growth spurt??????????
Mikayla has been sleeping throught the night since she was 1 month old..she
would be put down at about 11pm and sleep untill 5:30am and then we put her down earlier each night. For the past month and a half she has been sleeping from 8:30pm untill 6:00am everynight, untill two days ago..my dd turned 3 months old on Wednesday and on Tuesday night she woke at 2:30am, 4:30am and 5:30am everytime wanting to nurse...at least that is what I thought...even during the day all she wanted was to nurse. She also has not been having as many bowel movements, she has even skipped a day entirely! Another thing is she is drooling like crazy! I thought that she might be going through a growth spurt and then a friend said she may be teething...does anybody have any ideas???? Last night she woke at 2:30am but was able to fall back asleep.. thanxx for your help... Michelle |

I wouldn't be surprised if she's going through both. Three months, as I recall, is a classic growth-spurt time, and I remember my DS, now 12 months, going through one right around then. He also went to a once-a-week poop schedule at around that age, and didn't change that pattern until he started solids at six months. As long as the consistency is normal (e.g. not coming out as dry pellets) it's not constipation. If it's normal and she's not uncomfortable (straining) I wouldn't worry about it. -- Belphoebe |

no she doesn't seem to be straining..and it is not coming out in pellets so
I guess we are okay. What are some things I can do for her teething? She is not able to hold her own teething ring yet so I am not sure what will help...maybe a cool wet cloth for her to suck on? ...Michelle, Ralph and Mikayla http://members.rogers.com/mikaylaflikweert/ for pictures.

My son is about the same age as your Mikayla - he'll be 3 months in just a
few days. I'm amazed at how fast the time has gone! We aren't at the teething stage yet, but I have a bottle of Hyland's teething tablets on hand. They have worked very well for all the babies I know. Even though they're homeopathic and I got them at our local co-op, I recently saw them at Wal-mart of all places . . So you should be able to find them wherever you shop. Oh, and we did have a recent growth spurt that was accompanied by several days of fussiness. Good luck, and nice to meet you!

We use infant tylenol for DS. The one time we tried teething gel it freaked him out and made him scream--maybe because he didn't understand the numbness? -- Belphoebe |
