TERRIBLE TWO'S? (MONTHS THAT IS)

[mrsduff]

Just wondered if anyone else noticed a change in behaviour of their baby once they hit 2 mnths? As soon as she hit six weeks (shes nine wks now) mine has gone from being a good sleeper (from 11pm to 7am with one 4am feed) to waking up every two hours. She used to take a nightime bottle but now acts like im poisoning her when i try it! plus she 'snacks' on the breast rather han doing 25 mins like she used to... or is normal considering she's still tiny??

It all sounds normal to me - both the change at 6 weeks and the behaviours she's showing. They get better at feeding as they grow so the quicker bfing is just that - she's getting the milk she needs more quickly, so that's a good thing! The sleeping pattern sounds normal to me too for that age. Don't worry as it will all settle down again in a few weeks.

well she seems to be smiley and lively most of the time, which is a good sign. good to be reassured though, thank you!!

Sounds very normal to me too. Could she be a bit colicky? That messes up their usual sleep / feed routines big time IME (lots of snacking and night time waking going on here since the colic-monster paid a visit...)
