generation. And believe it or not a young baby can be put on a sleep schedule. You just need to work out when they are most likely to sleep and slowly change them the way you want them to sleep. Feed 5 minutes after thay wake up. For a week then if you want them to go the other way wake them up 2 minutes this takes longer but as babies don't sleep very long at first then it will work. Just work at it and be patient
Live in a newborn' shoes if you think you are suffering. Newborns go through huge changes from birth. Just within seconds they are exposed to: Oxygen, bright lights, sharp sounds (never experienced before), Space, temperature changes (first time out of the cosy warm mum's belly). Then digestion. Good luck babies, mummies and dadies❤❤❤
Excuse me don't you know that babies don't live in belly's or are you to affaid to say the word womb.. It makes me feel ashamed that a grow woman is like belly ughhh
@@kimholland4822 Are you afraid* to spell properly, or perhaps to use proper punctuation? It makes me feel ashamed that a grown woman has less language acuity than my 9 year old child. Furthermore, “belly” is used to refer colloquially to any abdominopelvic organs, including the uterus. Are you afraid to use the proper medical term, “uterus”? Why must you use the layperson’s term “womb”, then? You need to become a lot more educated if you want to be condescending to others.
@@kimholland4822 The "belly" encompasses the whole abdominal area, including the womb, guts, other internal organs etc. You may be thinking of "tummy" which is a pet name for "stomach", and yeah babies don't live in the mother's stomach!
And surround yourself with people that only bring positivity. This time is hard enough without negative energy, or people around you. Regardless, regardless of who it is, whether it be mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or even your spouse, don’t let the negative energy in. Focus on your baby And heal ❤
@@aishaahmed2429 Sometimes it's helpful when someone agrees that it's tough and gives you "permission" to feel tired and overwhelmed, rather than telling you it's a magical time you should be enjoying, which can just make you feel guilty or inferior if you're struggling. 😕
I dont have my own Baby, though I Love babies AND children s I am so blessed that I am assigned in NICU/NURSERY and PICU as well. Just Love what I am doing as a nurse.
My wife and I are going into our 3rd week with our 1st newborn. I miss sleeping!! 😂 I’m lucky enough to have 3 months off with her. Our baby literally feeds every two hours! No need for an alarm clock she will let us know! Patience is key and try to plan and prep ahead if you can. It makes the small things a bit easier 👍🏽
As a first time parent our pediatrician told us to wake NB every 2 hours for feeding ….. I was beyond exhausted and I hear people say just let them sleep 🙁
Let sleeping babies sleep. They will wake when they are hungry. By waking them up your changing their sleep pattern. And they won't feed properly. As long as they aren't sleeping for to long. 3 hours in the day and 4 half at night. Sleep when they sleep. Do as little as possible house work as long as the place is cleanish. Then who cares 😊
My newborn is 5 days old and if anything it’s hard to get her awake for tummy time! Haha 😂 it’s definitely super hard, but a precious time. Thank you for #4 I need to remember to give myself grace during this time 😪
Not for me. The newborn stage sucks. The toddler stage is so much more fun. Sure they follow you around and get into everything. Their laughs, smiles, and run when they find out their in trouble is so adorable.
@@AVKryshtalagreed. Newborn stage sucks. No sleep but I still need to wake up for work, work all day, come home late, take care of baby etc and it’s night time and the cycle restarts with a baby crying every 2 hours max
My baby is easy ❤😊 he's gonna have a lot of attitude when he gets older, I can already tell! He's hitting 3mo milestones at 3 weeks 😅 he slept through the night last night... I woke up first, in a panic, to feed him. Usually he wakes me up after 3-5hrs (I sleep on the couch next to his bassinet) but this time I woke up-- after over 6 hours! I felt so guilty but he's a happy little camper today 😊 he's napping in the wrap right now
My baby Isaac is turning one month old this Saturday ❤🎉 Honestly it's been really tiring but he's aware since day one he moved his head and looked all over the place I was amazed tbh he's so alert and he moves a lot 😂 He also recognizes my mom's voice 😮 My memory card is full of him ❤ I miss my sleep 😴
My new born is 4 days old, hes my first and we just brought him home and I agree, it is tough...he had us up all night the last 2 nights and decides to sleep during the day. We burp him, feed him and try to put him in his rocker but nothing works until that sun is up.
