Who stole my laid back baby?!

[carmen358]

Just kidding...sort of. Skylar has been mostly laid back up until about 5 days ago. She is still sleeping really well at night (4-5 hour stretch!) but during the day she gets super over-tired, very fussy and cries a ton more than she has her entire life so far! She will be 3 months on Wednesday so I'm wondering if this is a growth spurt? She is also fighting RSV since last Saturday Or could it be teething?! Or maybe a combination of all three things?! Wow, it's intense.

Hard to say with these little ones. Hope she is doing better soon!

Micah is a pretty laid-back baby, but when he had bronchiolitis he cried a LOT. I thought the same thing - was he "ruined"? Was he gonna be high needs from now on? But when he started feeling better, he went back to his normal & I was relieved. It may be a combination of things for sure, but in my experience, the sicknesses just puts them out. Hope she is back to being laid back for you again soon!

Ethan has been fussier each time he's had thrush (on round #4 right now). When the thrush is gone, he's back to his happy self. Hopefully Skylar will be back to her old self once she is feeling better, or done grow-spurting.

that must be really hard. We aren't there yet...still enjoying the little newborn stage (6 weeks on Wed.).

Thanks, everyone. Skylar is feeling a bit better every day and is slowly getting back to her "normal" self. She is changing so quickly now it seems like every week she's different!

to everyone else caring for sick babies! Not fun!
