Anyone else feel like they have an unhappy baby?

I just feel as if my baby is never going to grow out of being fussy.  He is only truly content as soon as he wakes up from sleep for a few minutes...I try to use this time to play with him.  After about 15 or so minutes I start to feed him and he usually fusses the whole time I feed him and then for an hour or so afterwards.  Yes...he has acid reflux too.  He is on meds too. Finally, he gets himself so worked up I put him down for a nap and sometimes he'll sleep for  45 minutes and sometimes he'll sleep for 2 hours. In b/w feedings I try to play and entertain him, and he'll smile and giggle for a few seconds and then it's back to whinning.  What the hell!  I just feel like I am doing something wrong.

Harrison is 2 months younger, but yes, I feel like I have a baby that simply won't be content.

Ever.

He's crying on his playgym mat as I type.  Nate's sitting beside him, patting him on the back.  It's all we can do.

I feel like my LO cried from 3-5 months. Like the whole time. He has reflux too. Now he has more good days then bad. I think there is a crazy growth spurt, sleep regression thing that happens for some babies around this time. It wont last forever.

I feel your pain.  My son is certainly not an easy baby.  He requires constant entertaining and only lasts 10 minutes or so. My daughter was such an easy baby, slept through the night and was just so easy going.  My son, not so much.  I'm sure it will pass though.  Good Luck!  It wont be like this for long.

These past few days- yes. She doesn't want to sleep, cries all the time, claws at her face when we try to put her to sleep. She also has reflux and even cries while eating at times. She is exhausted and is exhausting me. I desperately need to leave her with my mom or MIL to go get my hair cut or something to recharge my batteries.
