My 10 week old daughter is pretty fussy during day time naps but we don’t swaddle her. When we put her to bed for the night, we swaddle her and she knows is sleep time and goes to sleep quickly and sleeps well. Do you think it would be ok to swaddle baby for daily naps so she gets a higher quality nap and decrease fussiness?

Baby Care Tips

We are taking our first road trip to Amarillo, TX to visit my husband’s family with our 2 month old son. It is an 8 hour drive from where we live. I am a little nervous about this new experience, not to mention that we are leaving after my husband gets off of work which is my son’s fussy time. Does anyone have any tips to making this trip a little easier?

Thanks

All you need to know about your newborn.

My daughter is just 5 days old and today she has been extremely fussy. She slept all night besides waking to feed and then this morning was up at about 6:00 am and has basically been up most of the day and it’s now 1:00 pm!! She took a couple tiny cat naps that were 10 to 15 minutes long and would wake up crying. I’m breastfeeding and this is so discouraging because my hubby and I went through this with our first daughter. She was a fussy baby and I always blamed it on something I ate that upset her stomach. I stopped most dairy products and she got better so I haven’t been drinking any milk since our second daughters birth. We don’t have food allergies in our family on either side so I don’t know what the deal is, but it makes me want to switch our new baby to formula. Our daughter was on hypoallergenic formula after 6 months of age and did fine with it. I just wanted to give my daughter breastmilk for the nutritional value and to build her immunity, but this makes me so sad!
My newborn is finally taking a nap right now that is longer than 15 minutes so I’m typing this now. She has been sleeping great up until today and her nursing has been bad and her fussiness is really upsetting. I’ve given her gas drops as well and they don’t seem to have helped.

He eats about every 3 hours, sometimes its hard to make him wait for that mark he gets really fussy because he wants food. He’s been eatting any where between 2oz to 3.5oz is that to much and also how can I make him wait for the 3 hour mark before i feed him again. My doctor told me to feed him every 3 hours during the day and when ever he wakes up at night. Don’t let him eat before the 3 hour mark but sometimes he wants to is there a way i can hold that off till the 3 hour mark.

My baby is 3 months old and I can feel teeth in her upper gums. She’s started to drool and become a little fussy here and there. Also, she keeps bringing her fists to her mouth. If this IS teething, how long between feeling the teeth in the gums and having them break through??

I have always wondered if every single woman who has smoked while pregnant had an unhealthy baby, asthmatic baby, fussy baby, etc…. a friend of mine smoked during her pregnancy and had a fussy but healthy baby and her bf said it was due to her smoking that the baby was fussy. Is this true? I just want to know if anyone had a perfectly healthy happy baby after smoking while pregnant or if there is ALWAYS a side effect….i hope this makes sense and i hope i worded everything properly…

this is not a question that needs answers with lectures because as i said its just a question not like i need to know how bad smoking may be for an unborn baby…

Calm Your Fussy Baby Now

If they are still fussy and grumpy. Do you get them and call it a nap? Do you let them try to resettle themselves?

Just wondering what most moms do. It happens in this house with my 9 month old and I know we are not alone.

Calm Your Fussy Baby Now

He is 2 and half months old. I try not to eat in front of him because i feel so bad but sometimes i just have to.. He has had a small taste of some things (not from me) from his aunt and grandmother that i did not know about until awhile after it happened, so i feel really guilty when he stares because he knows what he is missing. he stares at me and gets fussy when i am eating like he is getting mad that i am not sharing with him. Does anyone else’s baby do this?
