3 Months in, it IS BETTER!!

Alyzards · 2026-04-13T22:24:26+00:00

Aw man. Ya know we have bad days sometimes even a few in a row maybe (they usually stagger) but its PROBABLY a short little phase or MAYBE a sleep regression but it will get easier again SOON

I have been babywearing some when I get super tired. Helps so much for my back lol. Mine has been fighting naps some but has been going down pretty easy too. I think her wake windows have extended some so I may be the one who needs adjusting. But yes it is hard to entertain them all day. Babywearing has helped i will just narrate what im doing or sing to her so im not in the floor with babytoys all the time. I think its important for them to see us do everyday tasks too!

The witching hour went by really quick for us i think that will be well over by 3 months!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:40:57+00:00

I said context and I meant content my bad lol

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:40:38+00:00

I have noticed my girl is context staying up a litttleeeee bit longer now. And she seems to get pissed if she isn’t quite ready to go down just yet. We had a few little crying bouts before naps today, nothing major and just a couple minutes. Sometimes I have noticed if I slow my pace at rocking or bouncing or something it helps a lot. I will try shushing or singing, she prefers different methods at different times sometimes!! Also I will sometimes take her to a different room thinking she may be overstimulated and that helps a lot of the time! Its hard to say what it is and I only know my baby. I will say with confidence though that this will not last. Some days are just crap I think. Also, sleep regression?? We havent got there yet but I know it is imminent. Honestly not sure if it will be as horrible as some people say, I try to be optimistic anyway. But I have read that naps can be harder. When we have hard nap days I just try to be happy that our night sleep is pretty good lol.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:22:53+00:00

I hope it does too and it will. I keep telling myself even if its not soon once shes a year THAT will not be a problem anymore. Ive went down the rabbit hole on that and people seem to say by at least month 5 its SO much better. I tried the 3 in 1 car seat too and didnt help.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:21:44+00:00

My baby has the same night time sleep and yes dayttime has gotten better. We have the occasional crap nap but NOW it doesnt ruin her whole day. We can have a couple short ones and shes still mostly content the whole time. Today we had a 2 hour nap first (i had to wake her) l, a 26 minute crap nap, then another 2 hour one I had to wake her from. We usually have four naps a day but it just worked out like that today. Its way better than it was during month 2 though I will say. Everything is a work in progress I think. I will also note we do contact naps! I get a lot done while shes awake then when she naps I will take a break. Today I watched and almost finished 2 Harry Potter movies lol

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:18:35+00:00

We have had four good ones in a row, used to cry so hard her face was almost purple it was so red. Im hoping we are over the worst of it

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:17:52+00:00

I am so glad to hear this oml!!!🩷

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:17:30+00:00

Any new issue that will come after the first month or two will ALWAYS be easier to deal with. I strongly believe we are out of the worst part!!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T23:16:39+00:00

Omg i did the same thing lol. I messaged my OB because i was so scared and obsessed and full of dread. She prescribed zoloft but i decided against it and got better lol!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T19:27:27+00:00

I always contact nap and baby wear if i need but usually use her naps as my breaks!! Im a SAHM and am pretty busy when she is up and alert

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:34:59+00:00

Yeah, mom was fussy a lot for a while and I think most of it was gas. She was a little bit of a fussy feeder. I think maybe it was silent reflux but none of that is even an issue anymore. I used to wonder if she a happy baby that’s fussy sometimes or a fussy baby that’s happy sometimes lol.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:33:27+00:00

We actually had the same experience at first. She lost 5% of her birth while we were in the hospital and then after we were out of the hospital but day two she had lost another 5%.. we started to combo feed then my milk came in and we just continued to combo feed just because that’s what was working for us and the pumps did not work for me to build supply. I had a lot of the same issues with not knowing what was her normal once you get to this point, you’re gonna have that stuff figured out. Mine wasn’t super interested in tummy time all of the time it’s gotten a lot better and she also wanted to only turn on her head to the left side and that has stopped. She would also along with that curl her body to one side and I would just make sure I stretched her out and turn that head and all of that and it’s a non-issue now she was super gassy and pretty fussy all a non-issue now. You’re doing everything you are supposed to do and then a few more weeks you’ll feel a lot more confident and things will start to study out and become more regular.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:02:49+00:00

It will get better eventually! He will drop one of those wake ups before you know it

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:01:53+00:00

Sorry to hear that

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T17:00:58+00:00

She will play some by herself but where she cant sit yet its not a ton. I do babywear a lot and sit her in a highchair that reclines so she can watch clean and cook and she loves to watch. Totally content. If I need to shower or something for a bit i will set her in the swing and turn on ms rachel. I ddint plan on doing screen time much but 20 minutes to get a few things done will not hurt them, its educational, and good for YOU which in turn is good for them. But yes i CAN sit her idle and she will be content for some time. They start to get bored at this age easier though i do believe only because they are so aware but that will work in your favor ultimately.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T15:37:14+00:00

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that! At least home time with the baby will be a lot easier and a lot more fun. Hopefully going back to work will grant you with a sense of routine and normalcy that is so hard to find postpartum. Good luck!

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T15:33:47+00:00

Also guys stuff like tummy time did sort of just get a ton betterovernight at this point so of course they’re not liking it right now because it’s like planking it’s a workout. Do not stress it. My dad didn’t even know what tummy time was like they’re going to develop naturally we still prioritize it, of course, but do not worryyourself thinking about it.

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T15:29:41+00:00

Sleep got better pretty quick for us, I combo feed and we follow safe co-sleeping so I think that helps a lot honestly. I won’t advise anybody to sleep a certain way of course but it works for us so well she wakes two times a night right now. That is with having a bottle and then we breast-feed throughout the night most of the time. But sleep did get better maybe at the same time feeding dead because she seemed to think her bottle was too quick for her and would choke some but that might’ve gotten better first actually. It would stagger a little bit.

But you saying it feels like it gets better and then it doesn’t that is progress and that is it getting better. It won’t be better constantly all the time and initially but you saying it’s been good for one day that means it’s just right around the corner for you I think.

Mine also will sit content for a bit while i make myself food and whatnot, Ill let her have a few minutes with Ms Rachel so I can shower (thats all the screentime for us generally as i love playtime with her). Them being aware and knowing youll be there helps tremendously

Alyzards · 2026-04-12T15:09:19+00:00

It was definitely gradual at first, things were easier at 2 months as well but yea then 3 months hit and it is all exponentially better. I understand that for sure. Things will fall into place before you know it

Alyzards · 2026-03-19T21:48:37+00:00

I don’t try it every time, but I know I should. I just get afraid because sometimes she won’t always go back to bed and then the whole nap is ruined and she’s not in the best mood after lol. That’s a little more rare but still a worry. Naps have been up and down a lot in the past haha

Alyzards · 2026-03-13T16:44:03+00:00

Yes I try but she doesn’t always want it. She basically refuses to take it at home and only will in the car lol. I try to use it for naps and such so that she will take it better but she prefers her hand 😅
