1) eyes open and rolling around in her sleep. so i looked that up cuz its freaky af. it’s just her REM sleeping.
2) her making grunting sounds in her sleep often. apparently she does that when she’s also dreaming or is trying to poop in her sleep.
3) hiccups multiple times a day. i can’t figure it out even with google because i don’t get why it happens so often but apparently it’s safe and nothing bad. she’s done this since the womb so maybe it’s how she’s swallowing idk.
4) hard to get her to burp. i tried various methods to get her to burp and she doesn’t every time but apparently that’s okay. i still try half way in between feeding and then after.
also according to like everyone and everything i’ve been reading, the baby lounger we got her is not safe and should not be used long or in her bassinet. she sleeps so much better with it but they say it’s a suffocation hazard if she rolls over into the sides but she doesn’t roll over in it. she stays on her back in it but off the lounger she rolls to her side. the lounger keeps her in her back. she hates the bassinet otherwise cuz she can’t feel sturdy. she rolls around on it. the mattress in it sucks so she doesn’t feel good in it. which is why i put the lounger in it. the big tags on the bassinet say don’t add extra stuff to it but she sleeps so much better. so im not sure what to do. i feel like a bad mom if i ignore the stuff i read about risks and hazards but at the same time i feel she’s fine. if i really didn’t think so i wouldn’t put her in it like that. so i think since im such a light sleeper, i wake up constantly to check her and i wake up every 2-3 hours to feed her anyways ill continue to let her use it anywhere. if i were not in the room and i left her to sleep for hours i wouldn’t leave her unattended in it. if i see she’s showing signs of rolling around in it, ill remove it, but for now it stays.
another things that’s a big no that i do is i give her small blankets to be warm. i wrap her in it but keep her arms out so if she ever did roll over she would be able to get up and out. i’m coming to realize everyone is different and do different things with their babies. some things are not okay to others and some are but you do what you think and feel is right for your baby and situation. i never leave her unattended for long periods of time. hardly even short periods but if i have to run to kitchen to grab bottle then she’s safely placed.
it’s hard being a new mom cuz everything worries you and you don’t know what’s really right or wrong
