After a very long three weeks, everything started to get easier. It took some time, but we are on a schedule and working towards normalcy. The hardest part was the three week and six week growth spurt.
I remember calling Mary to tell her that Sophia was cluster feeding, not sleeping and overall fussy. She explained to Jeff and I that this was the three week growth spurt. We would see a change in behavior and digestion. I definitely thought she was full of it. After two days of crying, I called my doctor and bought her in for an appointment the next morning. Of course, Sophia behaved like an angel, but I was happy to hear all was OK.
Needless to say, all fussiness continued for 5 more days, but shortly after she turned 4 weeks, our little angel returned again. Mary was correct. When we turned that corner, she informed us that there is also a 6 week, 3 month and 6 month growth spurt. We have just battled the 6 week bout, and knowing it was coming really helped.
I laugh at those people who give out advice like they live in your house.
Moms, all I can say is I have some good advice, but you don't have to listen.
I have learned to follow your babies lead. They will let you know what is to come and how to handle it. Also, seek professional advice whenever in doubt. Someone always knows something more than you. Don't reinvent the wheel, roll with the flow.
