My baby is 14 weeks old and during the last two weeks I’ve been struggling with putting him down for day naps so I try to put him down and if he constantly stirs I’ll hold him while he sleeps so he can get plenty of sleep. It doesn’t always happen but I’d rather have a well rested baby than a grumpy one. My partner only witnesses this on weekends and doesn’t understand why I’m doing the things I do. He has made comments to people about how he’s terrible at sleeping during the day and it’s because he’s so used to being held by me. Which makes me feel embarrassed and judged by the way I care for my baby.

There are several days where he will sleep in his bed though, I don’t enjoy having to hold him constantly as it’s becoming exhausting but I do it because that’s what he needs. He’s also going through a leap so he’s been fussier than usual and I just feel like my partner is kind of blaming me.

I guess this is just a rant. I’m tired of trying to tell him how babies work and what their needs are.
