to want to smack the next person who tells me how lucky I am to have such an easy baby.

I'm not saying she is a difficult baby, I'm sure there are a lot worse but how the hell do they know, just because when they occassionally see her she's happy and content. Are they with her 24/7 do they see her when she's screaming her lungs out or refusing to go to sleep or waking up every three hours? So they tell me what an easy baby I have and make me feel like the world's shittest mum if I ever get frustrated or upset with her or find being a new mum tough. Plus I'm terrified at the thought of having another baby because of dd is incredibly easy I don't think I could cope with a difficult baby.
Rant over.

People are making conversation-nothing more. Imagine them saying-'gosh-what a dreadfully difficult baby-poor you'! Would this make you feel better?!

I put my son in the trolley seat without fuss, the women next to me was having issues getting her daughter in.... She turned and said ' why can't you be like him and be good and just get in . ".

My son has cerebal palsy epilepsy, and is deaf ....... Some people should just be thankful for the way it is ......

This isn't a dig at you op it's at others who just don't see past the post ...... Oh and I used to get the opposite with first child - bloody nightmare and friends would say - scared of having another in case he is like him.......

people get offended by everything. You are lucky to have an easy baby, if you find her a struggle imagine having a colicky one.

DD is 3 months old and often very hard work although an "easy" baby.. I thank my lucky stars every day for it!

I remember, when ds (quite easy) was 4 months old, that I was so totally exhausted that I just wanted to sit and cry.

I remember taking him to the HV for something or other and not being able to speak, I was so tired, and I hoped desperately she'd notice and give me some wise words, but there was nothing wrong for her to help with.

I think you run on adrenaline or hormones or something for the first three and a half months, and then you sort of collapse a bit for a few weeks and then it's ok again. (Based on straw poll of friends at the time, no idea if that's more general.)
