This week you may notice that Aricia spends a lot more time watching what's going on around her and is becoming increasingly social. She will flash that gummy grin at any and everyone, and show interest in colorful toys that make noise. Baby gyms with mats offer a comfortable place for overhead play as well as tummy time and will provide lots of entertainment and opportunities to explore and learn.
Aricia is probably pushing up on her arms regularly while lying on her tummy. Her legs are getting stronger too; if you pull her up to a supported standing position she may be able to put some weight on both legs.
The moment you've been waiting for is finally here: sleep! Somewhere around the age of three months, most babies begin sleeping for extended periods of time each night. In all honesty, you may be more excited about the sleeping than you are about any of the other milestones Aricia reaches about now - it will give you the opportunity to get some much-needed rest! She is able to eat and store more food to get through the night, so she doesn't need to wake up for several meals. These stretches may last up to six hours! While you may not consider this "through the night," it's a vast improvement.

if you hv problems with latching, it's best to get help from a lactation consultant, to solve all the "ifs & buts".
