My DS (nearly 11 mo) has been a grumpy, miserable baby since 48h old. He had awful colic for the first 4 months, breastfed near permanently for comfort, wouldn’t sleep unless being walked for miles in the sling, screamed in the car seat/pushchair. Tried omeprazole, I went dairy free - did nothing.
It felt like out of the frying pan into the fire at 5 months. He hasn’t cried so much for the last half year, but the soundtrack to our day is a permanent fuss/whinge/moan. He’s permanently scowling or fussing and only cracks a laugh if he is literally being thrown around the room. He despises being on his tummy and hasn’t got a notion about crawling. He’s desperate to walk, but not that close to doing so. He gets so frustrated with everything - he regularly throws himself face down on the floor and will smack his head and hands down until I get to him. He hates being held unless I’m walking him round outside - a cuddle is his idea of hell! He’s only happy if we are out somewhere busy and stimulating (like the supermarket or the park) and he’s facing outward in the pushchair. We’ve finally been able to start baby sensory and swimming, both of which he seemed to thankfully enjoy. The car journey and getting changed for these activities is pretty torturous though!
He sleeps pretty well (11h usually straight through with 2 pretty decent naps) and he has taken to eating solids well so I don’t think he’s either hungry or tired. Its horrible to write about your baby, but I sense he’s bored, frustrated and angry 
My husband and I are both pretty broken by this. I’m totally exhausted and touched out. I’m going back to work in 1.5 months which I quite frankly can’t wait for.
Has anyone experienced this and have any ideas or suggestions how I can help him? Thank you.