With my first child I used to bribe myself to make it through hard nights. I would promise myself that when the sun comes up I’m going out for coffee. I needed something to look forward to when the night felt endless. There was also a store I used to go to where he would fall asleep consistently. I went there all the time! An employee noticed I was there a lot and mentioned it one day. I told her, “This is the only place my baby sleeps!” And she laughed. She was an older lady and I think she remembered what it was like with a newborn.
Me and my wife just had our baby girl less than a day ago and I can’t sleep with the idea of her choking from spitting up the amniotic fluid! It scares me every time, I rush up and pick her up and start suctioning it away from her mouth 😩
I’m taking care of my newborn sister for my mom for a bit and she wouldn’t stop crying, so I tried to give her her bunny plush and lay her down in her rocking swing and she fell asleep sonfast
The newborn stage was extremely hard for me. For the first several weeks, i thought i regretted having my son. I went from sleeping 7 to 10 hours a day to 4 to 6 hours a day. My son is going to be 1 soon and i couldn't be more grateful for the toddler stage. I can finally sleep for 6 hours uninterrupted.
My son is 2 weeks old. He weighs 5 lbs and is a little snuggle bug. Let me tell you, I'm exhausted beyond words. Some nights have been long and difficult but I know I'm going to miss these days. I cherish every day with him. 💙
My son didnt reallt have to be "put down for a nap" at that age. If he was fed and warm and changed he just fell asleep wherever, whenever, no concern for light or sound lol
My 4 year old was best his 1st year. Now he's an angel in disguise. He's great around other people but just way too much to handle when it's just him and I. He's asleep by 9p and up at 4a then doesn't nap all day and he lies down at 8p. It's 1030p now and he's telling me how he don't need sleep and that he has better things to do. Sometimes I don't care if he stays up till midnight on weekends because he'll be up at 5a or 6a anyways. His mom says he's asleep at 830p when she has him but I don't think he really is.
That's odd I felt my sister was easy and I took her half the time for her night shifts since she was on formula. But then again that was during covid and I actually had the time to dedicate to her.
I loved carrying all mine in a papoose snuggled up against me it was almost like they was still in my womb. And I'm sure that it not only helped them sleep but we have a closer bond a better understanding of each other. Now they are grown. They was very advanced for their age to. Hand eye coordination recognition of thing's walking talking
Ha my newborn was sleeping 9h in the night without Waking me up 😎 But i needed to wake her up stuff like food etc becouse the doc said no matter if she want i need to wake her up for at least 10-15min xD
Most importantly, lack of sleep can mess with your head! It doesn’t make you weak, it makes you a normal tired human. If you are feeling overwhelmed set your baby in a safe place like the crib and give yourself 5-10 minutes to go to the bathroom, shower, eat, walk outside, etc. Repeat these little breaks as needed. You cannot neglect your own basic needs. Your baby might cry in this time but he or she is OKAY. Remind yourself, “My baby is annoyed with me for stepping away; but safe.” And then go handle your basic needs without guilt.
I was blessed! Both of my babies where so nice to me. It was exhausting for the first 3-4 weeks but after that I was getting good nights rest. I had to schedule alarm to wake up my second baby to feed him, he would sleep long stretches at night.
My second newborn slept for about 19 hours, then woke up for some food and diaper change. It was so easy to 🥰 First one was awful though: didn't sleep, cried if I wasn't holding her, hung onto my boob all day long or screamed 😵💫
I was very lucky during the newborn stage with my girl..... She woke up at roughly the same times to feed and would burp easily and go back to sleep after feeding and diaper change. After i hit the 6 week mark i would spend all day out of the house and she was around 4 months she started sleeping the entire night and she didn't regress in her sleep patterns. Shes 1.5 now and the only thing that changed is she is an acrobat while sleeping 😂
The 16hrs a day only last for a couple weeks. Theres still feeding throughout. And After that, accept the unpredictability of sleep and feeds for a few months x
It’s crazy to me to say “get thru it.” We are lucky that my wife doesn’t work but we’re fully rested and shes only a week old. It’s not as hard as everyone says and she’s so dang cute. I’m trying to take it all in because I know I’ll miss it forever

Sometimes I don't care if he stays up till midnight on weekends because he'll be up at 5a or 6a anyways. His mom says he's asleep at 830p when she has him but I don't think he really is.
