My daughter was born nine weeks early and taking it from the day she was born she is four months and a week, but from her due date she is 8 weeks and two days and we are always advised to take her development from her due date.
Last week she was a nightmare, screaming all the time, wouldn't be put down, nothing made her happy. She wasn't having as much dirty nappies as she usually does and I think she was a little constipated. This week, different baby! Up at seven in the morning for a feed, after that sleeps for maybe half an hour and then is awake and gurgling away till I take her out her walk. Sleeps like a lot in pram. Bring her home and lay her on the bed for a while and she babbles away and kicks her legs for a while until she has had enough (hungry). Has a feed, sleeps for another hour then I wake her and put her on her play mat for a while and it's the same as above, happy enough until she gets hungry. After this feed she's very sleepy, wakes up again later for a little while for a bath and a feed but from about five o clock in the evening till seven o clock in the morning she sleeps! Wakes for her feeds and takes her bottles well and goes straight back down most of the time!
What has changed here?! I'm starting to get worried, because a week ago she would not go down and had to be rocked and walked around in our arms for hours. I recently got her an amber teething bracelet and its around her ankle, she's probably a bit young for teething and I don't see anything in her mouth but it doesn't hurt to have the bracelet on. Like I said I don't think she is teething, but she has a lot of strange symptoms that point in that direction like increase drool, sucking on bibs/clothes/hands if she can get them in her mouth and (an odd one but I've read it's a sign of teething) very vinegary smelling poos!
Could be the help of Amber bracelet that has helped her settle, could be going through a growth spurt or is it possible that she has just settled?
