Has anyone else had a baby like my ds? For the 1st 4 months he cried most of the day and night and had lots of problems sleeping. After cranial osteopathy and sleep training, things improved. However, he still spends most days moaning and whining (he's now 7.5 months). He's been checked by a pediatrician, but we were told there was nothing wrong with him. Apparently, he's just grumpy and we should put him in a highchair with finger foods! We tried it - it didn't amuse him for very long. He finds it difficult to settle anywhere, including his pram. I know he's just a baby, but his attention span is nil and he seems to get frustrated/bored with toys. He doesn't want to be carried and, in fact, doesn't particularly like cuddles. I'm on my own with him all day and some days I just want to scream! The constant whinging is driving me crazy. It can be quite difficult to get a smile out of him some days. We have more bad days than good. I just need some hope that it won't always be like this. I'm feeling quite down at the moment - as you can probably tell.
