[QUOTE="Fran, post: 254662, member: 3"] I think the natural "new mommyitis" is nature's way of keeping babies safe. I would never pooh pooh it. It's important and all of us went through it. Afterwards, we realize that babies are not that fragile. I'd much rather be over attentive than under attentive. Same with other new mom's. If something strikes you as "out of the norm" a new mom,old mom or relative should question it. The mom is the child's best chance of survival in this world. Dad's have a different role completely. in my humble opinion. How many of us were ignored when we questioned behavior? None of us experienced moms have the market cornered on baby behavior. We simply know what our babies did. We missed things and over reacted to things too. As an aunt, I would watch for a bit and if you think the new mom should ask the doctor, pull her aside and ask if she noticed something. I do think it sounds like normal new born sleep patterns but if it raised a bit of a flag for you then that baby deserves your attention enough to bring it to mom's attention. Let an [I]expert[/I] tell mom that it is nothing and that auntie is over reacting. [/QUOTE]
