Hi everyone, our 3 month old is super sensitive (I think, or maybe it’s normal and I’m overthinking). He had colic which has thankfully cleared up but he seems to get overstimulated easily. On the one hand he needs to be entertained constantly and loves ‘chatting’ and us talking to him, but if I yawn, or sneeze, or someone laughs too loud, or if I pull a face he doesn’t like he suddenly looks terrified and bursts into tears! Is this normal? I feel like I have to be very careful and gentle when playing with him to not upset him. It’s almost like he suddenly thinks I’m unfamiliar and it scares him.
Also I find if we go to baby classes he sometimes cries because it’s too much going on, or even if he seems ok in the session he tends to get overtired afterwards and cries in the evening.
Is this normal? It’s my first baby and I love him so much, he does seem intelligent but I’m just worried he’s a little over sensitive, and that he will grow up to be an over sensitive child? I’m quite a sensitive person myself so maybe he gets it from me!
Some reassurance would be amazing! Thanks
