remember ladies, we are all different, some need help, sleep, and postpartum hits different. Be the mom you need to be not the one on TV
honestly there's nothing more soothing or relaxing to me than rocking my babies to sleep. you can't get that time back and it goes so so fast.
..
I worked for many years as a research çhemist caring for premature babies. I see no problem with this comfort toy and would recommend it Also, where can I get one for myself? I like the design of it. it looks helpful and comforting. Thank you Please give ordering instructions.💕
They’re taking mommying out of being a mom. That’s the whole rewarding experience of being a mom. Being tired and still pushing forward and feeling a sense of accomplishment in the hurdles you face. How is this rewarding? You will regret that one day. Had a friend that she never gave the baths, that was dad’s job. Nope not me. I wanted to experience it all. I wanted to look back and remember all the challenges that came with motherhood and know that I DID THAT.
I wouldn't put it in the crib with the baby. I'd maybe use that for a floor nap but not in the crib. But I never needed something like that. I had five kids and they're all teenagers/20s now. I never minded those sleepless nights.
I wish I had this helper 55 yrs ago. I was married and became a mom at 18. Her father never did anything, and I didn't have any help or break. I would pat my daughters butt so she could go to sleep. That was the only way she would. So great there are things to help out now a days. It's not an easy job, and back then, there was no empathy/sympathy for moms. You were expected to do it all, all the time. He never changed a diaper, gave her a bottle, bathed, or played with her. I left when I was able, and he never supported her financially or physically. The stories behind the emotions no one knows so when some do things differently or can't handle them, there are probably reasons. Not excuses but reasons.
Lack of sleep can cause psychosis, especially postpartum, with your rapidly changing hormones and sleep deprivation, it's a setup for a very dangerous situation. If someone offers you help, take it! And don't feel like a failure if you need to ask for help, you're not a failure, you need to take that time to sleep!
The hard part came when mom was sick with flu and needed to keep getting up . (daddy was overseas)This huggy thing would have been so helpful for baby and mommy.💕
I had 5 children, now all grown, that were very loved and coddled. I do believe that this is an ingenious creation. Baby is colicky, one has thrush, another needs changed, the older boys are causing havoc.. trying to do dishes, prepare and cook dinner, chase the older ones around the house to get them under control, and dammit, one of the babies just exploded out of their diaper and there's liquid shit everywhere, I'm about to pee allover my damn self, and NOW a knock at the door 😫😫😫 All that being said, and that was just within 15 min, I would have PRAYED for one of these if they had existed back then. I def agree with the thought of people thinking that some would use it as an alternative to actually being a REAL mother. But I'll tell you what. if I had this with its only purpose to assist me in dyer times of need, again I stress, ASSIST me, not become me, I would have been soooooooo unbelievably grateful and my stress level would have been reduced immensely !!
I was very very sick when my youngest was born. I lost 4 pints of blood when he was born, I slept a lot. Thank God my mother was there to help me.
I had bassinet bedside bed kept my hand on baby. I have memories toy won't have
This is so stupid!🙄
girl pleaseeee, give me a break sometime. please I'm exhusted.and i love my son the most💎🐦
it would be great for a mother twins or triplets you could rotate it so they all got mothers love. because there isn't always someone to step in and help
I can see that being a choking hazard. I really enjoyed holding my daughters until they fell asleep.. I didn't get to hold my oldest until she was 9 weeks old. 🌸🫂
An artificial soothing and comforting touch that was designed by man to give mom a break, but in actuality it was created to divide and disconnect the bond between mom and baby... Mom will get use to it soothing the baby for her, and baby will grow familiar with the comforting sensations; both mom and baby will eventually become dependent of artificial nurturing and bonding
my children are in their 30's and for those of you who can't see using that great. But for the mom's like myself who had severe postpartum and a serve collicky baby this would have given my husband and I both some well deserved rest. That's like telling everyone that they should breastfeed, I'm sure some of you wouldn't or couldn't do that either.
where can I get one
kina creepy 🤣🤣🤣
where do I get one
It really is exhausting and I don’t think it’s talked about enough 🤷🏼♀️but like someone else said ,I loved rocking and patting both of mine sometimes took longer than others ..but now that they are older I catch myself missing those exhausting moments so this may be a cool idea for some but I’ll take the alternative 💕
What is this?!? Genius. Just want baby up on a wedge for reflux issues. So many products give them reflux.💕💕
🥹❤️🙏🏽
ok Soo I need to know what this is called so I can buy one. please
good idea ! 👍
I love rocking my 5 babies now my grandchild but this would come in handy sometimes if people didn’t solely rely on it
That is ingenious! Awesome the power of the hands😲😲😲😲😲🤔
Beautiful 💕
When I had my third child years ago the Dr. told me to lay her on her left side with the right leg over the left leg, guess what it still work even for me. Instead of taking a lot of meds, I lay down on my left side andit’s so soothing. Everyone sleeps better on their left side.
👶Awesome🌸💕
I'm a dad with 2 kids 40 and 20. I was no help with the 40 at birth but I was for the 20 and think it's a great idea especially for a single mother
it's so nice they got all these gadgets and things for babies to help out mothers cuz let me tell you they didn't have none of that hell and I'm only 37 technology is growing like crazy but what is the name of that rap toy I need one of those for the ones to come just not from me
This is great for moms that are single and have chronic illnesses. Those days when you can’t lift your own arms 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
she's just spoiled from being held too much. feed burp and lay back down.
where do you get this ?
im and adult..I need this! 😆
🥰🥰
Lazy... have 4. This will end up making your baby colic. They fuss because of gas bubbles that still need to come out. Laying them down with something tapping them doesn't get rid of the gas. It will just settle the gas into a pocket in their intestines. That's colic! Not good!
What is this called and where do you buy two😳
That's prescious 👍💕
PLEASE tell us where you got this!!!! Those women with post partum depression need the help and is a REAL problem.
That’s awesome! Where was this when I had my son!
Welcome to motherhood, lady.
I could use one of those!
I'm more impressed she had kids 33 years apart!! lolololol
yes I know someone
Amen🥰🥰🥰
I have never seen that before !
love ❤️ this ❤️
