I only ask as i currently have a 4 week old, my second child, and im not sure if me and my partner are deluded or if we really do have a hard baby compared to most others.
Everyone tells you that newborns just sleep, eat and poo...they cry when somethings up i.e. boredom, hunger, tiredness etc. both my babies seem to have a few good days and nights but then, last night went like this - she woke at 8:45pm when i only got her down at 8:15, cried and cried untill 12:45am when she finaly gave in and i got her off to sleep.
tonight similar situation, she woke around 7:30pm for her bottle, and at 8:30 untill now (11:20pm) has been crying in pain and only stops to either drink or when i bounce her up and down. shes fallen asleep on me 3 times tonite so far but 2 minutes after puttin her in crib she wakes and cries again. is this normal? or do we have a harder than average newborn?
I feel like im constantly moaning about how hard my life is and wondering if i need to have a wake up call if this is how all babies are in those early months??
