Fussy baby support and solidarity

[NewMomma21]

Anyone else out there with a relentlessly fussy baby need some support or a vent?

Im almost 9 months in and baby has not stopped since he was born. He has transitioned from crying to screeching and all day whinging. It’s so tough going. Nothing has “worked” as such I think it’s just his temperament.

Anyone else at the end of their tether with a baby who hates being a baby?

I'm kind of here as well OP. Mine is 10 months and spends literally all day reaching up to be cuddled/helped to stand and it is RELENTLESS. She needs constant stimulation and I'm not used to it because my first was really chill. Solidarity!!

Huge solidarity. What helped me was thinking that baby is so completely helpless and unable to control whatever is happening to cause such distress. It’s so so hard and the relentlessness torture ❤️

Hi Sarah, thanks for the support. Did you go through similar? Did it eventually get easier? Thanks

Exactly the same here. Huge stimulation required. He’s so easily bored quite literally to tears. Had your DD started to crawl yet?

I had this for my first and found it really difficult to see others found parenting so easy and thought it was something I was doing. It did get easier - I found it game changing when she could communicate.
Second child was a dream, slept, barely cried, I did nothing different. I've now realised it is total luck of the draw.
You are doing a brilliant job, it gets easier!

My first DS was an absolute walk in the park compared to this. I was thoroughly unprepared for how difficult he is. Good to hear things did eventually improve for you. I put up a question here recently and a large number of people suggested DS is autistic and that sent me into the stratosphere with worry.

Solidarity!I have a baby that sounds exactly the same and am also searching for some
Solidarity/ help! He is 4m old and extremely fussy, cries a lot, needs constant stimulation and to be held up. He's been fussy since birth. Sleep is also terrible, he wakes every 1.5h on average so having to co-sleep. I had no idea it could be like this. I'm exhausted and can't help feeling slightly resentful when comparing to my friends' chilled babies.. and anxious about the future.
