Is there such thing?
I've always taken comments about connt being 'good' As a compliment but lately I'm wondering if he's too good ? He rarely cries ... He's very content and will just go with the flow . He smiles laughs etc but just seems very easy. He slept 12 hours a night straight through from 2 months old and Also naps twice daily.

I don't wanna seem stupid and I love him but should I be concerned that this all indicates to autism possibly?

Someone said to me that babies are meant to be hard work and if there not then something's wrong

My DD1 was a perfect baby. Slept through from around 4 weeks. Never cried. No issues with sleep/weaning/milk anything.

She got to 2.5 like that. Then turned into a headstrong little madam. Shes 4 now and no signs of Autism.

DD2 is 7 months. She cries only for a bottle and if she rolls over and gets stuck. But shes not sleeping through yet.

I do look back on DD1s first year and wonder why I didnt worry that I wasnt worried. But shes fine now.

If he is meeting his milestones in good time (DD2 still isnt sitting up) and seems happy rather than preoccupied, I wouldnt worry.

That she was so easy going. If I put her in her moses basket she slept. If I lifted her out she woke up. If we were out late there were no tears of overtiredness etc etc.

She didnt much care for cuddles either.

Every child is different. Don't worry yourself!

My 4 month old daughter is the same, such a happy little girl always smiling, very content, sleeping 12hrs a night since 12wks old. She watches everything her older 3 yr old sister does. She was exactly the same and is great for her age, clever little girl. I dont think you have anything to worry about. Just enjoy that you have a content and happy little boy. Not all babies are hard work, there is always something to be done even with a happy baby it just makes it easier for you:) my 3yr old can now be a little madam at times but its probably a mixture of just turning 3 and having a younger sibling now.

Both my kids were much the same, they're totally normal 8&5 yr olds now with plenty of will and personality, they were just incredibly easy going babies.
I don't get to say it very often as I know I had it so easy!

You just have a very chilled baby. Enjoy. :)
