Please help. I don't know what is with my baby. He is not my first at all bh. But he is always cranky, moody and upset. He almost never wants to go down amd play without coaxing, he kvetches and cries all the time. Bh his development seems great bli ayin hara. But he is always in a bad mood. Crying, kvetching, yelling. He doesn't seem uncomfortable or like something is physically bothering him. He gets lots of love and attention.
Did anyone have a baby like this? Did they grow out of it and become happier, less high maintenance?

My now 6 year old was a whiny, cranky, moany baby. All the time. Developmental
Stages (like learning how to walk or talk) helped. But until maybe age 2 that was her baseline. Now she’s not mOAny anymore bit she is intense: a deep thinker, very curious

He eats lots bh. Sleep is broken up but I think he gets enough. He was like this even when he slept the day away as a newborn

If his sleep is broken up he may not be getting all the parts of sleep.

Does he get at least one stretch of five hours of sleep?
My Dr is into that...

No, I don't think so. He sleeps about 11 hours at night but broken up. He wakes up many times throughout the night needing to be put back to sleep. We are having no luck sleep training him though we tried many things. Do you think that could be it?

My baby was like this until he started walking. Never ever happy cried literally all day... now he’s 18 months old and the cutest thing ever with a ton of energy. He loves to run and climb and was never happy before he could move.

I would take him off gluten for two weeks and see if he improves. Gluten often can make people feel uch even without specific symptoms. I don’t think there’s such a thing as a moody baby. Something is bothering him but it’s not apparent

Babies are people. Some people at baseline are happy flappy and some aren’t. With my baby knowing her now it suits her.

Thanks, I think you're right.
To the mother who suggested going off gluten - he was like this from around 3 months old. Way before he had food. He's very high maintenance, intense.

If he is cranky and sleep being broken up (wakes up often) take him to a pediatric gastroenterologist. He could have silent reflux without any outward symptoms.

OMG that sounds just like my daughter who had silent reflux.

It's funny because as a baby he did seem to have many signs of reflux but nothing strong enough to diagnose.
I will make an appointment at a GI. Thank you!
