I want a happy baby :(

MY DS smiles once in awhile but not much. hes 2 months old! shouldnt he be grinning all the time instead of being miserable. I just want a happy baby who smiles. I grin at him constantly thinking that maybe he'll finally give in and start grinning.

this bothers me so much. I feel like im doing something wrong. =/

I'm not a mum just yet, but I avidly read the Baby Whisperer books, and according to her, some babies are just grumpy, and that's their demeanor. Hopefully he grows out of it for you

My first baby was very cranky until about 4 months. Now she's 2 and she's the sweetest, happiest girl. I think it just takes them awhile to figure things out sometimes.

This!! He is only 2 months old and just because he isn't smiling at you all the time right now does not mean he is *grumpy*

Give him some time

Maybe its just his personality. My LO got his "POed" face from me... according to my mother.

Don't give up hope. My daughter is 2 1/2 months and a very cranky baby. She rarely has times of happiness but they are starting to get more frequent. I think having a cranky baby makes those smiles all the more special.

I think it's cute that you always say "mum"  ...

DS was a nightmare (I hate to put it that way, but there is no other way to put it) at 2 months.  When he was awake he was screaming, crying, and fussing.  He's almost 3 months now and is constantly happy.  The only time he fusses is when he's sleepy and fighting it a little.  It was a very gradual change.

sometimes I feel like my kid has a permanent grumpy face .  But if I was constantly in pain with gas and spitting up alot (which she does) I know I wouldn't be joyful either.  I hope she grows out of it.
