All or nothing baby!!
My second daughter is about to turn 17 months and since the day she arrived she’s either quiet and peaceful or full blown screaming. I don’t think I’ve ever in the history of time heard her just moan or whimper. There’s no simple cry she just cuts straight to atomic bomb level. Even just for a bottle when she was a new born, my first daughter used to stir first and then make little gruntty noises first before she’d let out a little “I’m hungry” cry. But not my second. She can go from being flat out asleep to red face crying.
It makes my anxiety go off the charts as I’m always trying to keep the peace because of how extreme things can turn. I get baby’s cry, obviously this is not my first baby, but I’ve never ever had a child like it. Even when I go into her room on a night to settle her she doesn’t stop the scream until she’s fully happy, there’s no simmering down or calming down. So I can be changing her nappy or giving her bottle with her blasting into my ears throughout the whole duration. Again with my first as long as I tended to her and got started with fixing what ever was wrong she’d start to calm down.
Has anyone else got a baby who’s always been like this and if so how did they turnout?

My LO isn't always like this by far. But he's just reach 4.5 months and his crying gets like this. I'm a FTM so it's very overstimulating and feels like a minefield trying to guess what's wrong🥲
Yes!!!!!! My son is my first, i thought it was normal. Then my sister looked after him one night (she has a 3 year old), she says she’s never known a baby like it, and it really caught her off guard. My BIL said his son never made his ears ring but mine did🤦🏼♀️ My biggest pet peeve is when people say just let him cry, because I physically cannot! The loudness of it sends me to 100 in seconds. My neighbour has been round to make sure everything is okay because his crying was sooooo bad, I was just changing his nappy. He immediately goes to a cry where he stops making noise, almost sick and can start hyperventilating. It’s so much to deal with - he’s not changed, but your child is slightly older than mine
