Has he lost his mind?! 🤬

Ok so backstory….we combo feed our 3 month old. I usually breastfeed her first & then let her have a formula bottle if she’s still hungry. Today, I was in the kitchen prepping dinner & my husband was in the living room with our daughter. She starts crying & then I remember that it’s time for her to eat again. So I send my oldest daughter upstairs to go warm up a bottle so she can eat while I’m still cooking. Bottle is taking an eternity to warm up so she starts crying louder & harder. I stop what I’m doing to go get her so I can breastfeed her until the bottle is ready. I reach for her & my husband says “No. She needs to learn how to wait. You’re spoiling her by jumping up when she cries.” (tf 🤨) And I’m like you do know crying is literally the only way she can communicate to us. And he goes “ Well she needs to learn a better way to communicate bc you have her thinking that crying like this will let her have her way” (tf 😠) She doesn’t even know her own name yet. How tf is she gonna tell us she’s hungry at THREE MONTHS OLD? Men 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Show your support

Ooooo I can feel the vein popping on my forehead now 😤😅 I would rather give my baby my nipple while waiting for the formula to warm up instead of hearing those heartbreaking cries too! Teaching a baby to wait is setting yourself up for disaster imo. Depending on the situation…it’s just not worth the screams and tears by forcing baby to wait. Comforting the baby by rocking or walking around with the baby can only do so much. GIVE DA BABY DA NIPPLE OK! 👌

How old he is? Probably do not know anything about the child , development, and never even read a book👌 Your post show selfishness, ignorance , intolerance of the cry, so be careful with him, he might one day shake the baby or do something not acceptable just because he feels like this… Better let him to cook and you stay with baby…

Ask what other way he thinks she should communicate right now. Give a looooong pause. (There is literally no other way) Let him hold her screaming and instruct him to show you what he means. After 2 minutes he will give up and hand her back to you. Just let it play out and try to be patient. He is the one who actually needs to learn in this scenario, and it'll go down easier without a big "I told you so" at the end. No matter how much he deserves one. 🙄🙄🙄

Oh so sorry! To be fair, babies do communicate BEFORE they cry! For hunger it could be sticking out the tongue, eating their hands etc Maybe you can teach him those cues?! Then the babies die snot need to cry

OmG please be careful so he doesn’t hurt your baby

He needs to read a parenting book

I agree with Bonny, but I'd also tell him that he can teach her to communicate another way, and until he has done so, you will answer her cries. I'd also be petty and spam him with articles about how babies communicate, how important it is to respond, and how it isn't spoiling them. He needs to learn and do better!

I’ve seen other dads say this to their 11 week old baby. They really don’t get it and just aren’t at all prepared like we are. He needs to learn though
