Every man and his dog said my lb would turn into a happy boy when he was on the move....I'm still waiting!
From day one, he has been a challenge. He is amazing, but he is literally ending me. From the moment he wakes to the moment he goes to sleep, he cries, winges,moans! He has reflux but he's been discharged from the hospital, and he's improved slightly.
He is crawling and even pulling himself up on the sofa already, and he does it while whinging. He will not entertain himself, he has no interest in cbeebies, music, toys...nothing! I spend my days carrying him, putting him down...scream....pick him up...scream!
I've tried not to pick him up and lettting him cry it out, but after 15mins hes in a right state, crawling and throwing himself about while crying and screaming.
Sleep is an issue he only has around x 2 30/40 min naps all day, so i dont think that helps, but even having contact naps, he won't sleep any longer and i have to wrestle him to have a contact nap and hes litteraly fighting it.
night-time, he has a good routine and goes to sleep well but does wake 1/2 times night.
He's so full on some days. It's like trying to hold a wild animal, he want to be picked up, but he doesn't want to be held...if that even makes sense.
mmumms told me she can't have him when i go back to work because he's so intense and full-on. He never stops, before he was immobile and would moan and cry with frustration. Now he is on the move hes no better.
I think he hates being a baby.
I dont know what I'm doing wrong, i don't know what i can do. he's just never happy. He has moments where hes happy, but they are fleeting, and we are back to square one.
Going out in the pram was a godsend because he would enjoy that, but even if that is a battle now, he screams, twists, tries to get out, and throws himself back and forth.
I'm at a loss, i dont know what i can do to help him.
Has anybody else had a baby like this.
I'm desperate!
