am i the only one who doesn’t like the newborn phase?

Question

my son is 2 months and i want him to just be like 6 months already, chunky, starting to sit up, giggle, be able to grab things and like just overall be more active and alert. 
like i love my son i’ve loved him being so small and he’s truly a good baby but i’m just ready for the next stage.

Answer

I’ll take newborn stage over a toddler any day. Toddlers talk back, don’t listen, throw temper tantrums over nothing, etc etc. newborn stage is by far easier.

Answer

I absolutely hate the newborn stage. It’s the worst.

Give me a sassy toddler any day. At least they can tell you what’s wrong and do some things for themselves.

Answer

Me most days with my newborn vs me with my toddler:

Love them both! (Help me) :)

Answer

Oh my haha ill take all of the newborns over toddlers 😅 i hated the 6-12 month stage.

Answer

Honestly, the entire first year felt like newborn stage for us. It was HARD. We want another baby but have legitimate PTSD (diagnosed) from everything with our first and it’s making us wait. We love him and wouldn’t trade any of it, but that doesn’t mean we have to love all the experiences ❤️

Answer

I like the newborn stage but yeah it’s definitely not my fave. I prefer like 4 months when you have giggles starting often and you can start doing stuff.

Answer

I felt the same way with my daughter! I hated to think it but newborns are boring! Somehow the manage to sleep ALL the time yet never let you sleep. My daughter is now a year old sleeping through the night, running around the house like a madwomen during the day and now suddenly I miss the newborn stage! Its hard sometimes but try to enjoy every stage as much as you can because every stage has its ups and downs and in the blink of an eye they're on to the next one!

Answer

I miss the newborn stage with my son. 🥺 he was a good baby. My daughter on the other hand cried so much as a new born. The 6-12 months was my favorite with her.

Answer

I love newborn stage. Our daughter is 4 mo and rapidly approaching the stage I don’t like, which is about 6-18mo. Although our son is 2.5 and that’s tough some days, especially since he stopped sleeping through the night recently.

Answer

Hated it. I thought I was going to drop her, constant worry, no sleep. Her soft spot freaked me out. Once she could hold her head up I felt much more comfortable 😂

am i the only one who doesn’t like the newborn phase?
