ok, my baby is 6 weeks and super fussy throughout the day and especially in evenings! I'm just confused because Wonder Weeks says 6 weeks is supposed to be a "Sunny Week" but then I've been reading other places that it's the height of infant fussiness so I'm a bit confused?
@yl1m32015 really?? Finally someone to commiserate with.. How long did it last for you guys?
We had a rough time from weeks 5-7. Terrible colic and witching hour. Once she hit 8w she flipped a switch. Smooth sailing ever since, she's 13w now. We also switched to anti colic bottles at that time, so that helped as well.
Wonder weeks is a great guideline but it isn't going to always be an exact predictor. I can tell my baby is going through a leap..even though he was due for a leap last week.
DD had a hell of a growth spurt/cluster feeding/fussiness time around 5.5 weeks. I've read that they have a growth spurt some time around 4-6 weeks. I think we're gearing up now for the 8 week one.
I feel like DS has been 6 weeks for months He sleeps all through the day, wakes up to feed and that's okay but hit 7pm he is STARVING, eats constantly until at least 1 am, but refuses my breast after a certain time for whatever reason so I have to sit and pump. Praying this isn't for long
Research shows that 6 weeks is the peak of colic and fussiness. I would trust the research over the wonder weeks app. My DD peaked at around 6 weeks and it's been steadily getting better. She's 7.5 weeks now. From what I've read, colic resolves for many babies by 8 weeks and most babies by 12 weeks. It sucks but gets better.
Our little guy seemed to go through his roughest patch this past week, between his 7th and 8th week. Yesterday he magically got better! Happy, smiley, taking naps, not so cranky or fussy, and no more clustered feedings!
He has been fussy since birth, and we suspected colic and some reflux. It was rough for a long time, and got so much worse the past week. I was assuming the past week was a growth spurt, and it looks like that might have been true. What a difference to finally get out of that!
