Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Baby has never been fussy
I'm not meaning to AW myself or anything I'm genuinely curious if I should be concerned, my 5 month old has never been fussy, like he will whine a bit if he's hungry but has never once inconsolably cried or cried for no reason. As a ftm I read a lot how babies cry a lot so don't know if that's something weird wrong with him or if he's just a relaxed baby

Re: Baby has never been fussy
I hate you! I'm just kidding:) My son had colic and is fussy in general, so I can't help but tease you a little!
Like you, I have read several times that a baby cries an average of three hours a day (off and on). If I were in your position, I would ask my pedi at the next appointment just to be sure this isn't a sign of something. I am no doctor, but you likely just have a rare situation with a baby with an extremely mild temperment that doesn't cry or fuss. My neice was also like this. My brother and sister-in-law would swear she only cried a total of an hour her first year.
Hope you get some good feedback from your pedi that puts your mind at ease.
ds#1 was a very happy and calm baby. (He is still a wonderfully sweet and well behaved boy. We never went through terrible twos or anything like that).
ds#2....well they are quite opposites! he was screaming evey waking moment for the 1st 8 weeks of his life. we are starting to do better now...he is just VERY particular.

Sounds like you lucked out! Us, too. DS#1 was very needy, always had to be held, had to sleep on someone, you couldn't put him down for 10 seconds without Def-Con Level 5 freakouts. When I was pregnant with #2, we were genuinely afraid to go through it again.
DS#2 couldn't be more different. He's super chill, sleeps great, barely cries ever (usually just to tell us he's hungry or needs a poop change), and smiles all the time. I realize it might change as he grows, but for now we are totally enjoying this!
