The Highly Alert Infant: A Guide for Parents of the "FOMO Baby"

Some infants are highly alert, intensely curious, and resistant to sleep, often described as "FOMO babies." This guide explains why these behaviors occur, how they relate to temperament and brain development, and how to distinguish personality from medical issues like colic or reflux. Parents will find practical strategies to help their baby settle, including managing stimulation, creating predictable routines, swaddling with a safe, comfortable swaddle like the Momcozy Easy Swaddle Wrap, and using gentle motion, sound, and contact. The guide also emphasizes the importance of parental self-care to prevent burnout. Understanding and supporting a FOMO baby's needs today lays the foundation for their future strengths in persistence, creativity, and determination.
