Who has a difficult baby or an easy baby?

Temperament wise, in general, regardless of leaps etc. Just in general, who has a calm, relaxed, easier baby. And who has a cranky, irritable, demanding baby? My LO is 7 and a half months and is just so grumpy and insanely needy to the point I can't even go to the loo or drink a glass of water. I'm so strung out, and she's always been like this. It's just not getting easier. Bored easily, and only contact naps for 30 minutes. Wakes a lot at night and needs constant attention.

Both mine were/are like this. My nearly 4 year old got so much easier once she was mobile and she is such a happy little girl now. My 6 month old is the mostly the same but more cheerful. I can only put her down for a few mins at a time, she hates the car seat and her pram, she wakes every 2 hours at night

Second one easy, first one….my god…. She nearly killed me off lol. She is the sweetest toddler now though, once she could move she was super happy. Don’t lose faith she won’t be like it forever ❤️❤️🙏🙏 the loo thing might not change but they learn to follow you in there and they stop whinging 😅

My babies temperament has been like this from the start too. Thrown in with a few little health hiccups along the way too, so it’s not been the softest landing into motherhood. Honestly it’s really got me feeling like I haven’t got it in me to have another baby which makes me so sad. Some of our worst days if I even look away from her to send a text, I can have a melt down on my hands. But then the guilt kicks in that I’m the one who’s causing her to be like this or I’m making her spoilt. So I can’t win. I definitely agree with the above, I’m sure once my daughter can move herself around I think things might get better because I’m sure a lot of this stems from frustration Xx

My first was such hard work, still is at 2 years. My 6 month baby is so chilled and easy going, it makes a nice change.

Yep my babies temperament is "curious" - lol. Read - needs constant stimulation. I find my baby whinges much less if I walk him round the house and garden 24/7 or show him new objects 🤣
