Long story short, DS2 ihas always been bloody difficult, cried no end as a smaller baby, literally inconsolable. Tried reflux medication, feeding less but more often, feeding more, cranial osteopathy, dairy free, you name it we tried it. NOTHING works with this child! He is beautiful, utterly adorable for about 5 seconds at a time and then the whimpering and 'crying' starts.
Arrrgh, sorry this is just rant to vent. DS1 was the same so I think I just breed hard work babies but my GOD it is hard. We try and get out as much as possible but even the school run ends with DS2 whinging and shouting to come out of the pushchair. If he could walk I think it might helo but he has low muscle tone in his legs and is currently being referred for physio to help with this so it feels like it's a long way off at the moment. Poor little lad must be so frustrated but half the time I am convinced he doesn't even know why he's moaning. He'll do it while we're playing, reading, out in th pushchair just all the time for no particular reason. Sometimes it just gets a bit much having him whine and cry all the time whilst still trying to interact with DS1 (age5).
Sometimes I say 'DS2, STOP your moaning, there's nothing wrong is there?' and he'll stop and play for another minute until he starts again! Grrrrr. Why???! Anyone else had this? It's getting embarrassing to take him round to people's houses as everyone says how unhappy he is or keeps asking me what's wrong with him when the truth is I have no idea. Sadly DS1 was the same until he could talk. How do I get through this and help him without wanting to bang my head against a brick wall?
