Kinda getting tired of my boyfriend

You’re doing such a great job mama, your instinct is telling you to pick her up and give her comfort, listen to your motherly heart ❤️ your baby is grateful for you. These phases go away even though it tough times now. I’ve had times where my instinct told me to do something but someone else told me no, it felt so wrong to do the opposite of what I wanted. We have these feelings for a reason. Keep your cool as much as you can with outside voices, and do what YOU want and need to do for your baby Xx
Babies can’t talk, and they’ve only been in the world for like 2 weeks. What’s wrong with people? All they’ve known all their whole life up until the birth is darkness and completely wrapped up, curling up inside your womb. And you expect them to just know the difference with that little time in the world? I’d never understand this sort of thought process. With my first daughter, I actually set an alarm for every 3-4 to breastfeeding her, be it at 1am, 4am, 7am - I will get up and feed her, change her nappy because her skin was quite sensitive and wanted to prevent nappy rash as much as possible. I cuddled her whenever she needs, I still have to get up at 7:30 and go to work. I come back and have broken sleep. And when she was just a little over 2 years old, she can put herself to sleep, and she has started sleeping through the night since then. No training bs, no crying it out, pure love and care whenever she needs. I’m doing the same with my son, he’s 22 mths and can sleep on his own
My daughter is now 3 and a couple of months old and will give me hugs and kisses whenever she feels like doing it.
If he asks you to sleep with him in the same bed, tell him it might make him too spoilt. It's so strange that we expect BABIES to settle themselves and sleep independently and learn to self soothe from 12 WEEKS OLD when adults can't even do that properly. I pick up both my babies whenever they cry, I don't even feel bad or wrong for doing it, they're babies
You are building a secure attachment with your baby. When she's older, she'll thank you because she knows her needs were taken care of. Babies are incapable of manipulation by crying. lol, crying is their way of communicating they'll get older and start talking just like we are. For now, you hug and kiss and cuddle your baby. And if he wants his baby to be anxious towards him , wondering if he'll come when she calls, let him .
There is no spoiling a baby 😐
I feel the same exact way! My son is only 5 weeks old and every time he cries I can’t help but go to him. He really only wants/needs to be held and cuddled, which I’m so happy to do. But my boyfriend thinks he needs to cry it out and it breaks my heart.
