I've got a new baby starting in 2 weeks. She'll be 3 months old. (I haven't had a baby that little in a year!)

I met with the family last night to go eating habits, sleeping habits and everything in between.

I'm really anxious to get this baby in here but by the way DCM & DCD were talking, she is quite the handful.

She takes a prescription medication for reflux, she spits up excessively (apparently all day long), she doesn't like the bottle (being BF), she doesn't like belly time and she's colic.

I've dealt with babies that have reflux and spit up but not all day, everyday.

And as for sleeping...she naps 45 minutes at a time usually twice a day. Are you kidding me?! Oh...and she sleeps in a swing!

Does anyone have experience in working with demanding babies like this? Any suggestions? I went into this knowing that a baby will require more attention but I definitely didn't expect a 3 month old baby to need to be bounced when fussy and only nap an hour and a half all day either.

She is going to have a tough time conforming to our schedule...I'm certain of it.
