Wonder Week 19

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Yikes! I think we may be in the middle of it. Tell me about your experiences with wonder week 19.

My baby was born 2 weeks past his EDD, so he's only 17 weeks now, but I've heard that the wonder weeks go by EDD.

Here's where we're at: He's having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep for naps. More clingy than usual (he's usually a super independent baby). Fussing more. Figuring out how to roll. Endlessly amazed by his hands and feet. Taking control of his toys.

    Is this similar to the 4 month wakeful? My baby is a bit more than 19 weeks but has been doing all those things, and it interferes with her sleep.

    I don't know what and if there is a label for it but my kid is going through something.  He used to eat 6oz every three hours now it is 5 some times, 3 sometimes, 6 maybe.  When you indicate that he may need a nap, he starts screaming.  He will fuss for 5 mins or so and then be so smiley.  

    He loved to play with his toys but now he wants to be held and sit up more.  He almost never spit up and now he spits up.....with all that.  He is eating, wet and poopy diapers, no temperature and generally happy so I figured it is just something babies do.  I just hope this period doesn't last long.

    DD is 20 weeks today, and we're experiencing the same thing. Her appetite is nuts! She's been eating close to if not all of a 7 ounce bottle every 3 hours.

    Wow. Props for going 2 weeks late. That, in itself, is a huge accomplishment!

    Aren't growth spurts supposed to follow a 369 pattern? So 19 weeks is right on schedule. We'll be 18 weeks on Tuesday, so we're getting geared up for one soon. From talking with other Moms, I've gathered that the 19 week one is a booger. There's so much cognitive development going on at this age. GL to us all!!

    Who knows how much longer I would have gone if they let me go into labor naturally...

    Anyway, just wanted to let y'all know that after a terrible day yesterday (fighting naps all day, hard time settling for bed at night), he slept GREAT last night. Went down at 8:15ish, woke at 1:30 and 5 to eat, then slept til 8:15! I seriously feel like a new woman, lol. Now he's napping peacefully again. :) Hopefully the worst of this hurricane is past.

    At this stage the babies develop stranger anxiety. They are going to be more clingy and want to feel the security of mom/dad holding them. It is ok, you are not doing anything wrong, just stay strong, this phase will be over before long. Just give your sweet one what it needs and all shall be good.
