!!Good advice :It’s very easy to get sucked into the constant advertising of baby powders, creams, and lotions. But the best baby lotion is plain old olive oil—cheap, natural, and un-perfumed. As for other products, keep it as natural, organic, and fragrance-free as possible.
Question–: Unmarried parents… Infant visitation schedule…?
I have an 11 week old son and his Dad rarely saw him until 3 weeks ago. We have begun doing visitation gradual. He had 4 hours twice a week the first 2 weeks and now has moved to 6 hours twice a week. That is where I plan for it to stay until we get to court or agree to a parenting plan in mediation, etc. My son is breastfed, but I am pumping for Dad so he can feed him during his time. That being said…I can’t pump a lot so Dad having more time would be a challenge as the baby is allergic to milk and soy. Anyway…I am off track…
We do not agree on custody/visitation. He wants 50% as of now…and we will be going to court within the next 6 months. I want a graduated plan that is appropriate for our distance between homes (an hour) and the baby’s age. Dad does not follow his schedule, doesn’t feed him right and basically has the “I’ll do what I want” attitude so it makes his days with Dad hard…I am terrified what would happen if he had more than 6 hours.
What do you think of this schedule – 6 hours twice a week? For anyone who has been through a custody issue with an infant…what did you give Dad before court and what did the judge order after you got to court?
Thank you…I know a lot of what I have is probably Mommy anxiety…but I was curious!
