“Do not forget to stick its head! Keeps his feet! Put the socks on Toddlers! Dress it more! Hold it so!”. Usually, our friends “grumble” about such things sitting on the couch, holding their children. In such a situation, you look at your husband and both of you think mentally: “This is to wait for your first baby”.
There are many parents who wait for their babies for a long time. This drives them crazy at times, and when the baby came, they began to overdo. Some of them even sleep on the floor to the fold, lit lamps, to check the baby’s breathing in every 20 minutes. If you are one of those mothers, you are not alone in your neuroticism. 10 mothers share their “best” stories from “Mother for the first time”.
- “I would not drive with my first baby for almost a month. I refused to leave her alone in the back seat. Baby and I went nowhere unless my friends came to pick me up and drop me off.”
- “I had my firstborn next to our bed in a cradle. I also had a baby monitor in his cradle so I could hear him breathe even though he was only three to four feet away. That was 12 years ago. Second baby. ..slept on his stomach. “
- “The first night after our son was born, my husband heard him spit up and immediately had a panic attack. He thought that the baby would certainly choke to death on it if he so much as sat down again. I got some great sleep, but hubby spent the rest of the night pacing the room! “
- “With my firstborn, I tried to keep everything silent in the house. I literally tiptoed past his room and never did laundry or anything else that made noise while he slept.”
- “For her first birthday, my daughter did not get to plunge into a frosting covered cake. I made her eat a very healthy carrot cake. My father-in-law teased me about it whenever he had the chance.”
6. “My first son had terrible jaundice. I was constantly asking my husband,” Do you think the baby looks less yellow now? “And he would answer,” Not any less than fifteen minutes ago. ”
7. “I would not even let my son ride in a car with my parents (who I trust 100%) for a couple years. I also did not want to leave him with anyone except my parents. I made sure I was home for his naps and washed his hands like crazy.“
8. “I put a dental mirror to her nostrils to see if she was breathing. She was a very quiet sleeper!”
9. “I had my son in a bassinet next to me. I worried he would quit breathing in the middle of the night, so I would try to sleep with my hand lightly over his stomach to feel him breathing. Then, I became paranoid that I might accidentally push too hard or my hand would move in my sleep … those were a few sleepless nights! At this point, my husband saved my sanity by moving the baby to the crib in the other room and putting our monitor to use! ”
10. “When my oldest was two months old, I had my mother-in-law come over to babysit for a few hours. I wrote two full pages of very detailed instructions for her to follow. She was very gracious and did not give me any grief about it, even though she’d raised seven babies of her own! ”
Did you do anything as a new mom that seems a little silly to you now?
