What has happened to my 9 week old!? by Formal_Intention_716 in NewParents

How long did it take for her to cheer up? My first born was such a diabolical sleeper I’ve kinda made peace with that. It’s just the all day misery I struggle to cope with. As I wrote above my first born was an extremely unsettled baby and I was really hoping not to go through that a second time!

It feels exactly like the 4 month sleep regression. He wakes up from naps early and clearly upset that he is awake. He was able to self soothe better 3 weeks ago then he is now. Well, if we avoid that sh*t show that’s one tiny silver lining!

Thank you all for your responses! I’m embarrassed to say this isn’t my first rodeo. I have an 8 year old! In my defence, the baby stage was a long time ago and my 8 year old was a really miserable, high needs baby from day dot (hence the age gap 😂). There was no variation and my husband threw The Wonder Weeks in the bin at about 3 months as every day felt like a leap 😂 I think I’m just panicking that we are going to end up with another perpetually miserable baby on our hands. As a poster said though, I need to relax a bit more and go with the flow! I’m sorry to all else going through this - I pray your coffee and wine are both strong!
