3 Month Old That Hardly Sleeps!

My son just turned 3 months old and has been having trouble sleep for the past 10 weeks. The 1st 2 weeks we were home from the hospital he was an angel! He slept all the time and hardly ever cried, then all of a sudden he started being really fussy and crying all the time and not wanting to sleep (except for when he is held). This has been going on for weeks. It seems like he wants to be constantly held. I can get him to sleep in my arms, but the minute I lay him down he is wide awake and beings to scream.

Brand New 3 Month Old to My Family Daycare---unusual Feeding Schedule

First three days of caring for precious 3 month old baby boy. He is happy, loves stimulation and children being around. LOVES to be held and especially talked to.

Double Stroller vs Snugli Type Carrier

I am due to have my 4th child on July 3rd and am trying to figure out what form of "transportation" I want to use for the mall or park or walks etc. My youngest is going to be 22 months when this baby is born. I would like to know everyones opinions on which is better - using a Graco front to back double stroller (it would need to accomodate my Graco Snug Ride car seat) or putting the baby in a front style carrier and putting "big" sister in the stroller. My concern with having my 22 mo old walk is that she has hit this phase of wanting...

5 Month Old Has Odd Crying Habit

When ever my little 5 month old daughter cries and you try to calm her down by holding her or cradling her she insists you stand up. Once you get her to calm down and stop crying if you try to sit down with her in your arms she will start to cry all over again. Has anyone else experinced this? We are trying hard not to spoil her and feed into this weird habit but for some odd reason she will only calm down if whomever is holding her remains standing.
