Umm if your child/s father live/d with
you, does he or did he wake up when your
newborn baby started crying/screaming for
about 10 mins?
Garry dosent, and it makes me so mad and
angry, then it just depresses me and I
end up crying while im up sorting jay out,
and he's still snoring in bed.

My husband didn't get up b/c I was
nursing, but once we got them on bottles
(breastmilk bottles) he would get up. We
would take turns. A lot of men don't,
but that doesn't make it right. Have you
asked him to get up with her sometimes?
Hopefully you guys can figure out
something where you take turns or he can
at least get her a couple nights like
friday and saturday. I know it's so
hard, i'm sorry honey. She should be
sleeping through the night in a couple
months.

Well he works nights, mon tue fri sat and
sun from 11pm till 8am.
He sleeps during the day from well when
ever he wants..... Ive asked him if he
could maybe sleep from 3pm till 9pm but
we will have to see how that goes.
He only stays with me on a wednesday
night, but he sleeps pretty much all day
and all night. And just says its coz
he's exhausted from working all night the
night before.
I feel guilty askign him to do more...
Because he let me get 2 1/2- 3 hours
extra sleep this morning, though to be
honest I would have had the extra sleep
anyways, coz jay only wakes up every 3
hours for a feed, and I was knackered.
I was just wondering if it was jsut a
motherly thing that you wake up as soon as
your baby starts crying, and thats why the
dad is able to stay asleep?
I feel kinda mean for letting jay cry for
so long earlier, I had her on my bed, she
had just peed when I took her nappie off,
so I had just bathed her. So she was
screaming pretty bad.
But garry was asleep, and he wasnt even
stiring in his sleep. So I thought I
would see how long it took for her crying
to wake garry up.. Which is how I found
out that garry dosent wake up to her
crying.
Also..
I hate beign on my own. It gives me to
much time to think. And the more I think
the more I get depressed.
Does anyone else have that problem?
Sorry so long.

Daddy's def don't have the 'mother's ear'.
I hear everything and I get irritated
that he doesn't too. I have to wake him
up and I can't go back to sleep until the
baby's quiet. Sounds like you don't have
a lot of choices with his schedule and
all. And you do have a little post
partum depression. Can you get out of
the house at all? Just to take a walk,
you could take jay with you. You def
can't be home alone all day if you feel
like you have too much time to be sad.
Try to find a way you can get out of the
house for a couple hours a day, or every
other day at least. Take care. All I
can say is it will get easier.
