Does anyone else NOT like the newborn phase?!

Question

I love my kiddos but I just want to zoom ahead to better sleeping, no hurting boobs, and the ability to go out for 30 minutes By👏 My 👏Self 👍💅☕
Maybe hubby still having so much freedom doesn't help my outlook 😒

Answer

How does anyone have time to enjoy it?! You’re sleep deprived, hormones going haywire, in pain 24/7, stressed beyond belief (first time mom here), you have no flipping clue what you’re doing or what’s happening most of the time. 
I’m so glad I’m out of that phase. I absolutely adored his little self but damn everything was so scary.

Answer

I’m cherishing it, tbh. As difficult as it may be hovering around my 1 week old, I know when she gets older I’m going to miss it. When she’s 14, I’m going to miss holding her in my arms rocking her to sleep. When I watch her graduate, I’m going to miss giving her soft little kisses as she drinks from a bottle at 3am. I can watch my newborn sleep for hours, it seems like. Just thinking how I made this tiny little human and how much I had to endure during my pregnancy to make it happen. So, yeah. I love it. 💕 Sleep and time for yourself will always be around, but the newborn phase is temporary.

Answer

I hated it. It’s what made me decide not to have any more kids.

Answer

So I loved the cuddles BUT hated the lack of sleep, the colicky phase, the cracked nipples, not even being able to go out for 5 mins because I didn’t know when my daughter would want to eat, etc. It was super hard but it was so much easier when they couldn’t move lol

Answer

It's the 2 year old phase I could miss!

Answer

It sucks, I love my 2 year old so much fun!!!! The only reason I haven't had a second is because I'm not excited to forfeit sleeping and having to nurse again.

Answer

I love it but I don't love all the attention my floppy necked, weak immune system, sleepy, tiny 3 week old attracts. Everyone wanting to touch!!! 
I'm looking forward most to when she's sturdier, more of her clothes and diapers fit her, and I can share bites of food with her. Can't wait to give her her first bite of ice cream and pass on mommy's addiction lol 😝

Answer

I hated it when i was in it. But now i have a crazy 16 month old and im craving that little baby just snuggling, and sleeping, and eating. Heck i missed it at like 9 months. 17 weeks pregnant again and so pumped for the newborn stage, im hoping ill learn to cherish it when im in it this time

Answer

I’m so ready for it to be over! Me and my husband are people that hate to be home. We like going places and doing that with a newborn isn’t fun. Plus she can’t enjoy anything. We’re so excited for when we can take her to the zoo, parks, and theme parks and see her having fun.

Answer

I haaaate the newborn stage. As soon as they start crawling is when I start enjoying it. I’m pregnant with my third and people ask why I keep going back if I hate it so much, but the newborn stage is the shortest so 🤷🏻‍♀️
