My daughter had a fourth mood in addition to the three mentioned... once she could open her eyes which was "staring at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling of the NICU in abject fascination."

That does help, thanks guys. I'm still pretty sure our first had a "wiggling around awake enjoying life" mood too but that whole time period was a blur so who knows

The human brain makes this whole post-partum block of time very hazy. It is on purpose to ensure we do it again. Very mean thing for a brain to do.

Also hit a boy-dad milestone by getting peed on for the first time, luckily just my hand I was holding his feet to wipe his butt, and he was melting down like he does every diaper change, and suddenly he got quiet and I was like "oh good, maybe he's getting used to it," and with utterly perfect comedic timing, SPLASH

My second has some of that, so we move his legs like he's on a bicycle and turn his hips back n forth to help him toot and it usually helps him settle a bit. You could also try gripewater with a feeding time to see if that helps.

Yeah to be clear the meltdowns are happening during the change, meaning after the poop, suggesting that he just hates being changed, and to be fair I probably would too, it's quite an indignity

Don't use a wipe, use a little towel, I forget if we got them from anywhere in particular, but you want something to absorb the liquid while you're going about the change.

So I’m on paternity leave and it’s pretty wild how weird it is for guys to do infant care out in the wild, even in the Bay Area. If I show up to any storytime or infant group stuff I’m always the only guy and if I go with another mom we universally get asked if our kids are twins. Also, if my kid starts crying for whatever reason like 4 moms swoop at me to help handle it, which, okay that’s nice but I got it ladies.

Another update: we finally got around to setting up the baby swing and it appears to do a great job of suppressing his inner rage while keeping him awake. Different strokes for different babies etc etc

(Then when the 5 year old was like 2, he decided the being changed on the changing place in reasonable height for parents was the scariest thing ever, so we had to change on the floor from then. That was really annoying).

It took a week for our girl to stop screaming like a banshee all day every day because my wife's milk supply hadn't established. She lost 10% of her birth weight that week. Now she's in the 80th percentile for weight and rarely cries unless she has lost patience because we haven't responded to her cues for something.

loquacius posted:Guys is it normal for a newborn to be completely miserable at all times he's not feeding Yes, eating solves like 90% of newborn baby problems. So if eating is a problem, it is all consuming problem. My wife was very prideful about her boobs, so we didn't introduce formula to first son until like day 7-8 and it was bad bad bad time for everybody until then. . Daughter was allowed to eat formula day one. Wife also produces more milk this time, so some of the early days the infant didn't need to be supplemented with formula. Very good days for everybody.

my kid played it all afternoon yesterday but I was sick in bed and couldn't join him. so today I started my game but he's still ahead of me so basically any time I did anything he would tell me why it was wrong or what would happen next. this is empirically the absolute worst way to play TOTK.

Crossing my fingers but despite my initial anxieties about him being mad all the time, so far he is a pretty easy baby. Sleeps well, eats well, now manages to be awake and not screaming for at least some of the day, even when he's awake and should be asleep he just chills on my lap and lets me play Steam Deck

My son has been performing poop crimes. He did two in the span of this night. In between taking out the melaria-tent anti-climb canopy out to the balcony to air out. After the second poop crime, there was a lot of washing. I checked on my sleeping infant, no poop crime, she tells us when she poops with a yell. I whispered to my daughter that she is now my favorite child. No contest.

my son is such a nice and sweet boy, i had a very sick cat over the weekend (he's fine now) and my son kept trying to pet him and say "it's okay it's okay i'm here kitty" - "it's okay i'm here" is usually something i say when i try to comfort him. he says the same thing to his sister when she starts crying. i love him. if only he would sleep...

The answer to the question "why is this baby so angry" has been found btw: my son is simply the hungriest child on earth. He went to his one-week weight check today and at seven days of age he is already 3 oz over his birth weight. I'm ecstatic about this considering how hard it is to get his sister to eat dinner

In the Something Awful Forums, fecal based offenses are centered around the anus. In the Parenting Thread, the dedicated posters who investigate these vicious poopys are members of an elite squad known as the Special Changing Unit. There are their stories.
