Annoying

The most annoying thing to me is when ppl say yes we’ll watch her and then don’t log her milk intake. How am I supposed to just magically know when her next bottle will be if I don’t know when her last one is! And then I’m the bad guy because I don’t want anyone “helping” me

I would say, it’s a very narrow season of life where that matters, so other people, even parents, don’t think about it. Some people don’t feed in a schedule either, we don’t, we just feed when she’s hungry. I think people can still help, just be clear about what you need. Tell them to please record when and how much she eats. People want to help and most are happy to do things like that if asked. It can be frustrating for sure.

She hasn’t been passed 4oz since she was 2 months old and has acid reflux so it’s important to know when her bottles are since I have to give her meds accordingly and everyone in the house knows it just seems to not remember. They also have phones basically in hands all the time so it honestly shouldn’t be that hard to look at the time. If I say her last bottle was at 6:30 her next one should obviously be 9:30 but I always get a “around 10-15 I think I don’t remember” like okayyy.. and then I never want to leave her and they wonder why she’s so attached to mom only..

That’s frustrating and I would be equally annoyed/pissed. I am sorry sis!

I don’t let anyone watch my son yet (not even his dad) but my mom has stayed over here a few nights so I can rest and she at least writes it down on paper because I log everythingggg

Don’t take it the wrong way but stop complaining and do it yourself, you know she have to take meds so take that into your head if you know they have their phone in their hand them text them hey feed baby and now remember she have to take meds at this time,

I would have them set a reminder/alarm on their phone. That way it’s easier. When we had in laws watch our LO, we texted them to ask has she eaten yet around the time we thought she’d be hungry. That way we have a timestamp. If it’s too big of an issue with the medication, then it’s best to communicate that you don’t feel comfortable with them watching your LO because of that so they will understand it’s not you being rude, it’s literally to help your baby
