Anyone else with high needs babies??

[em831]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has or had a 'high needs' baby. I'm struggling so much with my LO. I feel like I'm the only one going through this. Every single day is a constant battle. Every single night is even worse. I am starting to dread every day and don't know what to do. She's nearly 5 months and things are getting worse. Does it ever get easier??

For me it got easier when my DS started to crawl and then walk although it meant that I had to run after him all the time as he was a very very active little human but in terms of being content, I would say it got better when he started to enjoy his toys more around 14 months onwards. His 2.5 now and still has his needy personality and always wants more pushing boundaries getting bored easily and I feel I have it worse than some parents but I guess I have got used to him and just ignore his whinging and moaning. I have successfully given up breastfeeding this week despite him being a boob addict, it's been easier than I thought although he was very emotional.

Thank you for your reply. I'm glad there is some hope although still a while off for me yet. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong as she's never happy. Aww bless him I'm sure it must have been tough. You did so well to BF for so long. I BF too but I find it so draining sometimes x
