He has pretty much been like this since birth. He won't be put down on his playmat at all. I have to hold him all the time and even that doesn't stop the screaming. I go out as much as possible and he is quite in the baby bjorn but it is just a temporary fix because he screams again when I come home. I'm trying to get him to play with things (I'm worried about his development due to constant screaming) but he isn't interested.
The worst thing is, I take him to various classes and it starts off well but then is usually a screaming fit at some point. He gets overtired and won't sleep. I notice all the other mums with "perfect" babies looking at me in despair. What am I doing wrong? I've even stopped seeing one particular friend with an apparent angel baby as I'm getting tired of her fake sympathy and lack of understanding - constant questioning as to why he's crying. Like I know!!!
Don't get me wrong, I love him to bits and there are very smiley moments during the day (particularly when someone else is there!) He loves to sit in the supermarket trolley but I'm spending a fortune at Sainsburys just for his sake.
Any advice? Please? I really do love him but I just feel as though I'm not enjoying him.
