    You are not alone. My DD was very fussy and so is DS, he is 6 weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I think my DD was better around 3-4 months. Hopefully they will grow out of it. Some babies are just fussy.

    You are not alone. 12 week old DS does not want to be put down to nap, will not tolerate the car seat unless it's in a constantly moving car or stroller and is only happy for a short time when awake and then quickly becomes cranky. Hang in there. It will get better.

    Mine is like this, too.  Pedi said it will likely get better around 3 months.  I hope so!

    Well, my DD threw a sh*t fit in his office THE WHOLE TIME and I explained to him that I was having trouble with her because she was eating ALL THE TIME.  I told him that she nursed for an hour one day and then was hungry RIGHT after that.  He told me that she's not hungry-- she just wants to suck and that is what is soothing her.  He recommended a pacifier for her, but he said that she is what is considered a "fussy or high strung baby."  He said it should get better around 3 months, but I need to feed on a schedule or she will gain weight like crazy.  I got a pacifier after the visit and it made it so much better!  THANK the LORD!
