[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,I would gently invite you to step away from over analyzing your baby’s level of fussiness. You will run yourself ragged looking for patterns to emerge and making comparisons with questions like the one you posed. Every day is a new day with a newborn. [/quote] Cool thanks. If anyone has a genuine answer I would love to discuss. [/quote] NP: This WAS a genuine answer, OP. I found a rough correlation to the “wonder weeks”, but there’s been plenty of hours/days/weeks where it could just have been because it was Tuesday, because full moon, or some kind of juju. Babies (and toddlers, and tweens, and teens, and adults) are just fussy sometimes. This too, shall pass. If there is something specific you can help with, like pain, you give analgesic. Hungry/angry/tired/lonely - well you help with that if you can. But sometimes, just like you, your baby is going to be in a bad mood. You will get through, I promise. PP hit the nail on the head saying you could chase your tail for days trying to find correlations. Sometimes it just is what it is. And Hatcher it is will pass. [/quote] NP- No, it wasn't. It was a sanctimonious lecture about why she shouldn't be asking the question.[/quote] Different poster and I didn’t read this as sanctimonious at all. I wish someone had told me to step away from the internet when my baby was a newborn. [/quote] Same here. I’ll also point out that in the sleep deprived first year, sometimes mediocre days seemed worse just because I felt worse. If you really want to analyze your baby’s fussy trends, you need to make yourself a little chart and keep track of it. Be sure to include feeding and sleep times on the chart so you can see correlations. [/quote]
