My youngest DC is my hardest by far. He has been like this since he was born and I keep thinking he's going to grow out of it any minute, but almost six months later and he's the same.
Hates being put down - for anything. Naps, when I'm cooking, trying to feed other dc. Screams in the car. Mostly screams in the buggy though sometimes ok.
Only happy when being carried or in the carrier. Cries himself to sleep, even though he's breastfed to sleep (so cries and feeds at the same time).
Even when he's happy there's a whingey edge.
I honestly think he's a bit tired and hungry all the time. But really struggle to get him to nap or sleep properly. Even in the carrier.
Anyone else been through this?! I keep imagining he's always going to be such hard work.
This constant low-level whining or full-on crying is really getting me down. I'm an upbeat person and my other dc are so jolly, but this is testing my up-beat-capabilities!
Anyone's babies been through this and come out the other side?! All I can imagine is that he'll always be hard work.
