What is your baby's temperament?

bwm2bmw · October 2009

And when did you start to notice it/see it develop? The first few weeks she slept most of the day and was so peaceful while doing it. She'd fuss a little at night but no biggie. Now it seems like when she is awake during the day she's unhappy, apparently awake=crying (or all out wailing). I think I have a bit of a fussy/difficult baby on my hands =( or is it too soon to tell?

Give it time. She's still getting used to her new world!

That is normal. It takes babies a few months to get adjusted to this new world. My DD#1 had colic and was fussy for the first 3 months. DD#2 is pretty happy except in her car seat. Then she fusses.

I have a very laid back little guy who rarely cries. He was pretty calm when I was still pregnant so I was expecting a relaxed baby, and got one.

My baby only cries when he is hungry and has a little witching (fussy) hour between 6-7:30. That is when we start bedtime.

Otherwise, when he is awake, he is super laid back, easy going and generally happy/smiley . I am so happy b/c I know that some people aren't as lucky. I don't know what I would do with a constantly fussy baby so props to you ladies that handle it so well. And, HUGS!

Our baby is super easygoing. He cries only when he needs something (though sometimes it takes a while to figure out what that something is).

In fact, I'm scared to have another one... if I'm this tired with an easygoing baby, I would probably be dead with a colicky one!! Kudos to moms who manage it.
