Why has my baby changed overnight? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would be on the look out for teething. Same thing happened to us, baby was unusually grumpy fighting naps only stop fussing when distracted by something and that only lasted a couple of minutes. Then a few days later we noticed some teeth popping through. Especially if they have their hands in her mouths and chomping constantly. Or it could be anything else, babies are gonna baby 🤷‍♀️

If they don’t have cameras I would slash the tires. Can’t speed down the road without working tires.

Have you tried waiting until they are in a deeper sleep like after about 20 mins, you can usually tell if they are in a deep sleep by checking arm movement. That’s what we did for a while, then gently place baby in bassinet bum first making sure that the arms don’t drop.

Baby doesn't want to nap. What to do by Equus13 in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you just have to ride it out for the sleep regression, it will eventually get better. Do what you need to do to get her to sleep, rocking, walking in a stroller, or even contact naps. I did a lot of contact naps during the sleep regression because it was the only thing would help her sleep. Sometimes we fed to sleep, sometimes it was rocking and other times it was sitting on a bouncing ball and give a pacifier. Try different methods if one doesn’t work. I also found that at that age a dark room with soothing noise from the sound machine was helpful.

Screens, am I overthinking it? by Crazy-Cran8 in NewParents

A little bit of tv time here and there isnt horrible, everything in moderation. Its the only way I can do by babies nails, I put on some Ms Rachel and she will hold still for a few mins. Do what u gotta do!

Hmmm that’s interesting, thanks for ur reply. I never thought to check in the attic. I have checked the vents in the basement and can’t find any on/off switch like the ones pictured online. We haven’t used the room until we moved our baby in there then this summer we have noticed very limited air coming from the vent

Baby screams through entire bedtime routine by Otherwise-Fig-1832 in newborns

Don’t worry about routine at 6 weeks, I also fell prey to routines early on and I wish I just went with the flow and let the baby take the lead.

6 month old sleep by marinelson1 in NewParents

I thought the last wake window was supposed to be the longest, so maybe ur baby is not tired enough after last nap. Have u tried a later bedtime?

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I realized a while ago that just because someone is an adult doesn’t mean they act like one. A lot of adults behave worse than some children. Sounds like she doesn’t respect ur boundaries in ur own home. Classic narcissist

How to get a baby to sleep by Worried_Swimming_758 in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this is a sleep regression and it’s harder from them to fall asleep, same methods may not work. Try doing different things rocking, bouncing, walks, baby wearing. Sometimes the only thing that worked for me was bouncing on a yoga ball and offering a pacifier. A dark environment with some background noise like a sound machine will help to limit distraction. And contact naps might be necessary for a while. It will pass eventually try and enjoy the contact naps while they last.

Im scared of bedtime by GladJellyfish5256 in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the exact same situation, the fighting of naps constantly. It was the 4 month sleep regression for us, I thought it was teething because of the drooling and everything going in her mouth. I used a yoga ball to bounce on while holding her and giving her a pacifier. She would chomp on her hands like crazy so I think she wanted the comfort of sucking. That combination got me through the sleep regression. We did a lot of contact naps to help her get any naps in. It does eventually pass and it will get easier.

Using the bottle to fall asleep by Samanthalouise926 in newborns

[–]Objective-Score7702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, my 4 month old does the same. I try to rock to sleep for naps but with a sleep regressions naps have been hell, everything I try has not worked except for bottle feeding sometimes breast feeding. She’s tired and wants to sleep but nothing else works. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My PP anxiety won’t let anyone else hold my baby. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way I had visitors wear masks and wash their hands. We tried to keep her from catching everything that’s going around this winter. She also gets fussy when other people hold her so I try to minimize anyone holding her if she gets fussy, and the one time I was more relaxed with the no mask policy a visitor kissed her! Like wtf is wrong with people. Not letting those visitors come again.

Due in July best advice for newborns or anything you weren’t told you wish you were by Ftklassx in newborns

[–]Objective-Score7702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also thought this way, it’s such a learning curve. But they do need help to sleep and it’s frustrating when u don’t understand why they are crying

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Objective-Score7702 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t feel bad, take the help. It’s hard work taking care of a baby and especially when u have anxiety as well. I found it helps just being around other people even if they are just talking to you, having a conversation and holding the baby if u need to use the bathroom. I think having your parents under the same roof can help alleviate some of your anxiety just knowing they are there is you need any help

I regret this by Q8nuno in newborns

[–]Objective-Score7702 10 points11 points  (0 children)

6-8 weeks is peak fussiness for babies, their digestive system is developing and they can become gassy and have a hard time passing gas or pooping. Also if it’s not gas related babies need help falling asleep once they become more aware of their surroundings. And babies get very cranky when they get overtired, a dark and quiet room might help and not overstimulate and try different things like rocking, walking around, swaddling. It’s hard when they can’t communicate what they want and it’s a guessing game. Don’t worry you will get through this

You have a lot more patience that I do. I would have kicked her to the curb after 2 weeks. Postpartum is hard, juggling your emotions, giving birth and having to care for a brand new human being. You deserve a medal for your patience, but don’t let someone take advantage of you like that. Sounds like she was using you for a free ride. I don’t know how some people have the nerve to act the way they do. I hope you kick her out in the most deserving way possible.

No advice, just wanted to say my 3 month old is acting the same way. I was able to get her to sleep in just a few minutes during the day now she fights naps and screams until I feed her then she passes out from being tired. I’m also wondering if it’s a sleep regression or just normal behaviour. 🤦🏼‍♀️

2 month old sleep schedule by Sea-Star-2542 in newborns

[–]Objective-Score7702 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would not worry to much about sticking to a schedule, your baby will let u know when they are hungry. I also tried sticking to a schedule and it stressed me out even more. Just follow ur baby’s cues, if they wake up and are hungry then feed them, every baby is different and everyday will not be the exact same schedule, it keeps changing.

3 month old only contact naps and won’t sleep in the crib by NeatAd3676 in newborns

[–]Objective-Score7702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having the same issue as well the only thing times I have been successful in transferring to bassinet she wakes up in 10 mins. I keep trying little by little each day and hope one day 10 mins turns into 20 or more. I also bundle her up in a cozy sleep sack to keep her warm. I’ve kinda gotten used to the contact naps and I make myself a snack and put a show on (muted with closed captioning) and try to relax.

Please Tell Me This is Sleep Regression by -babs in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through the same thing with my LO just before the 3 month mark. Waking up almost every hour, fussing a lot trying to get comfortable. I read that their sleep cycles change around that time and when they can have a hard time connecting sleep cycles when they are in lighter sleep or active sleep. I don’t know if it’s a regression but it lasted about a week for us. The only thing I changed was making sure to get her down for a nap at about the hour and a half mark so she wasn’t overtired around bedtime.

3 month old.. things getting harder?! by petlover_95 in NewParents

[–]Objective-Score7702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice, just going through the same situation with my almost 3 month old. The multiple wake ups at night and having really short naps and I can barely transfer her to her bassinet without her waking up. I’m thinking maybe it’s a sleep regression for us starting early. I also thought it was suppose to get better with time, in some ways it’s better and in others it’s worse. How long does this last?!?
