I need help 😫
My baby does literally the opposite of everything you said
My baby is 3 weeks old. He's been putting his hands in his mouth since day 1 when he gets upset or hungry
I don't know how I'll get any quiet with my toddler running around. I'll have my newborn sleeping on my lap and my 2 year old will start screaming right next to her.. its so stressful
My son also loves to pee when his diaper is off. That's why I started
shortly after birth with elimination communication with diapers as a back-up and often hold him out. Another reason was the poop explosion…. It's so much cooler if you don't have to change clothes at all etc. 😉
He likes it, the signals become clearer over time and we save more and more diapers. The practice can be done full-time, part-time, or just occasionally.
I’m a new dad, we had our baby 3 weeks ago, I can’t tell you how much we appreciate you. You are a wonderful woman. Thank you.
Thank you for the video. At what point is a walker ok?
People told me with my first one that babies don't even hear much for the first month and don't care about sounds or light. My 😢 so too, so he kept interrupting her sleep without doing the research. She slept poorly and was cranky for MONTHS. Eventually, I had enough and basically cut out any person out of my life who didn't want to do what I told that research showed. If they aren't willing to learn about babies, they shouldn't be forcing their "well-meaning advice" on me.
BTW: being interrupted in the sleep prevents proper brain development, can result in frequent nightmares, which is associated with a 6.5 times increase in risk for developing dementia later in life.
You've said on multiple occasions that babies can't put their hands in their mouth. Meanwhile my baby has been doing that since day one. Do you just have a really specific meaning in mind when you say it?
another great video thanks emma I recomend you and share you're videos with all my new mums
Ah yes, purple crying, also known as the "witching hour"
I've lost count of how many times I was told to put baby to sleep in a bright and loud environment.
When I brought my son to his grandparents people made sure to be as loud as they could. I could literally see my son begging to be put to sleep, his brain was completely offline staring at the distance and people thought "oh he's so alert!" when in fact he was overtired.
Result? My baby was awake for like 7 hours straight. The most he managed to sleep were 2 naps of 20 minutes at most. We were both miserable at the end of the day. I felt awful.
After he woke up to feed during that night he kept waking up every 1 hour only to suckle for little more than 5 minutes. He was so tired he couldn't keep himself awake for long enough to feel satiated.
I'm never letting this happen again. And neither should you.
“Well meaning parents” are the true real danger to society.
Thanks
Yup. A dark room and white noise were game changers for us when it came to sleep. Spent months miserable trying to follow people's advice and have naps with daylight and it took a sleep consultant to tell me to try the opposite. Life savior.
Your videos help me a lot thank you
Everybody tells me when my 1 month old sucks her hands, she is very hungry!
Helpful. Thank you.
