I thought I was going to lose my mind. She napped til like 230 and from then til we put her to bed at 8 she was eating nonstop. I eventually had to let DH give her a bottle or I wouldn't have gotten dinner. Augghh. LO is 6 weeks on thurs so I think it's a growth spurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011866 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 22:06:41 +0000 Weagle 1011866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: This is so true. And after seeing it play out with LO, I'm hoping that I will keep it in mind and not get so frustrated with future babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011832 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:41:55 +0000 junebugmama 1011832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Every time you get used to something it will change" </p> <p>Someone said me to me in a Moms group and I just try to remember that everything in infancy was more than likely just a short phase. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011813 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 21:28:21 +0000 cmomma17 1011813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: we had a few days like this here and there when C was under three months old. Growth spurt, developmental leap, cluster feeding, comfort nursing, who knows! Baby just needed mommy/boobie! Hang in there, I know it's exhausting, but it will pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011760 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:57:08 +0000 Maysprout 1011760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Movie night! It's prob a bit of a spurt and he'll back off soon. When I needed a break I'd swaddle her up and hand her to my husband or he'd turn on some music and dance with her and I got out of the room. She'd protest but would calm down after a few minutes and at least give me time to shower but I had to be out of the room for her to calm down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011739 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:44:59 +0000 Pepper 1011739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I think all he wants is to eat! He doesn't want held, rocked, swung... nothing. He just wants to nurse nonstop. </p> <p>@grizz: Glad it passed quickly, hoping for the same for us! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011737 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:44:41 +0000 heartonastring 1011737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a growth spurt for sure! Rest assured that this too shall pass :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011736 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:43:43 +0000 Pepper 1011736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Not yet... he has been eating more frequently this week, but not constantly wanting to nurse like he is tonight! I'm hoping it's the growth spurt and he comes out happier when it's over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011709 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:32:25 +0000 Smurfette 1011709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: did he go through one at 6 weeks? It is around 6 weeks, it varies with everyone. But I remember mine eating all the time for that spurt. It was the roughest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011702 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:30:11 +0000 Boheme 1011702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I posted a desperate thread around 7 weeks when C was being a fruitcake. It passed quickly! Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011698 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:28:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 1011698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what it is, but I know how frustrating it is! Hang in there. Can you put him in a carrier? Would that help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011697 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:28:21 +0000 Pepper 1011697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm wondering if it's just a little late? Because this is definitely not typical behavior for him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011684 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:19:31 +0000 Smurfette 1011684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be the 6 week growth spurt? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-baby-is-only-happy-tonight#post-1011680 Mon, 12 Aug 2013 20:18:31 +0000 Pepper 1011680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he's nursing! He screams his face off unless he's on the boob. I know he's getting enough because he's gone through a ton of diapers tonight. i cant even walk into the kitchen to get a drink or he's hysterical! He has been like this all night. He's 7 weeks old tomorrow. Is this normal? I thought this kind of behavior happened earlier, when you're building your supply... </p>
