Ds is our second baby - dd is 4. I was under the illusion that the second baby was meant to be the easy one . He spends a lot of his time wailing - having tantrums, clingy onto my leg. I kind of feel at the end of my tether with him. Basically his day starts too early (5.30) so he is tired and v grumpy...he wails until he gets his breakfast (with dp) - slight reprieve while he wolfs down cereal - wails afterwards until I get up and bf. Happy for a bit then wails until we go out (gets his shoes out and stands by the door wailing and screaming..will stop if I carry him around, but diff when trying to get dressed and tend to poor dd who has just got up. Screams and throws toys around if he doesn't get his own way. Happy when out - but seems v whingey at home....anyone else in the same boat? - is it a phase?
