Hi everyone, great support thread.
DD is 8 months and I think very very very tentatively that things are beginning to look up (don't want to count my chickens etc!).
Over the last 8 months it's been;
- Screams in the car seat, unless someone is sitting in the back with her
- Screamed in the pram carry cot, a little better in the pushchair unit but not for huge amounts of time
- Screams in the bath, getting out of the bath, getting dry and getting dressed
- Pretty much hates all getting dressed, getting coats on, generally being "fussed" with clothes
- Screams if anyone other than me (and sometimes DH) holds her but equally hates being put down
- Naps for 20 minutes at a time, usually on me
- Bf to sleep then wakes every two hours for feeds or cuddles, usually ending up co sleeping at some point through the night
- Will not sleep in a travel cot when visiting family
- Sits unsupported very well but at 8 months does not roll (not keen on lying on her back, hates tummy time), no signs of crawling, pulling herself up etc
Her saving grace has been that she loves the sling so when she was tiny I carried her around in stretchy Moby and now she's bigger I have an Ergo.
However, as I said I feel like things have slightly begun to turn a corner... (DD has literally just woken from a 25 minute nap so hope I'm not speaking too soon). She has started doing a new longer stretches in her cot at night- some 4, 5 and even 6 hour stretches over the last week in the early part of the night (and then co sleeping later in the night!). She will spend increasing amounts of time with my mum, my sister etc while I shower or something. She is much better in the car, and I usually try to time longer journeys with when she is tired and she will fall asleep (before she would have just screamed). She is much better in the bath and even enjoys splashing around a bit although she still hates getting out, getting dried and dressed. She seems to like weaning (BLW) and is enjoying trying different foods (something different to keep her occupied!).
It is very helpful to read similar experiences from people. I know a few people who have babies with high needs in different areas, e.g. hates the pram but good sleeper, but DD seems to be all at once! I have one lady in my NCT group who seems to have a wonder baby. One time I was telling her about how when DD wakes from a nap or in the night she doesn't just wake and start cooing etc, she immediately starts screaming (no chance of self soothing!). Her advice was- why not try putting a few toys in the cot so that when she wakes she can just occupy herself playing with them rather than calling out for you? I looked at her like WTF!? And said "Errrr yeah thanks!" Some people have no idea what it's like!
I'm at a point where I can't imagine another baby in the mix and I really REALLY want to beat people up whith their stupid opinions 
to you all, I'm only 6months in and ready for the hills, I also have a 3yo to contend with.
) I used to be beside myself with "why isn't my baby like that?" and crying a lot. I hate/hated people saying to me "she'll get there".
