Anyone want to give me a brief run down on Wonder Weeks?

[Sterla]

I've heard about Wonder Weeks, but don't know much about them or when they occur. I was also wondering if they can affect bubs sleep (as in, they sleep worse/less)? Any info would be greatly appreciated .

TIA

They do usually affect sleep patterns, in my experience anyway.
How many weeks is Oliver? I have the book so I can look it up for you

[Sterla]

Almost 29 weeks I think (had to work it out, lol).

hi sterla, I dont have the books, but have heard of them, as faras I know from my experience with DS, whenever he seems to aquire a new skill or go through a growth spurt (or the endlessness of teething!!) he has a bit of a rough patch.
he is 10 months now and has just worked out how to crawl and seems to be trying to practice in his sleep

I dont think I can post a link - but if you google 'CYH Wonder Weeks' it will take you to a great page on the SA Child and Youth Health site, I found it really informative

Mummynaomi I am pretty sure that sort of link is allowed.
CYH is an excellent website btw

That website has a pretty good overview so I wont post it all here too.

I found the Wonder Weeks book at my local library and found it to be a great read. You can even order it in from other libraries for a small fee if yours doesn't have it.
