Why do they think its ok to wake her?!

[divadexie]

I really HATE it!!!!!

WHY on earth do some people think its acceptable to wake my sleeping baby??

MIL does it but now instead of poking/touching LO she will talk to her and take dummy out

Then a friend of theres came into the shop while I was waiting on OH and was trying to wake her up. I said 'please dont wake her up me and Lewis have to get lunch and I fed her before I left so she'd sleep and let me have time'

I got ''babies will wake when they wake up they dont stick to a timetable!''

And if LO openes her eyes for a second, which she often does, MIL assumes she is awake so its ok to poke her!!


I can't just not go in, I have to walk by the shop to get home after getting son from school and go in to get OH for lunch, I have another week of this before I can just get son and go home cos OH will have already been home for lunch.


Next time I am just going to say Dont wake her up it makes her grumpy but I bet they dont listen anyway.

How horrible! I'd MAKE them listen to you. Say they can't be around the baby if they are going to be so disrespectful. Even raise my voice, swear, do whatever I have to do to get it through their heads. Some people are just that stupid. Babies need sleep. I know if someone woke mine up, well, there would be HELL to pay. lol.

I think people just get too caught up in how adorable and beautiful babies are... You just want to pick them up and cuddle them, it's only natural. I've had to be firm with my own mother and that was awkward! Never thought I'd have to tell off my mom. She went to go pick up LO when she was sleeping and she knows LO wakes up when she is picked up. I was like, "Woah there. That isn't happening until she wakes up." Tough cookies if she got offened. It is my baby and I set the rules.

Waking a sleeping baby is always a no no.

Defo say something it's your baby not hers / theirs. Your baby - your rules, do it now or else she'll be taking advantage with everything she can in the future! I'd just carry on walking or avoid having to go there completely for a while, and if she asks why you haven't been going in tell her straight. Might make her change her ways

 

[JASMAK]

yes! Totally hate this. Yesterday it took me FIVE looooooong hours to get Kelana to sleep so I could have some food and feed my other two kids, and then people came over and woke her up. I know it's hard to resist a sleeping baby, but seriously...it's OUR baby, right? Today, I tried a new trick (which worked). Kelana spits up alot, but this morning, she threw up (projectile) after the kids had a little cuddle. So, when my sister came to visit, I told them not to pick her up and she has been projectile vomitting all day. They pretty much left her alone. LOL!

How irritating and of course, once other people have looked at the cute baby, and then the baby gets cranky from being woken up and overtired, WE are the ones that have to deal with it !!!

I remember FIL coming over for a while and wanted to continually play with little one even when I was trying to wind him down for the evening. I do realize he wanted to be involved with him but there is a reason why we do things a certain way. In any event, he ended up leaving a little while later and it took us a long while to get little one settled and to sleep since he was so wound up.

My MIL does this too. My OH's whole family does it. It drives me insane. I tell them that i just got her to sleep, and they say "well its not hard to get her back to sleep, so its fine". UM EXCUSE ME. It is hard to get her to sleep these days, because she wont sleep anywhere but in my arms. They think im being rude, but waking up my LO is rude.

My mom does this also. I tell her that the baby is tired, and she says that he wants to play. I am the one that end up with a overtired baby at the end of the day!

The other day my mom came to my room to ask me something. I asked her to lower her voice, as I was trying to get my baby to sleep. Then she said (loudly) "Oh, he is not asleep! Let me see him! Oh baby, why haven't you slept yet!!????". I had to kick my mom out of the room!

Tell me about it! I once told my mum to leave my lo alone as she didn't want picking up, she didn't like being told, so I said shes my baby so I say what goes, mum turns around and says that lo is her baby when shes round there...WTF! I was absolutely fuming and said she had better have been joking! Bloody mothers and mil's!
