2 month old - fearful and angry baby???

[commuters30]

Hi everyone

I know babies have their needs and crying is their way of letting us know but... are these normal or do I have an usually fearful and angry baby?

1. when hungry she would whimper a few minutes before going into a piercing inconsolable scream as if she hasn't been fed for days, and looks seriously angry

1. screams randomly for no reason in the middle of her sleep

1. looks "angry" in her eyes, including staring and really intense eye contact when she's unhappy

1. fights really hard and gets angry in her face when we put her to sleep or in a position doesn't ljke

5 if we swaddle her, she again fights so hard and looks so angry in her eyes and grunts to fight to get out... then 5 mins later she's ok

it's the fighting and anger I'm worried about

All of this seems within the normal range of grumpy baby behaviour. She's not "angry" she just only has one way to communicate, which is screaming. The staring is her getting used to focusing on things, her vision is improving all the time and the world is full of fascinating things to look at!

New babies have wrinkly faces, they look grumpy and scowly all the time and they can only communicate by crying. You're overthinking it, your baby is just a baby, enjoy her!

If you're concerned, speak to your GP.

I am extremely concerned that you are assigning emotions to her behaviour. Pleas do not assume any of these behaviours mean anger of fear. They are signs of need or discomfort, not emotion. If you do this is will subconsciously affect you you are with her.she is a very tiny needy baby. When a baby starts to become hungry, feed her before she has the need to ramp it up
