How to communicate with your baby?

From the moment your baby is born, they are aware of the world around them. Here are some tips on how to interact with your baby.

  • Use quiet, calm places without distractions to try to communicate with your baby.
  • Put your child in a position where they seem comfortable and can see you easily.
  • Speak in a soft voice, look kindly at them, and use touch to make them feel calm and secure.
  • Be patient. Newborns usually need at least 10-15 minutes to focus and make contact, but it's great to get a reaction!

I truly wish docs did a better job communicating with their patients! Early in pregnancy I was so worried bc I hadn’t felt any kicking & this is my 3rd pregnancy. Well here I am 28 weeks almost at the end and I am just now finding out I have an anterior placenta. Which is not a huge deal but finding out earlier would have saved a lot of stress and worry. What’s even worse is the only reason I found out, is bc I happened to read my notes to my ultrasound today. They prob would have never mentioned it! But here is my little boy today, with a toe over what would be his right eye 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️ he is growing great, they said he is 2 lbs & 13 oz and is measuring a week ahead.

That's how I found out about me having an anterior placenta as well. I read it in my anatomy scan notes and my Dr still hasn't said anything about it to me I guess since my placenta wasn't laying low she didn't feel like I should be told and sense I can feel baby boy at least a little. Congrats on having a healthy boy. I myself am having a boy at 22w he was 1lb 10oz so I go back for hopefully my last specialist appointment on the 29th and I have my next prenatal appointment on the 24th and they might give me ultrasound but I will most definitely be getting one on the 29th.

I just wish they knew how important communication was. For me, it helps me trust my doc more when I see how much they want to go out of their way to tell me things. I hope everything goes well at your next appt! 💜

Y’all okay so I texted my baby daddy yesterday after I got home from my doctor appointment to update him on my daughter, I’m due next month and he has yet to buy anything for her I had him blocked cause what’s the purpose of even communicating with him when my baby finna be born soon and I still haven’t met any of this man family or nun. His response to my is in the comments below ..⬇️ it’s him lying still saying he gone get her some things he think she need when I already done got everything for my baby she do in 50 days or less he’s out of fucking luck usually I would go off on him but I’ve distance myself and all I crave is peace at this point. He also Ghosted me when I was 6 months lying saying oh he gone do this and playing mind games we barley have communication since sept and I’ve been on no contact from him after I sent my response I just blocked him But I want to know should I just keep him blocked ? I think I should I’m just over him and his mom ( who I never met who doesn’t make a effort either ) it’s just too much I don’t want to invite him to the hospital or anything and the crazy part is he begged me to have a baby with him lol it’s so sick

I started reading Doctor Seuss books to my baby boy. My mom and sister always tell me I should start communicating and talking to him. So I figured what better way than some books 💙. Gonna see if daddy wants to start reading to him too, now that I’m 6 months along it’s all starting to really set in. I’ll be a mommy for the first time very soon 💙👩🏾‍🍼

Have some of the first-time mothers out there experienced social issues after finding out you’re pregnant? Since I found out, I feel that a majority of my “friends” have stopped communicating with me because I can’t go out and drink and party now. I have already had one “friend” tell me my pregnancy is a mistake. I’m not sure if what I’m feeling is true, or if it’s just how I FEEL about the whole thing. Any thoughts?

No not at all. Babies do what they want, me and my baby was never able to bond because I had an anterior placenta so I hardly ever seen movements

Yes. If I'm asleep and I wake up, as soon as he feels me move, he starts kicking. As soon as he feels my touch or hears my voice, he responds. Maybe your baby is just a heavy sleeper 😂

So update to my situation with my ex/friend I know you ladies said cut my losses and I do but lately and when I say lately I mean the last couple of days we’ve been communicating pretty regularly nothing but on a friendly level besides the fact my mother still calls him her son in law don’t ask I’m tired of trying to explain things to her but he texted me Saturday at church in the morning which I saw the text but I ignored it because I knew what I would lead to with us so as days continue we still texting each then on last night he texted me saying that he was frustrated I told him I pray it gets better I have faith it will so today I texted him just to check on him and he tells me that the first baby mama has had the baby today I said congratulations but part of my heart dropped but then I stopped and told myself that you l got to let that hurt go so me being me I saw on his Facebook page both baby showers that was literally a week apart and he seemed happy at both well then he texts me and asks am I at work I say yes and then says I need a huge favor I politely asked what the favor was he asked me if I could go let Zara which is my fur baby but it’s his dog out when I get off and told me where the key was…my question is what do you think I should say in response?

Any momma having trouble communicating with baby daddy? My baby daddy hasn’t been very supportive he left me to do this alone. But when I email him just to tell him bout our son he doesn’t reply like he doesn’t care anymore.

Yes, because they can't really feel what you're going through. The only way for them to know is if you talk to them. Pregnancy can get challenging after a while, and you might really need the support.
