I keep thinking I’m doing something wrong..
My baby has always been a crier, car seat, pram seat, nappy changes, outfit changes, nap times etc.. first 6 months we put it down to reflux, I had a lot of advice from HV/ GP as I was really struggling.
He’s improved with his reflux but I think now we are in a constant state of teething.. (he has 6 teeth now) or am I just making an excuse for his constant crying?
I can’t go on pram walks, I can’t go on drives, I have to constantly hold him/ entertain him for him to stop crying. I feel like there can’t be something up with him because the moment I hold him or entertain him he’s so happy and giggles/ babbles!
I’m just wondering if anyone is going through something similar?

Yes! That was my baby girl. I just got a really good baby wearer and wore that baby around. She eventually learned to tolerate those things with constant exposure and now at 8 months can play independently for a good amount of time and can take pram walks. It’s only a phase. Hang in there mama

I have had the opposite but now similar. My baby was a dream for the first 6-7 months, slept well, slept ANYWHERE, when he was able to sit up he would play independently for up to almost an hour at a time whilst I was in the room/grabbing a brew etc
But then we hit 7.5 months (8m today) and honestly he is a different baby. Crying, fussy, grizzly, hysterically cries the moment we walk out the room, hardly smiles at me but smiles at everyone else/his dad. I genuinely feel like he hates me but I know it’s just a phase but GOD it’s tough!! Honestly I’m so worn out because if I’m not entertaining him he’s draining me by crying 🥲 rolling with the punches!
