AM I THE ONLY ONE? my first was really laid back and slept through the night at a really young age.. my second, also a boy is a laid back kid most of the time, but not as much. he has no nap schedule.. sometimes he only sleeps for like 20 minutes after crying for 5. He always wants to be held, and he spits up tons all the time, so im thinking hes got some ingegestion... and hes exclusivly breast fed.. anyone have any sugestions or would like to tell their story.... I feel like im th eonly one with a acrying baby and a 2 year old who is right in middle of the terrible two'sssssss

HELP!

My son was the crankiest baby. He always wanted to be held. I later found out when he was almost 2 that he actually all along had a severe dairy allergy. Now that he doesn't have or is near any dairy he is so much better, not perfect because nows he's in his terrible 2's and throws lots of tantrums. B"H my 1 year old is pretty good but I think my 2 year old is such a nadful I am so exhausted from him. My 2 boys really really keep my on my toes too.

I know of a few babies that cried alot... the parents found out that their baby had birth trauma. There are actually places that help the baby get out of his birth trauma. One mother told me that the MINUTe they left the place her baby barely cried!!! she couldnt believe it because the first 5 months of his life he cried ALL the time. People say this birth trauma thing happens to a lot of babies.

First of all ask your doctor about acid reflux. Spitting up and crying all the time usually fits the description. Also, there is a great book called 'Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child' by Marc Weissbluth that I think you should read, if you can find the time!

My ds was also like that, no schedule at all until 8 months. I would second the book 'healthy sleep habits, happy child. Haven't read the whole book but bits of it made sense.
