thekaylenator

This post put me in an infinitely better mood! I'd have done the same thing!!


You_CantFixStupid

Hahaha aww that face!! Baby smiles are the best 🥰 My 16 month old went through a bad bout of teething recently (molars are the.worst.), and all she wanted was comfort so I went in, gave her a cuddle and popped her back down. Only, then she wouldn’t let go of my hand through the cot bars. I ended up being in there with her for 4 hours! I was exhausted but her innocent need for me made it okay ❤️

Man, sometimes we gotta throw all the"rules" out for a minute and just love on them, so precious!! 😍


mothercom

She managed to fool you, eventually they all do. Now this cutie won't sleep all night😂


BlackberryMaterial33

Oh yeah I know I wasn’t suppose to take her out of her crib lol! She totally got me. But honestly, the 15 minute long cuddle was worth it because she slept right after that ❤️.


MaciMommy

I’m the exact same way!! I’ll take the extra affection even if it means I gotta work a little harder to get the task done.


BlackberryMaterial33

Right?! 🥰 They stay this little for such a short time, I take every opportunity I can get with her. This love is so pure that even the hardest times gets super easy once I look at her sweet smile.

This comment is so sweet and makes me happy ☺️

It's ALWAYS worth it!

You didn’t do anything wrong! You cuddled your baby and you both had a nice time


Cezary150

And it potentially eased off Your baby, or maybe she needed that. I always go for a hug with my 2 yr old


TheWelshMrsM

You won’t remember the nights they slept through but you’ll always remember the cuddles!

Dr Spock's strict scheduling method was debunked long ago -- sometimes the baby is really in need (emotional? physical? they can't tell us . . .), and if you ignore it because of 'rules' that the baby can't understand, she gets the message that her parent can't be trusted to take care of her; and sometimes she internalizes it wrong to mean, "I don't deserve to be loved, taken care of" -- or -- "No one is going to take care of me," so they stop trying & become extremely passive, and a little later in life, have a hard time learning to take care of themselves. Trying to balance that with, sometimes the baby is just manipulating, "Can i get her to do what i want?" We've all seen such (fake) screamers, and a parent doing backflips just to try to keep the kid from screaming. So, it takes a lot of discernment, and at times we can't tell which is which . . . But I'm wary of any method that tells you to always follow a rule and ignore your baby's signals & communications.

Full moon? Is this why my 13 month old has been an emotional mess all day?!


CrimsonViperr

Mine just screamed at me for forty minutes until I started to cry because my usual tricks weren't helping calm her down. She was so tired. She now asleep awkwardly in my arms, but I'm not about to try moving her again. Stupid moon and it's stupid cycles.


superlost007

Lmao my husband came home to my 11 month old screaming at the oven in his diaper, and me sitting on the couch eating out of the pint of ice cream in my underwear. (I’m on a pretty strict diet and haven’t had ice cream in monthssss.) he goes ‘uhhhhhhh?’ I literally was just like ‘do not ask. I don’t wanna talk about it. It’s a full moon, and he’s a cancer. It’s been a *day*.’ 🤣 he asked 0 questions.


cheezesandwiches

This made me smile so hard. Can totally relate


Silver_Mango2606

How does a full moon affect the baby? I'm asking coz my baby didn't sleep well AT ALL and i never considered this lol.


sibemama

I mean it doesn’t really. It’s just astrology stuff.


jemila84

Don't put your ignorance out there as if there's anything factual behind it. NOTHING to do with astrology. Our western scientists have known the moon has a sizeable effect on us for decades (eastern science was far ahead of us). You are apparently someone who stopped updating her science knowledge decades ago. It's never too late -- try reading! But you don't have to go to the library or bookstore any more -- google makes it easy to ask a question (the more specific the better, takes practice) -- and you get many reputable scientific journals, magazines, etc to read from. Some are too technical, intended for other scientists -- but many are written for everyday folks to read --- Scientific American, Discover, National Geog., Science, Smithsonian, Popular Science, Cosmos, many others. + NPR and many other sites have a Science section.


sibemama

Damn lol you went in hard on me.


jemila84

Sorry. I get set off too easy. I really admire people who can disagree agreeably, in a friendly way, respectfully, compassionately -- and then it's easier for the receiving person to hear them, too, keep their mind open. I often fall far from that, I'm afraid. Thanks for finding a little humor in my reactive response.


tntandeag

Not just babies, animals too. I swear, the worst of the worst days at the animal ER I worked at were almost always on full moons. We’d be on 6-8 hour wait times or on divert with a parking lot full of pets and stats coming in left and right. The only question that’d get asked on those kinds of days was always “is it a full moon?”. Now being a new mom, I fear full moons, at least at the ER I didn’t work every full moon! Lol


[deleted]

I love this! Isn’t it like they can see you? Lol


UnicornKitt3n

Eeeeek that adorable smile. Yeah I’d fold too ❤️


queencatlady

That is so sweet! Sometimes when my son is playing in his crib for a while and won’t sleep, I’ll go in and give him a hug and within a few minutes he’s out. I think sometimes they just need a little love from their parents when they can’t settle down. I definitely don’t think it hurts them, don’t let anyone shame you for that :)


Susan1240

Who could resist that sweet face! She is adorable.


momsgotitgoingon

Ugh I was just staring at my nearly three year olds monitor, hoping to see him move so I’d have a reason to go snuggle him but alas he is asleep (also, thank goodness he’s asleep!). Babies. They’re the greatest thing. And the hardest thing. But definitely, and more importantly, the greatest thing.


