Wonder week leap 3

chelseajeanene

Oh my god...this is a tough one! He's good during the day but once night time hits I feel like he just hates me and I can't do anything to make him happy! Anyone else going though it?

Oh lord yes. He had two nights of crappy sleep and yesterday he wouldn't nap for more than 35 minutes at a time. I love the excuse for constant snuggles though because normally he needs way more stuff to do than just stare at mom haha. He's been so chatty that the fussiness is worth it. My back is killing me though.

Yup! Super fussy 2 days ago, yesterday she was just ok... But last night was awful!! She's always been a short napper- so I never really get a break, now I don't get to sleep either! How long has this one lasted for others??

What week's is this leap during?

PinkPrincessPiper

Yes!!! I don't want to pay for the Wonder years book/app, but I may break down & do it. My LO was 12 weeks Tues, and since has been fussy at night & nursing non-stop!!! I'm trying to increase my milk supply to satisfy her & daddy has been helping with the nighttime-just-wanna-snuggle stuff! We will get through this, mamas!

I think Leap 3 occurs during 11-12 weeks.

Who has the app??? Is it worth the moolah?

It's 11.5-12.5 weeks but based on their due date. My son is 14 weeks and hit this leap a few days ago


I think it's totally worth it @PinkPrincessPiper! This is actually the first app I've ever bought lol but now I completely understand that when my LO isn't acting normal, that there is a reason for it. Which is pretty nice, they hit the nail on the head with 99% of what I've been dealing with my LO

There isn't a ton of information on the app but for $1.99 it's worth it to know what milestones to look for, help encourage and WHEN it should happen. My guy was two weeks early and so far it's been very close with the first two leaps. The next one is only a week away for us and I'm not looking forward to it

@donnajanelle mentally prepare yourself because this one is no fun!

We are starting it this week or next. The last 2 leaps were spot on so we'll see. The app is only $2.

My LO is 4 days from leap 4. 3 was really rough, especially at night. He went from waking up once between 7:30pm and 6AM to waking up like 3 and 4 times. Thankfully it didn't last long, though.

What app do you use?

Wonder weeks

Mine was really rough and lasted about a week and a half. Horrible sleep at night. Eating wasn't normal and horribly fussy! Night was the worst but way more fussy than normal! So glad it's over!!!

Just starting our 3rd wonder week - and I go back to work Saturday - I start work at 6am... LO has been sleeping TERRIBLY the last two nights - I'm terrified of how I'm going to survive this.

Mine went through the leap a few weeks ago but now I think we're in the 3 month growth spurt because he's up almost every two hours to eat at night and then cries after until we soothe him back to sleep. It also takes a half an hour of serious crying and fighting on his part to get him to fall asleep for the night. He's very fussy at night. Makes waking up at 5:00 in the morning for work pretty difficult! I realize as soon as we get over this spurt it'll be just in time for the four month sleep regression. So it's basically it's a cycle of a few weeks of good sleep and then a few weeks of bad sleep for quite some time!

I'm just figuring out the wonder weeks.  not sure how I've only heard of it now...

 

chelseajeanene

I never heard of them until the ladies on here started talking about them. They're so spot on

booksandcleverness81

Yup, mine was fussing and clingy more than normal yesterday so I looked and yup, just started leap 3. And we're flying across the country on Saturday, wish me luck!

11 weeks today and DD has only stopped eating long enough to fuss or nap for 20-30 minutes. And on top of it all, we had a snow day today for the older kids and I need to be getting ready to host Xmas next week.

For. The. Reals.

I hope she moves through this one quickly because I can't do this for too much longer! She hasn't slept well since her 2 month dr appointment 2 weeks ago. Mama is starting to become a crank butt!

After the wonder week is three month growth spurt then right into the 4th wonder week(s). No end in sight lol

Our LO turned 13 weeks on Monday, and has been so grumpy/fussy the last three days!  

Leading up to this he gave us one of his best nights of sleep ever, he slept 8 hours which has NEVER happened before, not even close! Now the last two nights he has woken up roughly every 3 hours!

He is totally fussing at the bottle, he starts out okay and about half-way through will begin to push it away, and squirm all around.  It's like a battle to get him to even come close to finishing a bottle.  He doesn't want to play on his play mat (which he usually enjoys for at least 20 minutes) he just lays there for a few minutes and then begins to fuss.  His naps have been terrible unless we are out running an errand, he will usually fall asleep for a bit.  He is drooling like crazy, and constantly putting his blankets or any fabric in his mouth.

Last night he was so fussy when my husband came home from work, it reminded me of a few weeks past when we were still dealing with the witching hour.  We haven't had an evening like that in quite some time, so it was surprising...everything made him cry!

Does this sound familiar to your LOs going through this wonder week?

He started Prevacid this week for his reflux since Zantac wasn't helping enough, and of course it lines up right with a wonder week.  So we can't tell if his behaviors have anything to do with the medicine or is it caused by the wonder week.  AHHHHH!

Please tell me your babies went back to normal after this passed?  Sleeping normally again?  It was SO nice getting a taste of those longer stretches of sleep at night for a few days!!!  Please tell me they will come back soon!!!

Just in time for the 4 month sleep regression lol! I just stick with the idea that my little guy is always going through something, and try not to stress about it. Some days we sleep, some days we don't. Sometimes he's cranky, sometimes he's not. This is also the reason I don't worry to much about a routine or sleep schedule... at this point it just seems like a losing battle to me lol

I need to adopt your positive, go with the flow mindset.... I feel like I stress myself out more reading and trying to schedule, change or fix things (like I'm doing something wrong).

Kayciejoe56

@Sully3302 it's not always easy! Sometimes I find myself stressing out and researching about our lack of routine! I worry sometimes that I'm holding him back by not giving him predictability. But in the end I just remind myself that flexibility is also important, and a happy mommy is best for everyone. I really think that its helping him be an easy going baby... he sleeps pretty much anywhere (not great but not terrible) and generally just goes with the flow.

Eta: I also always wanted to "fix" something... even when there wasnt really a problem. I was striving for the perfect baby! Between that stress and a long talk from my mom, I really just had to let it all go and enjoy!

While the wonder weeks has been spot on for us too, I don't think me being on my cycle has helped her either. They say the taste of your breastmilk changes a bit; causing fussiness and affect to your supply at times. I got my mirena a few weeks ago and have been off and on bleeding ever since.
