It was AMAZING. Suddenly I was like, "Oh, THIS is why people love babies!!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197496 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:06:58 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 197496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for us it was around week 5ish, maybe a little earlier. Things were definitely better around 6 weeks - nursing was going really well, he was interacting, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197397 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:07:06 +0000 regberadaisy 197397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: I have to agree!<br /> I hope it's a sign of things improving and not just a glitch! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197353 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:34:34 +0000 LivsMama 197353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I cant remember if we were week 6 or 8, but it was like a lightbulb went off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197348 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:29:23 +0000 calsmom 197348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 7 weeks and last week I began to see a change in him. It's now becoming more evident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197347 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:27:47 +0000 pelikila 197347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was around there that things got better. I didn't realize it at the time but looking back that was around the time I didn't mind everything as much any more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197345 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:25:19 +0000 Sammyfab 197345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think every baby is very different. I think most people say week 6 because that's when peak fussiness ends. More commonly I have heard 3 months, 4 months or 6 months is when things turn a corner.</p> <p>I don't know if 'normal' is possible with infants! Hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197339 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:20:30 +0000 Honeybee 197339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always heard it's week 6; right after the growth spurt, most babies start eating more at each meal, sleeping longer stretches, and becoming more social (smiling, cooing, etc...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197334 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:19:23 +0000 Weagle 197334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: We're in week 6 so maybe the magic will happen once this growth spurt is over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197330 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:16:34 +0000 chopsuey 197330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For us it was week 6! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/week-8-magic#post-197329 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 12:14:06 +0000 Weagle 197329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mommy friends keep telling me that week 8 is the magic week where LO starts figuring out life outside the womb and things get back to normal a bit. Did you find this to be true? </p>
