Overstimulation

For the past few days, I have been having these big meltdowns every evening...no its not colic.
I turn all red and my eyes turn big and then I cry my little lungs out.
No one could figure out what triggered off these tantrums...and then mommy thought about things that have changed in the past few days.The one major change that has taken place is that I have been going out everyday..to peoples houses and to the park...and when she mentioned this to the nurse at Kaiser, the nurse talked about "Overstimulation". Apparently at about this age, all babies go thru this phase where they learn to observe new sounds and sights...Excitement, tiredness, and tension combine to prevent the baby from settling down.

So the nurse recommended that we stay home the next few days..that I not be exposed to too much too soon.

That puts a damper of our spirits coz my grandparents were sooo enjoying the daily outings:(
