I Feel Like a Bad Mom

I feel like I put brooklyn in her swing
too much, lately ive been trying to get
caught up on my homeschooling, and also
trying to keep the house clean... She
looks so bored out of her mind, and I feel
like I dont hold her enough. Am I a bad
mom cuz I rely on that swing too much? I
really feel like it. Sometimes shes just
way too squirmy and I cant hold onto her,
so I put her in her swing. I feel like I
dont spend as much time as I should be
with her.

Ur not a bad mom!!!! U also need to get
cealning done and what not. Right now
danica's in her bouncer and shes startin
to look bored, but it doesnt mean im a bad
mom! Babies get bored easily,
andsometimes they do want to be held but
they also cant be held all the time. U
have things to do and baby doesn't care if
she has to sit down and play with her
other things or swing. As long as u spend
some timr with her playing with her, she
wont care at all! Dont worry hun! Ur not
bad at all! It shows ur a great mom when
u ask advice and for help from people like
u usually do on here!

I feel bad cuz I pick her up when she
wants to be held, but im always in such a
hurry to get things done, I put her right
back in it once she feels better... Then
she looks all sad, and it makes me sad.
Ive tried using one of them baby carriers
but she cries when I put her in it...

an lookin round on my shoulder, but when I
need to get things done, I sometimes put
her down n then she'l give me a pouty look

Not a bad mom!!!! As long as she is not
hungry or dirty, she will be fine to cry
for a bit. If she is fine and happy -
let her be. I know it's hard in the
beginning to get used to that, but before
long, you will.

Yup, they tear me up too... What also
tears me up (but a good way) is when she
is eating, and she looks up at me and
smiles... Hehe its soo cute when she
smiles while im feeding her. Does danica
do that? Brooklyn is constantly doing it,
sometimes it interferes with her eating.
Oh and thankgod, I think she is finally
getting closer to sleeping through the
night... I put her down around 11, and
she wakes up at 4, but I dont think its to
eat anymore, cuz today she didnt eat at 4,
she just wanted to gum me until she fell
back asleep lol. Hopefully soon I will be
gettin a full nights sleep. I think that
might help with my little bouts of
depression too... Lol thankyou shauna,
you helped me feel better.

Well I plan on introducing cereal when
shes about 4-5 months, depending on how
well my milk keeps her filled up (in the
books it says 4-6 months is best, because
before or after that, there is a higher
rish for alergies) and then at 6 months im
gonna introduce more variety of baby
foods, but im maybe gonna continue
breastfeeding for awhile after that,
maybe, depending on teeth, and how much of
a pain in the butt it is to feed a bigger
baby... Shes getting longer now, so its
more complicated to feed her lol... Did
you notice that? As danica got bigger,
was it harder to hold her? But yea, im
breastfeeding until at least 6 months...
Lol hopefully teeth wont come for awhile!

There is no such thing as butting in...
We have private messages, for private
conversations... On the forum, just jump
into any conversation you feel like... If
somebody doesnt want somebody else to say
something, then its their fault for not
using private messages
