When she's not feeding or sleeping, my 6 week old dd2 screams the place down. She won't be put down for longer than a few seconds, whether it's in the buggy, her moses basket or the car seat. She needs constant comforting and carrying about. It is exhausting, I have to do everything single handedly because I know that if I put her down to let's say put the wash out, I'll go back to a yelling, red faced, sweating, hysterical child. Our dd1 was so laid back compared to this one, I don't know what to think of it. She is healthy, puts on weight beautifully - I breastfeed on demand - gets plenty of attention. She will only calm down in our arms, getting her to nap is becoming impossible. She's better at night, after an hour bedtime routine still...
What is it ? Is it anxiety, a sense of insecurity ? What can we do about it ? She almost looks terrified sometimes.
I would appreciate any help/comments. dd1 is suffering from her sister's attitude as well, not getting the attention she should (she's 2.10yo).