It’s hard but damn the toddler stage is something else 😩😅 take me back to newborn stage please 😂
That's odd I felt my sister was easy and I took her half the time for her night shifts since she was on formula. But then again that was during covid and I actually had the time to dedicate to her.
He is so cute just looks like my baby ❤😍😘🥰
All 4 of mine were on a 4 hr feeding schedule and when they were taking about 6oz they slept through the night.
The newborn stage is the cutest stage for babies, but I'm glad I'm over that part. Hard is an UNDERSTATEMENT!!
I am so ready for a new one. Please God :)❤
Currently watching this while trying to get my newborn to stay asleep at 5am 😅
The nb stage is the easiest compared to when they get older! 😅
Enjoy the newborn stage because it's only for 4 weeks and then it's gone forever.... Cherish that time
So cute
I love new borns.
Mine is currently 2 weeks old and man the middle of the nights are TIRING 😂
Beautiful baby
I loved carrying all mine in a papoose snuggled up against me it was almost like they was still in my womb. And I'm sure that it not only helped them sleep but we have a closer bond a better understanding of each other. Now they are grown. They was very advanced for their age to. Hand eye coordination recognition of thing's walking talking
Ha my newborn was sleeping 9h in the night without Waking me up 😎 But i needed to wake her up stuff like food etc becouse the doc said no matter if she want i need to wake her up for at least 10-15min xD
Most importantly, lack of sleep can mess with your head! It doesn’t make you weak, it makes you a normal tired human.
If you are feeling overwhelmed set your baby in a safe place like the crib and give yourself 5-10 minutes to go to the bathroom, shower, eat, walk outside, etc. Repeat these little breaks as needed. You cannot neglect your own basic needs. Your baby might cry in this time but he or she is OKAY. Remind yourself, “My baby is annoyed with me for stepping away; but safe.” And then go handle your basic needs without guilt.
My baby girl kept the same hours awake as when they are born.
I share my newborn state was my easiest. It was all the others that grew harder. He's now 36. 😊
I believe the newborn stage was the easiest. I’m a mom of 5 that slept really good. I think the hardest for me was around puberty
They become demons at puberty. 😂
My 3 weeks old is sleeping for 3hrs lol
99 missed calls from drake
I have 7 other siblings. I’m 3rd oldest. The 5 after me were annoying loud when they were born and still annoyingly loud today.😂
It’s #4 for me lol they tried to warn me.
Also never use pillows and unless there swatted dont use blankets you can also use a sleep sack to keep them warm
I was blessed! Both of my babies where so nice to me. It was exhausting for the first 3-4 weeks but after that I was getting good nights rest.
I had to schedule alarm to wake up my second baby to feed him, he would sleep long stretches at night.
Honestly that was the easiest stage for me....mine are 8+9 and im struggling now more than i did back then.....soon to add another in nov so well see
Ooo s* it Im newborn,I can also sleep 16h a day😂
My second newborn slept for about 19 hours, then woke up for some food and diaper change. It was so easy to 🥰 First one was awful though: didn't sleep, cried if I wasn't holding her, hung onto my boob all day long or screamed 😵💫
My 5 day old baby was born a whole month early and will NOT swaddle and rolls on her side immediately. Desperate for senior 😩
My son was so good
I was very lucky during the newborn stage with my girl..... She woke up at roughly the same times to feed and would burp easily and go back to sleep after feeding and diaper change. After i hit the 6 week mark i would spend all day out of the house and she was around 4 months she started sleeping the entire night and she didn't regress in her sleep patterns. Shes 1.5 now and the only thing that changed is she is an acrobat while sleeping 😂
The Shnoze on that boy
I JUST HAD A NEWBORN BABY GIRL JUST 2 DAYS AGO
Been there done that
The 16hrs a day only last for a couple weeks. Theres still feeding throughout. And After that, accept the unpredictability of sleep and feeds for a few months x
Also, don’t beat yourself up as a failure if the newborn stage goes really smoothly and the next stage is difficult. All babies are different.
It’s crazy to me to say “get thru it.” We are lucky that my wife doesn’t work but we’re fully rested and shes only a week old. It’s not as hard as everyone says and she’s so dang cute. I’m trying to take it all in because I know I’ll miss it forever
