From 4 months old when he started teething until literally last month he's been hell on legs.

Really intense, fast teething with seeming zero tolerance for pain. Constant, constant whinging and whining with a few big tantrums sprinkled here and there.

Coupled with the eldest bringing every domestic and exotic disease home.

It's been really awful.

However, he's been really lovely for the last 3 weeks... aibu to think he's going to stay nice??

Hi OP. I stumbled across your post as I have a 20 month old who has been hard work since he was a few weeks old. He was a reflux baby but he has always been unsettled, whiny, teethed support quick and constant as well as being hard work just generally with his temperament. We had a few nice days/weeks sprinkled in between. I noticed your post referenced turning a corner, how are thing now? I really hope they’re still in a good place as this gives me hope.

Aww I hope things are getting easier for you!

My son was a difficult baby and from 4 months to 2 years, it was so hard! Lots of reasons.

Things got hugely easier after 2 years!

Thanks for your input pumpkin 😊 That’s good to know. I will keep my fingers crossed it’s the same for us too

He's 2.5 now, fully potty trained 2 months ago, speaking more, generally so much more happy go lucky.

We went on holiday this year, restaurants are easier again and he plays with his older brother nicely.

Things are better. There are the odd times like earlier where he wouldn't eat anything and had a tantrum at nap time but he's definitely turned a corner!
