Where did my baby go!

Does he have a temp? I wouldnt be too concerned about one watery-ish poo, but keep an eye on them and if they keep up make sure you offer milk after each poo and take him to the Dr

Or could be he has just "woken" up...

Jake "woke" up at about 5 weeks and we had 3 weeks of him averaging about 7 hours sleep per 24 hours.. it was hideous!

All of a sudden they notice the world and it can be a very exciting but over stimulating place...

I would say just get him to sleep however you can, if that means cuddling him so be it...

He is due a growth spurt around now too

I agree it's a growth spurt around this time.

But if he gets a temp, is really hard to settle and screams non stop do take him to the doc's or ring health line 0800 611 116 for advice or plunket line 0800933 922. They are both great services.Not to scare you but babies go down hill really fast.

He could just be over tired.
Try a deep warm bath to relax him.
Put him in the pram amd wheel him up and down hall way or around lounge or over join in carpet.
Do you have a sling or moby wrap?
If not use a strong sheet and make a sling wear him close so he can smell you and hear your heart beat.
cuddle him to sleep, leave a piece of your clothing in his cot so he can smell your scent.
I used to tuck a top at the end of the cot so it was away from his face e.t.c but my smell was around him.
do you have a swing or bouncer? put him in that and rock him.
Or put him in his car seat/capsule and put a mussie or light cloth over it and rock him to sleep.
A plunket nurse told me about this it worked a treat with DS1 who would scream all the time!
Once he's asleep in the capsule transfer him to the cot.

good luck hope the tips help!

Pop down to the supermarket and get a thermometer, also if you have a look on the back on the plunket book it has a list of things to look out for if bubs is sick. Most importantly you know bubs best so if you think something isn't quite right then get it checked out!

That's what I did with Lily when I noticed she was a bit 'off'.

But like Mel said it may be that he is suddenly more interested in his surroundings! Lily has really "woken up" over the last couple of weeks, so where you are now and she likes to stay up longer during the day looking at EVERYTHING including the curtains and the top of the curtains where the light comes through lol

If he's bf-ing good then thats good, the poos - keep watching them and if he feels much 'hotter' than usual then def get it checked out!

Oh yeah I wrap Lily when over tired other wise her jerky arm movements wake her!! You could also try a feed after wrapping to calm him? That works with Lily
