Soothing upset baby

I have a very hands on family and I think it comes from a place of wanting to help you out! When we are at my parents home or partners parents they love to hold him and will do everything they can to help soothe him so me and his dad can get a break, if he’s too distressed that’s when I’ll be like I think I might try and feed him but I do feel comfortable enough to be like I’ll take him back now! I just tell them what he likes so for example, I’ll be like he likes to be upright and walked around and majority of the times he’ll be okay but when I can clearly see he wants to be with me that’s when I’m like I’ll take him back now and never had any issues x x

@Nicole I need to look at it this way instead of automatically feeling like it’s them wanting to take over. I think it’s going to take me a while to be ok with it 😭

So easily done! But also remember it’s okay to feel the way you’re feeling it’s a natural instinct to want to soothe your baby! No way is right or wrong 🩷🩷 Teddy is my second so I think I’ve had to sort of adjust to allow others to take over but don’t get me wrong them crying can be so hard to hear when you’re designed to have baby with you at all times.. just feel confident enough to turn around and say “actually I need my baby now” xxxx

I can understand where ur coming from, I find it hard to see anybody else attempting to soothe baby. There is a thing called 4th trimester where bith mum and baby are adjusting, so it's going to be hard to be separate from baby for first 3 months

I'm the exact same and will only allow my husband to soothe our LO. The way I see it is I don't need a break/help with the baby, I need the dishes washed or just general help with the house 🤣 After the fourth trimester, I'll be more willing to have people soothe, but right now she just knows me and my husband.

Ooh this is helpful to have a bit of a timeframe in mind thank you ladies xxxx
