he s usually in the witching hours at this time, but he s also super super fussy cause he s so tired. He was so over stimulated from yesterday s festivities. He kept eating/sucking his hands and so we gave him 3oz of formula... an hour later 2 oz. He s still crying and sucking on his fists... could he still be hungry? just tired? or is he teething (he s been drooling a ton) .... HELP!
Re: super sleepy/fussy and hand sucking!!!
At this age fist sucking is a self soothing thing, its just something they go through, I can't keep DD's hands out of her mouth even if she has a full tummy. He might be going through his 9 week growth spurt, that could be why he is fussy and wanting more food than normal.
My LO sucks her fist too for "fun". It is possible that your baby is hungry, but this is not necessarily the case. My LO has days where she eats every 2 hours. My baby bobs her head on my chest or shoulder when she wants to eat. I am not sure if bottle fed babies do the same thing though.
This exactly. We can hear Abby smacking as she is attempting to suck her fist into her stomach lol.
