A new thing to drive me nuts! - Infant Care (up to 18 months old) Message Board

DS found a new thing the last little while to drive his mom crazy with. He keeps waking up in the middle of the night where previously he slept through most of the time. That's not the thing that's driving me nuts though. At first he'd just talk in his crib. A few squeals and hoots and he'd put himself back to sleep. He got this new thing lately. He sticks his legs up as high as he can get them and brings them crashing down onto the mattress. Actually it's the same thing he does in the bathtub. He's only 4 1/2 months old but man can he splash! lol He scared me to death last night in the crib! All I could hear for about a half hour or more was thump, thump, thump. I had to get up to see what he was doing. It was impossible to get back to sleep because it was extremely loud. Anyone else babies get any new cute yet maddening tricks? I hope he forgets that one fast.

Celestine,

my DS does the same thing, and it also started at 4mo, but I have to tell you, he is now 6mo and is still doing it. I have to hold his legs very firmly when I change his poopy diaper, b/c on couple unfortunate occasions he slammed his feed into the poop.

DS absolutely loves to eat glossy magazines, I just can't read anything in front of him, he shakes from excitment. I try to read the stories to him, but he will have none of that, he just wants to RIP IT and then EAT IT.

DS used to sleep pretty well at night, lately he wakes up and wants to talk my ear off! I try to roll over and go back to sleep hoping he'll stop, but it just gets louder and turns to cries if I don't talk back!