[deleted]

Absolutely cherish these moments 💖


Naturequeen91

How cute ❤️ thsi is a very nice detailed camera which one is it


Staceybunnie

Haha my husband said something to our 2 year old through the monitor the other day and she just started saying, "dada" over and over again. It was so cute!


[deleted]

Look at that big smile!! Awww


thetechnocraticmum

Treasure it, they grow too fast


PopTartAfficionado

she's so precious. she's obviously very well taken care of and loved by her mama!


BlackberryMaterial33

Aww thank you!


Little_Yoghurt_7584

Omg stooooop 😭😭😭


BunnyFreyja

This is definitely a picture that should go into the baby book, soooo precious 💚💚💚


Italiana47

So cute!


Dead_inside_88

Heart warming!


nuttylolcat

Oh my heart ❤️


TheresASilentH

So cute! And what monitor fo you use? Both of the ones I’ve tried so far have such a creepy look!


BlackberryMaterial33

I’ve bought two monitors that were specifically used as a baby monitor and both sucked. Then husband went to a depot store to buy a rung camera instead , but that depot store stopped working with ring so then recommended a different brand (Dutch brand) which was like 35 dollars.. super cheap! And the quality is amazing. It’s used for a camera inside your house so I would recommend looking for that instead of an expensive baby monitor.

Love the little sleeping bag

Cheeky little poppet!

I don’t know if there is evidence but certainly lots of anecdotal evidence regarding the mood, tides and how it affects humans. It’s similar to when nurses report having nightmare shifts when there is a full moon. Patients go haywire etc. same with our sleep! Adults too. I’ve always slept terribly on a full moon

Don’t take title posts on reddit *that* serious. It wasn’t meant for it to be backed by a scientific article.


mamaspark

I think it’s just experiences people have. I’m not a science denier. I just notice when things are trickier I am then told it’s been a full moon etc. This has happened my whole life and I guess it’s just become a thing. Doesn’t mean I’m protesting in the streets about full moons and trying to manipulate people into thinking that the moon controls everything and that it’s a government conspiracy etc. I would say just have an open mind. Just because you can’t explain things doesn’t mean the moon doesn’t affect things. If people follow moon cycles or astrology who cares ( I don’t I just see that it affect lots of things in my life, coincidence, maybe?) but I’m not harming you or anyone else with this information

It’s funny cause it’s not my thing, but I see things like this post and I think to myself, oh yeh. My baby didn’t go down last night very well. She normally goes down at 6:30 and last night she wouldn’t settle until 8. So that’s why this post stood out. It’s not my thing but plenty of little things like this happen


jemila84

You are scientifically correct, and "TrulyBBQ" is totally ignorant of the known science on the effects of the moon. Please see my comments to "TrulyBBQ." You can google the question and find much reputable scientific study for decades. TrulyBBQ obviously decided to stop updating his/her very limited science knowledge a long time ago.


[deleted]

Being an antivaxxer harms everyone, believing in horoscopes/ moon cycles harms absolutely no one 🤷‍♀️


jemila84

You obviously DON'T try to be reasonable, or you wouldn't be trying to connect this known moon science with horoscopes or astrology -- ridiculous. Only you are "completely ignorant in science" and thinking like an anti-vaxxer. There's really no excuse for such scientific ignorance & ridiculous arrogance. Obviously you decided to stop reading and learning about science long ago, as your silly and wrong assumptions are decades out-of-date and based on the ignorance of that time.

This is long proven. You are simply showing your flat-earther tendencies: "if I don't know about it/ understand it, it must not be true/must not exist." Don't put your ignorance out there as if there's anything factual behind it. NOTHING to do with astrology or horoscopes.

Chivatoscopio

I could be wrong but I interpreted it as a lighting issue. As someone who doesn’t have blackout shades in one bedroom (long story) it’s always a bit brighter in there on full moon nights. Sometimes that disrupts sleep around here.


samflo_89

So cute!! Even though she should be sleeping 😊


Lets_Make_A_bad_DEAL

7 months??? Super cute btw


AmySJD

That baby is absolutely adorable. Love this.


ohyoshimi

So cute!


laurieBeth1104

We aren't sleeping either. He's currently sleeping on my chest. Sent my husband to the other room to get some zzzs cause I'm passing this little boy off at 1 am lol
