Nope nope nopity nope. Nope nope nope. Not even a little.
Ok if I could go back in time for one hour, I would savor holding my babies so much more than I did at the time. But I don't miss the newborn stage overall.
-
Eff to the no.
-
Well I've got a 3 week old, so...no
. But it was nostalgia over the newborn phase that convinced us to TTC again, which resulted in DD.
-
Nope! I love parts of it but not the screaming most of the night bit. Which is a pretty big bit. I like the part where they are interactive and smile at you but also still cuddle and like being held. And preferably sleep through the night.
-
A little bit. Dubs was /such/ an easy baby, though, never woke up more than twice a night. I wouldn't go back, they just get more and more fun, but I miss when they were teeny tiny and I could watch tv with him asleep on my chest all day.
-
Yes. Absolutely. But I don't think that's normal. I had a dream newborn. She was down to one or two wake ups a night by a week old, and sleeping through the night by 7 weeks. She barely cried, was so happy and sweet, nursed great, and was super easygoing.
She also turned into a needy infant who wanted to be held constantly, so I don't miss months 4-7.
-
I'm living it now. I'm getting better snuggles this time around, otherwise I'm looking forward to when she can hold up her own head and even sit up.
-
After my first no. But after getting the hang of it I really enjoyed my second and am now tying to enjoy my third.
-
I don't miss it too much. I had a terribly difficult transition into motherhood and honestly my son seemed to hate being a newborn! He's so much happier and more engaged as an 8 month old.
-
Yes and my baby is only 4 months old
He's been such an easy baby. Rarely did more than 2-3 wake ups at night, took a couple 2-3 hr naps a day, rarely cried and we had no weight again or breastfeeding issues.
-
Yes. I really love having newborns.
We've lucked out three times with babies that sleep a ton and only fuss when they're hungry. We've never had the cry all night/colicky babies. -
I miss it desperately. DD was a relatively easy newborn and DH and I really really enjoyed the first few months.
-
No. DD was such a hard newborn, so my transition into motherhood was really difficult. I'm hoping next time around our babe is a little easier.
-
Yes, both of mine were relatively easy newborns. I love the newborn stage so much and I'm hoping to soak it all in with #3 since it will be our last.
-
Yessssssss. I love the newborn stage. Yeah I was tired, but the cuddles and smell and bonding was unlike anything.
I'm so excited to do it again so soon -
Hell no. I want another kid despite having to deal with newborn days. If I could hatch a toddler, I'd do it.
-
No,no,no. I'm so traumatized by the newborn days I will forever be one and done.
-
Noooooo! And we'll be doing it again this winter. Hoping it'll be easier this time since I won't have to learn how to nurse!
-
I remember those days as being sooooo hard while i was in it. But now that I have a 17 month old I something wonder how I could think that was so hard when all they did was sleep and eat and didn't run around throwing fits. Its the exhaustion I don't miss at all.
-
Yes I loved the newborn days. I was blessed with two easy laid back babies so apart from sleep deprivation (which thankfully I didn't get too bad) the newborn stages for both kids was definitely one of my favorite.
-
Yes I miss those days and DS is only 10 months old. It was so easy and cozy-so many snuggles. I loved it
-
My first thought was also nope nope nopity nope! But I do miss the snuggles and the sweet baby sleeping on me.
-
Nope, nope, nope! DS was an extremely easy baby, but I just never liked to newborn stage. I love the toddler and preschool age so much more!!
-
Yes. She was so precious. Now she pulls my hair and clings to my legs. But someday I'll miss having a toddler, Le sigh.
-
Yes. Newborns are the best.
-
No. DD was a tough newborn and I hated maternity leave. Hoping that LO2 is easier when he arrives, but realistically I'm bracing myself.
-
Not really, especially knowing I'll have a newborn again in a few months! I see other people's newborn/infants and I'm like hmm, you don't say/do anything?! lol. I'm too used to my toddler! The one thing I do miss tho is being able to put an immobile infant down and they won't go anywhere!
-
Yes, I love, love, LOVED the newborn days! I must have had freak of nature babies as they all slept relatively well and were very chilled out babies; we never had the awake all night babies so I never felt particularly tired or stressed. I loved all the snuggles and just how easy it was to do everything with a newborn - it's when they're older that it gets more difficult to get things done or go out and about! I never could understand why people said the newborn days were so difficult as it couldn't have been further from the truth for any of our three.
My youngest is 12 weeks old tomorrow and he has been the easiest of the three. I am so, so sad the newborn days are over and can't completely rule out the idea of having a fourth, even though I dread the thought of being pregnant again. I just love the newborn days so much and wish they lasted longer....
-
Yes. I've loved each stage so far, but there is something special about having a newborn.
-
Nope, haha--even though I'm about to do it all over again! Even though I know it'll be harder with a toddler around, I actually think I'll enjoy it more this time because of the perspective I have (aka it doesn't last forever) and the fact that I won't be able to have such newborn tunnel vision thanks to DD1.
-
Ehhhh yes and no. The constant sleep deprivation, breastfeeding, multiple poop diapers a day- eff no. The hours of cuddle time, the milky smell, and the lack of sassy toddler attitude were THE BEST.
-
Nope. I prefer the toddler stage so much more.
. But it was nostalgia over the newborn phase that convinced us to TTC again, which resulted in DD.
