The one month mark seems to have been pretty significant. The little guy is spending a lot of time smiling at us and much less time crying. Ultimately, it's impossible to know precisely what changed. Is it the swing? The swaddling? The Beethoven? Perhaps he just got to know us. Or maybe he needed a month to get used to the fact that he isn't going to be able to return to mommy's very comfortable tummy. Whatever it is, I like it!
That fits with the conventional wisdom that it gets easier at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. If the change after a month that you're talking about happened at three weeks, then he's on track for getting easier again pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteOf course, "easier" is, by definition, a relative term.
