My baby is 12 weeks old today! She's hurtling out of the newborn phase. In any event, she's outgrown her newborn clothes. In these past weeks, she's had two doses of vaccinations and a surgery. Nothing too serious but frightening for the new parents nonetheless. These past months have been exciting, to say the least. She's moving from being a sleepy (and portable) newborn to a lively girl with clear likes and dislikes. It's been fun taking her out. Last month, we took her to a friend's reception and she just slept in her soft carrier through all the noise. Everyone commented on how cute and calm she was. I'm trying to get her into a daytime nap schedule as well. To this end, I've been reading two books: Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Dr. Marc Weissbluth ; and The No-cry Nap Solution by Elizabeth Pantley The first book contains very little on newborn sleep and just tells me that baby will be consolidating daytime sleep from weeks 12 to 1
