I'm at my wits end. I literally cannot move without DD crying. I get out of bed in the morning and it starts. She is constantly and I mean constantly whining and crying and I can't cope anymore.

If she's not in my arms, she's crying. So you can only imagine what I can get done in a day- nothing! If I put her down next to me, she still cries. If I ignore her she just screams and follows me around and gets herself all worked up.

I don't know what to do. She's been like this since she was a newborn. There is absolutely nothing wrong with her- no pain/ reflux- nothing. I thought things would improve as she got older but if anything I feel it's got worse!

Is this normal for some babies? I do take her out everyday for a walk/ playgroup etc but I can't live outside all day. I have other DC to look after. I can't get anything done. I'm trying to apply for jobs and I can't do it with her in my arms constantly screaming. It's getting me really really down.

Put her in a sling/carrier. How old is she?

How old is she? Sometimes you just have to gradually put them in a safe place and let them cry.

Sorry. She's 14m old. I can't put her in a sling! It's too uncomfortable for me.
