Frustrated!?

Hubby doesnt research or read anything about pregnancy/childbirth/childraising and insist on advice given by friends only… feeling frustrated. (Spends all free time playing pc games)

Perhaps he felt that experiences from friends are more reliable since it’s happening to people he knows and trust? Give him time, and maybe you want to sit him down have a heart to heart talk about this issue and tell him your concerns? Sometimes husbands just really need to be told directly, otherwise they’re ignorant about some stuffs. I believe as parents, first both must be on the same page. Good luck! 😌

Oh yes that ‘let the newborn cry it out and ignore’ , I’ve heard about that. I was dumbfounded when I heard it. I mean to train infants, that’s bit early to me because when they cry, most time they want/need something and are trying to tell us something and that could be hungry? Wet diapers? Worst case scenario, it could even be colic? I wouldn’t wanna let my little one suffer on purpose, I mean I would apply that theory about the attention thing perhaps when I have had a fair amount of time knowing my baby and having the ‘instincts’ whether this crying is legit or it’s just for attention eg. when they’re already toddlers. Having said the above, of course it’s never wrong to listen to experiences and such but to me, it’s entirely up to you and your partner how you wanna do this. Advices you think makes sense, take it in, otherwise just acknowledge and move on. And ya’ll really have to be the same page when it comes to parenting I believe so that it’ll be a pleasant and memorable paren
