XP: Moms with high needs babies/toddlers a ?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
On my blog, I've decided to start a series of post on high needs babies/toddlers. I'm going to include my experience, tips, etc about a bunch of topics.

So far I want to write on sleep, colic, reflux, entertaining, baby wearing, and disciplining. As high needs experts, what else should I write about? Anything you would like to see? 

Also are there any other bloggers here that may want to guest post, or co-sponsor the series? I would like to have a couple perspectives if possible.

    Information about temperament.  It took a long time before I accepted that Finn's personality is not my fault. 

    ETA:  The importance of having help.  I would not have survived if I could not have handed Finn off to DH some evenings when he came home from work and just left for awhile.  My mom has also been extremely helpful and understands because my sister was pretty high maintenance as a baby.

    Also, suggestions to reach out online and find other moms who are going through the same thing.  My IRL friends tended to not get at all what I was going through, but I felt like I could vent without judgement on my birth month board on The Bump.

    Thanks! Great suggestions. It took me a long time to learn that it's wasn't me that was doing something wrong too. The IRL judging is exactly why I want to do this series. I feel like most people have no clue and just think we're being dramatic.

    Feeding issues - Bottle, Breast, Transition to Solids, etc. is something else I can think of.
