what is going on today?!

in March 2011 Moms

LO is 2 weeks, 3 days. For the past two weeks, she has wanted to eat every 3 hours ... after eating, she stays awake for awhile, and then goes back to sleep until she wakes up hungry. It's been like that in three hour cycles - eat, awake, sleep.

 Today, she has been fussier than usual. Hungry every 2 hours. Falling asleep right after eating but not hungry right when she wakes up like she usually is. She usually only wants to sleep in my arms, but today she was crying in my arms but then fell asleep in the swing. She started crying in the middle of a feeding, which she hasn't done before. She usually loves her pacifier, today she wants nothing to do with it. I pumped for her last feeding instead of BFing to make sure that she was getting enough.

I feel like everything is off ... just when I was getting comfortable with what to do. I started worrying that LO was sick, but she doesn't seem THAT fussy and her temp is normal.

    Maybe a growth spurt?  Those can make them hungrier and sleepier.  Kids go through all kinds of phases and as soon as you think you've adjusted to their newest or think you've figured out why, they're completely different again.  Hang in there, and get used to lots of changes!  :)

    Every few weeks she'll have a growth spurt, and this sounds like one. And don't worry about getting too comfortable with a routine just yet... it's quite a while before they settle into anything for more than a few days/weeks at a time.
