Due in June/July/August 2016

I think it's so interesting to really hear about the different personalities these babies already have! This is my first pregnancy and I feel like I've been feeling this little one since at least 18 weeks. Sometimes I think that his/her front is facing my belly button and he/she is just going to town with jabs and kicks out the front of my belly! Still doesn't feel like there's really a human in there.

I hope I have an amazing sleeper! And overall just a good baby. A friend of mine had her baby in April and he had colic throughout basically all of summer and she was miserable. Just hope we can avoid that!

I hope too that you Have an amazing sleeper in here. I think there is a little link between baby's movements and his/her personnality (calm or not) but not too much. Don't remember a big difference between DS1 and DS2, but DS1 was an amazing sleeper (like I didn't understand why some young parents seemed so exhausted 😜) and DS2 was all the contrary, he didn't sleep at night for 1 year, this is how I did understand some parents😛 Lol)

Atomic told me not to trust the gender experts and just to wait until possible to know! I really hope that this Baby Will stay with me. Can't wait to be 3 months+
Have a scan on 7th of January, can't wait!

My cousin told me when my oldest was 6 weeks old that you are supposed to start laying them down "drowsy but awake" between 6-8 weeks" so that they can learn to fall asleep on their own. I had no clue! I started a bedtime routine and laying him down awake at 7 weeks old and by 8 weeks he slept 8 hours a night. At 12 weeks he started sleeping 12 hours a night and always did after that. My second little guy was a totally different personality but we started the same routine with him and he started sleeping 8 hours a night around 14 weeks of age. I had never heard that learning to fall asleep is a learned skill until I became a mommy but it truly is!

They definitely have their little personalities before they are born! DS 2 was my lazy baby in utero and he was a very lazy baby and didn't care to walk until 14.5 months!

Good to know about the sleep schedule thing! I will take any and all tips and tricks you ladies have! I've been reading Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp and a lot of what he says makes sense too about helping babies become adjusted after birth.

Master his swaddling technique! It's the best and works wonders! Although you may have to double swaddle them- mine are houdini's! I only swaddle to sleep though.


DS1[emoji125]🏼, DS2[emoji577], DS3[emoji170][emoji577][emoji843][emoji602][emoji170]

Speaking of swaddling and houdini babies which swaddle do u guys like and recommend ? I am thinking of giving woombie a try this time around bcoz from experience a good swaddling can make a ton of difference

The HaloSleepsack was the only thing we found that was small enough for our youngest but could keep his arms in. We tried the woombie and because his arms were free inside- he would just wriggle them up to the neck and get stuck and wake up crying. My oldest hated the swaddle so we didn't use it. He was my best sleeper though. We co slept from day 1 til about 9 months and he slept through the night in his crib by a year. My little guy was the opposite. Because of being in the NICU and then on monitors at home, we had to start him out in a bassinet and he still doesn't sleep through the night at almost 2. He wakes up once or twice and needs rocked back to sleep.

I have used the halosleepsack as well in past and would recommend it.
I have heard of this "arms being free inside" problem with woombie before as well.

I wondered about swaddles as well - have you heard about the Love to Dream swaddles?? They seem counterintuitive to swaddling but seem to get good reviews? Target Mobile : Expect More. Pay Less.

I guess though thinking about it more, babies do have their hands near their faces a lot in the womb and that makes sense that they want to still do that but feel confined?
