Where is my easy going, decent sleeping baby?
My DS is 9.5 weeks. I am super lucky that for the most part he is easy going, his fussing doesn't last too long and he calms down relatively easily, and he has been giving us decent stretches of sleep.
Nope. Not anymore. We are going on day 4 of supreme fussiness and sleep regression. I know he's so young and things just change, and I know (believe me) how lucky we have been so far, but I'm just wondering if around week 10 is a common time for changes? Did anyone else experience this? I've heard fussiness and sleep regression could be signalling a developmental milestone but I'm not sure which one would happen around this time. Could he be starting to teeth this early? (He is super drooly).
I think I'm just looking for some explanation to calm my very sleep-deprived brain. It doesn't help that I'm back at work and I had to leave him while he was crying this morning, after being up with him most of the night

Re: Where is my easy going, decent sleeping baby?
 I think we've all been there and it's so frustrating and upsetting to see your LO unhappy and have no clue what is wrong. I remember my DS did this right before I went back to work, around 11 weeks old. Unfortunately this just happens from time to time, even now that DS is a toddler (although at least now it is pretty infrequent so it will get better!). I found reading "The Happiest Baby" on the block to help a bit. You might want to give it a try. It talks a lot about how to soothe infants. GL! Hope you get some more sleep soon.

I don't think it's teething just yet. Could be a growth spurt. He'll get back in his groove soon.

Re: Where is my easy going, decent sleeping baby?
Lots of hugs for you. Your DS is still SO young. Things can change from week to week. I know that's not what you want to hear at all, but when they are so little and growing so fast, things change easily. I think you posted the other day about trying out the crib at night. Are you still doing that? Maybe go back to the RNP if he was sleeping nicely in that. Just know that this too shall pass. I know it's hard to see that when you are in the weeds and sleep deprived and still have raging hormones, but this will pass. You will make it through and DS will be fine. It could even change tonight! Good luck.

Pretty much sounds normal for a baby so young. This too shall pass.
And I'd be counting my lucky stars he was so easy for his first 9 weeks. That's highly unusual!

I'd go with growth spurt. I think there's one around 10 weeks.

Re: Where is my easy going, decent sleeping baby?
this always happens to my son 1-2 weeks before he hits monthly milestones. He is almost 5 months and Usually sleeps 10-12 stretches.. Usually.. Lol.. however when he is going throw a growth spurt he eats like crazy and his sleep pattern is all thrown off. For a week straight he gets up twice a night, etc. He has done this every time!! it gets better

This is us but it started at 13w and lasted only a few days. Last night LO was up twice but it was due to gas. 2 hours later he was back asleep and slept till 7:30.
DS is also drooping up a storm too and we think he might be starting to teeth too. I feel like it's SOO early though.
