Nervous about Christmas

I had a family gathering this last Saturday and it messed my baby’s routine up soo bad that he was extremely upset and fussy on Sunday and it was literally just because he was exhausted.. he barely napped on Saturday and was being passed around from family member to family member.. I’d say do your absolute best to try to keep baby on schedule even if you have to put your foot down to make sure baby is getting their naps in!

Babywear will prevent passing the baby around

And be prepared, your baby might get overstimulated and get really fussy

I would say know your baby… my girl had no issues at Thanksgiving and did fine. I think it depends on you, your kiddos temperament and your routine. Our routine is very fluid. I am a working mom so my girl goes to daycare during the week and weekends vary… our routine is not always the same, and both of my girls have done pretty well with that and enjoy time with our family on holidays. If you baby struggles with routines being disrupted, try to keep it, but if they don’t normally, it’ll probably be ok.

I’m totally nervous about it too. My step kids came in to visit and although I love having them their baby brother is definitely feeling the chaos. They’re only 4 & 5 so they have a lot of energy. But my son has never been so fussy before and it’s making me anxious about the holidays as well. He won’t even latch. I haven’t been able to nurse him. He’s only been taking the bottle and it’s stressing me out. Praying for a smooth couple days 🙏🏽
