When does it get better?

Question

Baby is 2 months old. We have good days and some days are fussier where she’s cranky even after a feeding and won’t nap longer than 30 minutes at a time. I don’t think she has colic but still. I’m ready for things to get a little easier. Month two was an improvement from month one but it’s still hard to even get one thing accomplished a day. 
When did things start getting easier for you and what changed to make it feel easier?

Answer

Have you tried the white noise yet? Try doing feedings and naps with the white noise, it helps the baby to relax.

Answer

6 months plus for me is when everything really changed a lot. They start being able to play and interact and after 12 months I wish I could freeze time and keep them like this forever:)

Answer

Mine is 7 weeks and things are by no means “easy”. I can totally relate to struggling to get anything done some days. However since I started implementing the “eat, wake, sleep” cycle it’s helped a lot. Since she’s a newborn I don’t/can’t force her onto this but it does help me to know when she’s due for food or sleep.

Answer

Once we introduced solids around 6/7 months everything started getting a little easier for me. He was sleeping longer because he had more food in his tummy, I could sit him in his high chair and just let him play with his food while I cleaned etc.

Answer

After 3 monrhs you feel like you can breathe. Im at 7 now and our little fam is a mostly well-oiled machine as long as teeth aren’t happening

Answer

My daughter is 6 months and I feel like it’s about the same. She is a very fussy baby most of the time. I think I’m just used to it now, and I feel like she’s old enough where if she’s whining or fussy I just leave her to figure it out and don’t feel as bad. I physically can’t hold her all day so it is what it is! I am hoping once she starts playing with toys more and can entertain herself more it will get better! But still struggling over here!

Answer

For me it gotten better after I began a schedule and was consistent with it at 2 months old. It gets  better after you accept that it's a new experience for your baby as well as yourself. Staying calm is the best thing you can do. You can think more clearly and have more patience for yourself and the baby.
