My normally sweet baby screams like a banshee, I think it's teething. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-475044 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 11:19:21 +0000 winniebee 475044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: advil helps a little bit! I knew it was teething b/c he would put stuff in his mouth and then start crying, which he never used to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-472890 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 19:18:33 +0000 SLR 472890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I did some reading on wonder week 5. Pretty interesting. Perhaps this was causing some of the fussiness. I can definitely see a huge change in her how alert she is (when awake, that is) over the past few days and she seems to be developing more of her own little personality. Her napping seems to be getting better, but she's still fussing during feeding and not sleeping worth a crap at night. Hope your week 5 goes better than mine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-472879 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 19:10:44 +0000 DillonLion 472879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tomorrow starts week 5 for us and this thread is freaking me out! So far she has been a very chill baby... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-472877 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 19:07:35 +0000 SLR 472877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Phew! At least it sounds like there is an end in sight...I think I can make it another 2-3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471235 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:24:29 +0000 heffalump 471235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo had reflux but we didn't know until she was older and it got a lot worse with age, probably 3 months. Meds helped a lot, I felt great when we finally did them because she finally got some relief. Also, keeping her upright, especially after eating helped a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471190 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:13:49 +0000 ninja 471190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks 5-7! Now, at 10 weeks, he's totally chill! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471186 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 16:11:14 +0000 stargal 471186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: p is teething too and it is not fun at all. Crtong when eating: waking up aloooot. Any remedys that have worked with your lo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471164 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:42:59 +0000 winniebee 471164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate to say it but this past week and he is 7 months old! He has been sick and teething and is acting possessed!</p> <p>But probably week 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471162 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:39:05 +0000 loveisstrange 471162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um... I'd say 3-12? She was a very, very screamy newborn. At 3 months, it was like a switch flipped in her head. She's awesome now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471150 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:23:51 +0000 sandy 471150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree that weeks 6-8 are the fussiest. My LO is almost 14 months and such an easy baby but I remember when she had her witching hour back then </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471135 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:12:47 +0000 hilsy85 471135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks 5-7 were his fussiest, ESP in the evenings. Now he really only gets fussy when he's tired (10.5 wks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471132 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 15:10:49 +0000 SLR 471132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Thank you! We are also dealing with some reflux issues but aren't doing any medication (yet). It's good to hear that you've seen improvement in your LO. The doc has said that it will get better as her system matures, but it's good to hear firsthand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471122 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 14:57:42 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 471122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weeks 3-8?<br /> At 3 weeks he started being insane..seriously.<br /> We figured out he has terrible acid reflux and was gassier than usually because of an inability to digest dairy proteins.<br /> So, I went on a dairy-free diet and got him some Zantac.<br /> Within a few days he was a new kid. Not perfect---we still got fussy for a few hours int he day but not terrible. I still had to burp him a lot and I worried about leaving the house because I had no clue what kind of mood he'd be in at any given moment.<br /> At week 7 he was remarkably better...8 was even better. 9 he was done being fussy except at bedtime because he was so tired.<br /> Now at 11 weeks (tomorrow) he is a very good baby. We put him down to bed before he can get fussy and his digestive system has matured a ton.<br /> Every week is SO drastically different than the one before. Babies develop so quickly that their behaviors are usually just phases. In time it all get better (that's been my experience).<br /> My rec is to try and feed her before she get ferosiously hungry so that you're not dealing with the fussiness. And something that made a huge difference for us was music. I would turn his lullaby singing sheep on, nurse him, burp him and rock him to sleep all before the music ended, and it calmed him down tremendously. Oftentimes, just getting to them before they are *too* sleepy, or tired..or whatever is the key. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-your-los-fussiest-weeks#post-471111 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 14:47:18 +0000 SLR 471111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be 6 weeks on Tuesday. Over the past week she has been fussier than usual, harder to feed, and fighting to go down to sleep/nap. </p> <p>She acts like she wants to nurse every two hours, but fusses while feeding and sometimes refuses or stops after just a minute. She'll open her mouth, start to latch, and then almost gag and push away. </p> <p>When tired, she'll cry and squirm on my chest but not want to stay asleep. And when awake, she has been hard to keep content without fussing.</p> <p>Not sure if it's true, but I had heard that week 6 is often the peak of fussiness for some. What was your experience?</p> <p>Oh, and I don't mean to complain this much about LO....she really is a decent baby :) </p>
