She needed that! Congrats on the baby
congrats on your new baby! she looks worn OUT, i remember that first sleep with the baby when we got home🥰 they are settling in, 💜❤️ such a beautiful moment. sending u guys some good vibes ✨
It’s a rough first six months adjusting but it’s fun to have a little goober to snuggle with. Enjoy this time they stop wanting to sleep on you very quickly.
wooo go mama! ♥️♥️❤️❤️♥️♥️
This triggered so many memories in me I can’t begin to articulate any of them. Congratulations this brought me joy.
Oh buddy, get ready. Clean, cook, pull baby night shift, help with breastfeeding/ pumping if that’s baby’s thing, change every diaper you catch, cover laundry and folding, you both got this. I recommend downloading a particular white noise track that always helped out my kid to sleep called “baby got colic”. My wife is a labor and lactation nurse, I catch a lot of best practices from her. Put in the work now to support both of them.
Good job guys
To say the least, she’s earned a good nap in a comfortable familiar surrounding. That’s a gorgeous little one, take lots and lots of pictures and back them up twice. You can never capture enough moments and the absolute best feeling is to go back through those old pics and marvel at how far they’ve come. Congratulations!
Gorgeous momma, such a beautiful little baby.
This is really a beautiful photo to keep..❤
Love this pic! Congrats
Congrats! Just brought my first home last week. The adjustments rough, but the little ones are worth it. Remember to take care of your wife, pregnancy, delivery, then the super aggressive newborn feeding schedule takes a toll.
She easily wins the prettiest wife picture contest in my book.
Please don’t lay the baby like this and fall asleep. I know of someone whose kid got SIDS from that. See this link:
[https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/sleepnewborn.html#:~:text=Always%20place%20your%20baby%20on,Use%20a%20firm%20sleep%20surface](https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/sleepnewborn.html#:~:text=Always%20place%20your%20baby%20on,Use%20a%20firm%20sleep%20surface).
“Always place your baby on his or her back to sleep, not on the stomach or side. The rate of SIDS has gone way down since the AAP introduced this recommendation in 1992.”
Congratulations on your new baby! Just a point, it’s really hard with the exhaustion but babies should be put to sleep on their backs in their own cots to reduce the risk of cot death. https://www.lullabytrust.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/fact-sheet-back-to-sleep.pdf
Accidental Renaissance.
Also don’t ever ever never ever fall asleep/sleep with the baby. Or let them sleep with stuff on their bed. It is understandable, and most people do it. But….It is super dangerous. The exhaustion is too much. I know. But…I just had to say it.
Beautiful
Advice to new moms: sleep when the baby sleeps.
Don’t let them sleep like this, as cute as it may seem it’s very dangerous for the baby (re-breathing co2 and possible suffocation if your wife were to turn)
Congratz, your world is about to be turn upside down 🙂
Please don’t let mom/dad ever fall asleep with the baby like this. I still remember having our first, and as soon as we got to our room after birth, nurse pointed this out to us, and said they had a case when mother fell asleep and turned while dropping the baby on floor, baby didn’t survive.
Whether it was true or not it scared the bejesus out of us, and we made sure to not sleep like this.
No sleepy with da baby!
That’s how dead babies are made.
For everyone pointing out that the baby shouldn’t be asleep like that just in case… Is it not clear that the father is 2 feet away, likely keeping an eye on his wife and newborn child who just got home from the hospital?
Y’all need to relax.
So precious. Congrats to the both of you. Be well.
You can’t get any more real. Fun/beautiful moment
So sweet
This is a beautiful moment. Your wife will need lots of support the next several weeks and months. Remind her how well she’s doing routinely.
I love those little footie pajamas for babies. They always look so snug and cozy.
Isn’t it amazing how that is the position that every mom and baby fall into by default?!
Just be careful sleeping like this please. As a new parent I understand the desire to do so but SIDS is very real and important to understand.
I can relate when I had my first but with my 2nd child I was a lot more responsible and respectful with best practices and knowledge.
Thank you everyone for your concern. She dozed off long enough for me to take a picture then he was put in his bassinet.
Congrats!!!!! Our baby is due tomorrow (but he has been taking his sweet ass time), and I fully expect this to be me when we get home
Don’t fucking co-sleep!
Did she say it was fine to post this? giving birth and being a new mom is an incredibly vulnerable and hard time for a woman. You lose agency, privacy, confidence, etc. Things like this contribute to it. God I would hate waking up to a picture of me during this time plastered on the internet for points.
🙂
That is the worst way she could be sleeping with that baby, she should know better
Beautiful! Don’t wake her, if she is like most moms, she will feel like she should be up doing something (cooking, cleaning, laundry) when she really needs to be looking after herself so she can look after the new precious bundle.
Congratulations!!
Be prepared for you both to be in this same perpetual state of zombification. At least 2 weeks of sleeping for 2 hours at a time
As the parent of a 4 month old this is giving me extreme anxiety. I’m sure you are checking on them regularly but keep that nose free and clear!! Breathing into a pocket of fabric or skin is deadly and quick.
In the first 6 months, mommy sleeps when that baby sleeps. Let everything else go. Let someone else put on the gloves and take care of groceries, laundry, vacuuming. get your sleep where you can get it now.
I imagine every parent has done this. Of course there is a chance of something terrible happening but there are millions of things that could go wrong in life..
I did this with my kids daily.
Falling asleep on couch with newborn. Hmmm… SIDS and unsafe sleep sleep surfaces + a very real potential. Please educate yourself.
