Hi.. My baby jsut turned 3 months old. I need your help regarding the following..
1) She isn't sleeping in the day time. Her sleep schedule is from 9 P.M to 7A.M. She doesn't sleep at all during the day time. She started rolling over(From back to tummy, and is also able to lift her head properly,and is practicing draggin herself forward ).. She is overstimulated, and tired, but doesn't sleep, and keeps crying from afternoon onwards.. I carry her around, and she sleeps on my shoulders for some time, but, the moment I put her down ,she wakes up and cries.. I just don't know how to make her sleep.. I give her massage and bath at bed time (around 8PM and she dozes off by 9).. Should i massage her in daytime also?? I am confused.. Why cant' she just sleep, if she is tired.. how do i teach her that?

2) My mother is staying with us.. So, my baby is used to my mom, me, and my hubby.. My dad comes in the weekends to see her.. He used to carry her for a long time, and she was okay with that... But, for the past one month, the moment she sees my dad, she starts crying out loud (as if she is in pain).. I don't know why she doesn't like my dad.. He loves her a lot, and, I want my baby to understand that he is her grand father, and , she shouldn't be scared! I asked him to carry her for sometime, even though she cried.. but, she just increases the intensity of crying.. And, she is just 3 months old, so, doens't understand anything! My brother also sees her only in the weekends, but, she seems okay with him.. What do I do ??
How do Hetal replied. sry about late reply. days are getting shorter for me.
1.massage her,if that gives her relaxations. when babies newly learn to crawl, sit or stand and laterr on walk, they are excited about and are often overstimulated !
and right now she has started recognising you as a primary caregiver or a mother,,and doesnt want to seperate from you..love her, curdle her..not a prob..keep trying to put her down,,nthin wrong if one day she doesnt demand you. also, leave her alone when she is playing in her gym or with her toys,,but keep an eye on her. now she can recognise you very well, she can see almost all dark colours and she can smell you, hear you from distant,,so she will want always that her primary caregiver is with her..keep her down and talk to her,sing her something good,,dont worry if you arent a good singer,,it doesnt matter..its your voice she needs to hear.put some good baby mozart-baby einstein cassette or cd music,,it will relax you too.let massage time be playtime during noons. sing to her, giggle her in her toes,,she her reflexes...she will love it.play peeakaboo with her,,at 3months onwards babies are ready for it ! i taught my dd at 3months, she learned at 4-5th month,,at 6th, she was doing it herself ! it was fun and a lovely game.increase their vision to understand that nothin disappears and everything is behind something-if not seen.
2.with your dad too,,right now ur baby memory is good enough to recognise hands of her main caregiver and people who are around most of the times..with your dad its not the case, which is quite obvious..and dont expect that to be the case, until she understands that by 9months or 1 year, that this person comes,play with me and goes...until now your baby didnt recognise you too, for her neone who would lift her was ok for her,,not nemore ! if you want your baby to understand that hhe is grandfather, let your gf visit you guys more often,,after 5months, once she will start recognising pictures,put a good big picture of your loved ones around the walls,,take her to that and let her see it or just touch it..she will be familiar with face which will reduce the stranger anxiety abit.
you can try that right now, she will be able to see the pic in dark shades as of now.and in some hands, surprisingly babies feel ok,it all depnds on their own moods and times..we cant predict it..i have had many incidences,where mothers say their babies dont go to neone,,with me they saw them playing better than their mothers ! and in some cases, there were mothers who were confident about their babies not having stranger anxiety and they ended up crying in my hands after a while ! so you see, we cant predict them.its tough to understand wat triggers them to do so.
see if all this helps...

good luck.
