SPEND THE DAY WITH US

[@carliebourque2321]

Please do not lay her in devices not meant for sleep, even if you are awake. (Especially a pillow inside of the bassinet.) This causes positional asphyxiation, which is silent. Even if you are awake, you may never hear it. There’s a reason behind the warnings on all of these items.

Move the noisemaker out of the bassinet. It being that close to her head can affect her hearing.

[@GraceLynn-c4d]

Best advice I got when I had my son is to do everything you normally do at home, run the vacuum, have music on , make noise so that she will learn to sleep through anything! It’s a life saver especially when you’re out and about ❤❤❤ she is adorable ❤❤

[@JASMINESMOMMY]

That's good advice. When I had my 2nd child I had a 7 year old and I didn't even try to keep the the house silent. It doesn't help the baby be able to sleep well

Sounds like y’all are doing everything you can to keep her happy and healthy. Btw my son hated the glasses too. Let her get some sunlight through the window or a few minutes outside each day. That’ll help!

[@bayleeprice8874]

⁠@@alexandria65before the baby was born she mentioned a few times that she would try. She probably didnt yet because of how out of it she was when Ivory was born. Even if she doesnt bf she could decide to start pumping. It's not to late for her to try if she wants to or maybe she has and it just didnt work out. Either way baby is being fed and that's all that matters.

Not holding him physically hurt my body it was so hard to explain and he would not stop crying cuz his stomach was upset they did discharge me from their care the second day but i still stayed like normal with him absolutely nothing changed I still use their palms I stayed in that bed I stayed in the gowns they just didn't give me medication or check my vitals anymore unless I needed them to
