DS is 11 weeks old and fights his sleep. His is in there right now sitting in his daddys lap screaming at the top of his lungs. He gets so wild, stiffens up, hits himself in the head with his fist, rubs his eyes. We have tried everything to calm him. We rock, swing, cuddle, swaddle, jiggle, sway, bounce, change positions you name it. DH and I are pretty calm people but we have made it a point to get him use to sleeping around noise. He can sleep through just about anything. He has no problem going to sleep in a noisy resturant. He doesn't do it every time he goes to sleep. Is it normal for him to be doing this? He use to only do it at night but now he is doing it during the day too. Is this just a stage that he will get out of or will he continue to fight it like this?

My dd is 8 months old.
When she was that age, she went through that fase as well. She really liked the swing. We bought a baby swing/convertable high chair.... it worked very well for her. We also bumped up her food in take. If memory serves me correctly, they tend to go through a pretty signifigant growth spurt around 12 weeks. That may be it. Try it out, or call your nurse or dorctor...let us know, and good luck!!!!!
