Amy, sometimes you just have to say, 'you know what, today just isn't going to happen'. I still have to remind myself of this now but when I do, the day just feels that bit easier. Give in to it, get comfy and enjoy the cuddles. You won't spoil her doing it now and then and remember, she is going through so much growing and developing right now, so just some days she will want a Mummy cuddle to get her through it.
 
Hayden sleeps great in her bassinet at night but won't go down for a nap without me jumping through a few hoops! She loves to sleep on my boob - that's her favorite! If I wear her, she tolerates that most of the time. In the car or while strolling is a pretty good option most days. But as soon as the motion stops or she's moved to a bed, she starts crying :dohh: it's hard!! But at least they're napping at all cause I know moms with LOs that don't nap AT ALL!!!
 
cannot believe William is 3 months old today!! where did them 3 months go???
 
Happy 3 months William!

Thanks, ladies, for all of the advice, you helped me through a tough day!
 
So yesterday Hayden fell asleep at 5pm and pretty much slept through until 8:30am! She briefly woke up to feed at 7:30pm, 10:30pm and 5am. Pretty much fell right back asleep after each feed. She then napped from 12:45-3:45 this afternoon and we had a hard time keeping her awake after 5pm...she crashed at 9pm as soon as we put her to bed. She also took several micro naps (15-20 min) throughout the day! This isn't normal - anyone else's LO sleeping a ton? I'm worried...I know that sounds crazy but it seems like a lot of sleep!! Wondering if I should call my doc...she's not feverish or congested...just very sleepy! Keep waiting for her to wake up and refuse to sleep but its not happening! I hope she's ok...
 
MrsC, Emily goes through phases of more and less sleep, I think it's normal. If you are worried then maybe you can track her sleep to see the total number of hours in a day for a week or so and then if it seems excessive call or go in to her pediatrician.
 
Mrs chez- she could have gone through a growth spirt! Carson sleeps so much some days and other days not at all. If it continues for a few days I might consider calling but I wouldn't worry about 1 day especially if she doesn't have a fever or anything.. They grow and develop so much that its hard on their little bodies and brains.
 
Good idea to track and count and see how it goes for a couple more days...I'm just a worry wort!! :shy: Miss my laughing, alert baby girl :baby:
 
Amy, I have days like that too! Sometimes no matter what I do Alfie just won't sleep! I normally find that a couple of days like that are followed by a day or two of more sleep so I put it down to growth spurts - 1 or 2 days feeding excessively to stock up then 1 or 2 days excessive sleeping.

Yesterday was odd, Alfie was unusually fussy and randomly cried out for no reason when a parcel arrived! Then he stopped crying as quickly as he started. He also didn't nap all morning but then napped for most of the evening. Very strange. I read they go through a wonder week at 8 weeks so perhaps that's the cause :s he seems normal again today but is having his jabs later so doubt it will last!

I put Alfie in his sleeping bag last night for the first time, he seemed ok a bit restless but I think that may have been down to his odd behaviour yesterday!! I will try it again for a few days and see what happens. It was definitely easier not having to tuck the covers in and he was nice and cosey when I got him out this morning.

Happy 3 months William :D
 
Happy 3 months William.

Sophie was wide awake all yesterday and today she is fast asleep. Made me look daft at Bounce and Rhyme when I said she is awake more :haha:
 
Rose I have been using a gro bag from 3 weeks. M hates blankets and ends up kicking them off she loves her bag too and as it was big I just tucked it in at the end of her moses basket.
 
Jen I wondered what to do with the end!! As its way too long. It ended up bunched up under Alfie's legs as he kicks them up in the air a lot! He didn't seem bothered. Tucking it in is a good idea

Kte that's always the way!! They always do the opposite to what you tell people they do ha.

Jabs are done, Alfie cried loads when they went in but seems ok now. He's a bit sleepy so I'm just going to let him cuddle up and sleep on me all afternoon :) poor baby!!
 
Hopefully Alfie does ok after his shots today.

KTE, isn't that just the way!?!

Emily is still sleeping in swaddleme sacks
 
Rose, I hope Alfie is ok after his jabs.

Poppy has been so unsettled the last 24 hours, she wont be put down or sleep. As soon as I put her down she cries. Not sure what is up?
 
He had a sleep for a long time after we got home but since he woke up he's been so upset, gave him some calpol earlier which seemed to help a lot but he is still very upset :( hope he gets better soon! Before the calpol he was inconsolable!
 
Sportysgirl has she got bad wind? Alfie is like that if he's very windy or needs a big poo!! Or maybe she's going through a wonder week they apparently have one at 8 weeks - google it, I did the other day it's very interesting!
 
Sportysgirl, :hugs: to,you and Poppy. I hope she settles for you soon, it is so hard when they are like that, especially when you can't figure out what's wrong.
 
Rose hope alfies ok after his jabs W was inconsolible for 24hrs had to giv 2 doses of calpol.
Sportysgirl hope poppy settles for you

AFM im in shock got W weighed today n hes a whooping 13lb14ozs! Hes put on 2lb8ozs in 3 weeks lol
