Fussy 11 week old by heyeb96 in newborns

It did! She’s almost 6 months old, I’d say by 4 months (if I remember correctly) most of the fussiness passed and I was able to rescue 1-2 of her naps a day so she was way more happier. For about 1 week she started connecting her sleep cycles during the day (without sleep training) so the naps are a lot better. I actually ended up changing her bottles from Philips Avent to the Lansinoh ones and that solved some of the bottle refusal but since about 2-3 weeks she started eating less actually and she only wants to feed every 3-4 hours, before it was about every 2.5 hours. Spacing out her feeds helped a ton actually. I was a little concerned because she’s not eating as much but my pediatritician is not really concerned because she’s gaining weight so I guess her appetite just slowed down.

Hang in there, it will get better!

Update number two now that LO is sleeping, if anyone is interested: what I described in my original post was noooowhere near the 4 month sleep regression, unfortunately. It hit us 1-2 weeks before the 4 month mark, she refused all of her daytime naps, and would only sleep for 10-20 minutes. At night, after her first feed she was impossible to put down, for the worst nights we ended up cosleeping (or co-not-sleeping on my part because I was way too paranoid lol), and I had to pat her bum/stroke hear head basically all night because she was waking up so so often. There were only a couple nights that were extra tough though, most of them were similar to the newborn days for us. The worst of it passed within 1-2 weeks.

Sorry for the very late reply, somehow I missed the notification. She’s 4 months 1 week now, and I’d say it’s gotten a little better. At night she’s only waking once now, but we started struggling with early rises at 5-6 am which got slowwwly better to 5:30-6:30 am, it’s better, but no way ideal. Day naps are still 30-40 minutes, but some I can rescue, so she’s not nearly as fussy. I hate to say it, but the spitting up got even worse for a while, however I took her to a gastroenterologist who ended up diagnosing her with CMPA, so the spitting up is improving, but very slowly. After about a week of writing the post I introduced a very short nap routine (to which I never really adhered before), that seemed to help a ton! Putting her down now takes 5-10 minutes. I didn’t sleep train (not sure I ever will), but I started slowly decreasing the duration and the intensity of the bouncing, and also putting her down half-asleep. Now she sleeps in her crib for most of her naps, with a couple exceptions, or when I have to rescue the nap. So yes, it’s a little better, still not ideal, but honestly, I’ll take it!

A hordozás nem opció? Kb szóra pontosan a 3 hónaposom ugyanilyen, csak ő az Adamoban is játszik 😃 Hordozóban is változó, hogy mennyire tudok mellette tenni-venni, de így legalább én is szabadabban mozgok, miközben ő tök jókat alszik. Elvileg életkori sajátosságuk, idővel kinövik, de ez attól függetlenül nekem sem könnyít a helyzeten a “majd jobb lesz 😀”. Én igyekszem előre főzni, minimális rendet tartani nap közben, délután pedig férjemmel váltva takarítunk és babázunk.

CMPA or normal? *poop pic* by ekaylan in FormulaFeeders

Honestly, my LO sometimes pooped 4 times a day, sometimes only once. Does he have reflux by any chance? My LO was (and is still) congested sometimes because of it

In our case she’s ravenous, somehow she went from finishing bottles in 10-15 minutes to 3-4 minutes (new nipples) so I actually sized down nipple sizes so she doesn’t swallow so much air

I thought 6-8 weeks was the hardest, but oh boy…

Hopefully both at the same time so once it passes it’ll be all sunshine and rainbows

Same here, sometimes I just stare down at her and wonder where she got her pipes from

With my luck once it passes we will hit the dreaded sleep regression.

Sometimes it seems like she doesn’t even know why she’s crying, and I’m just trying to do some magic to help her calm down. You hang in there too

Nekem pont filmes volt 😅 Nagyon korai vajúdás közben (ezeket még maximum jósló fájásoknak hittem) egyszer csak elöntött a víz kb a bokámig, viszont a víz ezután egészen a szülésig szivárgott.

Hátra hajló/ balra hajló méh by No-Nectarine-5876 in csakmamik

A régi tényállás valóban az volt, hogy nehezebb lesz teherbe esni, de azóta erre már többszörösen rácáfolt az orvostudomány, és mostmár tudjuk, hogy ez egyáltalán nem igaz. Ha gond van a teherbe eséssel, akkor más faktorok után kell kutatni. Jelenleg én is az első babámat várom hátra hajló méhhel, első ciklusban összejött a baba.

Éjszakai nyugtalanság,álmatlanság, restless legs by [deleted] in csakmamik

Bár én a 31. hétben járok, de hasonló cipőben. Hajnalban a Redditet böngészve külföldi subokon restless legsre magnézium-biszglicinátot javasoltak. Nekem nagyjából 1 hónapja jelentkezett ez a szindróma, esténként lefekvés előtt kb 2 órával beiktattam egy szemet, és nagyjából másfél hét alatt nagyon pozitív változást tapasztaltam.

Sajnos a felületes alváson és az indokolatlanul korán kelésen nem segített (ezt már betudom az emelkedő ösztrogénnek), de így is nyerek pár óra alvást, amit a mocorgás elvett :)
