Their sleep-deprived brains will have difficulties handling that information in a positive and polite manner. Been there… not proud of my reactions. | |

Don't worry if he's s bit behind in babbling, tracking, etc. This is what your doctor is for, and he should have an 8 week visit coming up soon. When he gives you his first belly-laugh, you'll forget everything you worried about. Enjoy! | |

| Aug 23, 2021 at 7:34 | comment | added | Flater | @nick012000: We went to the pediatrician the day before it started happening because he wasn't sleeping very well. It took us a while to figure out the right balance of feeding/meds to solve cramps/diarrhaea issues. An appt takes a few days and I need to book leave from work, and it seems a bit futile to now go back and basically go "now he sleeps well. What now?" That's not to say that I wouldn't take him if necessary, but I'm rather trying to figure out whether there is any indication to do so, as sleeping more doesn't strike me as cause for concern. Hence the question to make sure. | |
