New parenthood means living on very little sleep, and it’s harder for some parents than others.

Some babies are pretty good about sleeping through the night from a very young age, but no matter what, the youngest babies wake up hungry at least once at night.

In today’s story, one new mom was enjoying a sweet moment with her baby in the middle of the night.

Her daughter had just fallen asleep in her arms, and she decided to watch TV for a few minutes while holding her.

Then her husband completely freaked out.

Read the whole story to find out why he was so upset and why she is now mad at him.

AITAH for telling my husband he isn’t allowed to come to our baby’s appointments anymore after he told the doctor something untrue?

Let me start by saying that I sort of feel like the jerk here and I want to know what other people who don’t know us think.

For context our baby girl is only 3 months.

I will also be the first to admit that I’m very new at being a mom, and have never ever claimed to be perfect.

I was incredibly scared while I was pregnant, and while my daughter herself is way easier than I expected, I have lots of anxiety, which I’ve been told is very normal.

I am 21, a brand new mom, and also recently married.

It started out as a typical night for this new mom.

So anyway, several nights ago our baby was crying at around midnight.

Recently she’s been doing good with sleep, one late night feed and then she sleeps until like 6-7 which is great.

I picked her up, and was holding her while sitting up in bed.

This sounds like a really sweet and peaceful moment.

My husband woke up too and looked at us for about two seconds before he went back to sleep, which is fine.

I fed her and she fell asleep.

Our TV was still on in the bedroom and I was watching it, with the baby asleep on my chest.

I didn’t want to move her and honestly I just wanted to enjoy that little second of my baby, silence, and the TV.

The sweet moment ended quite abruptly.

Ten minutes later my husband woke up SCREAMING.

He woke the baby up by immediately snapping in my face and accusing me of having been asleep with her still on me.

I of course said that I wasn’t but he was adamant I was.

He refused to believe that she was awake.

It took about half an hour to calm her back down and then an hour more of his accusations that I was sleeping.

I kept saying I literally wasn’t I was watching TV. And I 10000% was.

He claims he saw my eyes shut.

He lied to the pediatrician.

At the next well baby visit my husband decides to tell the pediatrician that I co-sleep with our baby.

(I know that some people can do that safely but we’ve opted not to and the doctor says it’s unsafe to do).

I was so mad.

Eventually my husband backed it down to just co sleeping “sometimes” but that’s still not true.

I don’t even co sleep at all!!!!!

He claims he saw me ONCE which isn’t even true!!!

She felt judged by the doctor.

Needless to say I got a lecture from the doctor and some dirty and judgmental looks.

I felt awful, and like an awful mom.

As soon as we got home and my husband asked me what was wrong I told him it was him.

I also told him he would no longer be allowed to come to the visits.

My husband got so mad at me for suggesting that I could stop him from coming to her appointments.

Looking back, yes, I understand that I can’t do that.

But I cannot believe he would do this. AITAH?

She can definitely tell her husband not to go to the doctor’s appointments.

He’s the jerk in this story for waking up the baby, accusing her of something she wasn’t doing, refusing to believe her, and then proceeding to tell the pediatrician.

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.

She needs to make sure the doctor knows the truth.

If he’s so concerned, he can get up with the baby at night.

Falling asleep while holding a baby is not the same as cosleeping.

Screaming in her face was the wrong reaction.

Her husband really handled this whole situation poorly.

Her husband needs to help out at night or stay out of it.

This relationship is not going to end well.
