Anyone else have a grumpy baby?

Question

Our baby girl is 3 months old. She literally is always upset, always crying, always fussy. All her needs are met, we play, we feed, we sleep etc. It's not her formula, it's not constipation, it's literally for *no reason*. The only thing that SOMETIMES gets her to stop is to make her take a nap (which she will do but fights it and always has) or watch Hey Bear on YouTube 😅 is it just us? Does she hate life that much? Like why is she always cranky and grumpy nonstop? The doctor chalked it up to colic in the early weeks but she's now over 3 months old and she's the exact same...... it's not a sleep or nap issue IMO so she's literally crying just because?

Answer

Your little one might be entering a mental leap this is the longest one of all the leaps. My little girl just started doing all of that too though she is so fussy and sometimes I can’t get her to calm down. Other times she so clingy to me if I put her down even if I’m playing with her on her mat or something she’s so upset.

Answer

Yep. My little guy seems to be getting worse as the 3 month mark approaches. He has colic and reflux. His meds helped for a while but now they seem to be not helping even though we just upped his dose. He hates the car, cries everywhere we go. Only loves the moby wrap, nursing, and occasionally his floor seat. Ugh. I feel you. Hang in there it has to get better. ❤️

My daughter isn’t like this, but my son was (now almost 3 years old). He cried pretty nonstop for about 4 or 5 months, idk anymore it’s all a blur 😂 he was only happy if we were walking outside quickly with him in the baby carrier on my chest, or if he was nursing. And he would fall asleep latched to my chest, but if he unlatched, he would wake up and cry. He had to stay latched to sleep happily. He did have a dairy and a soy allergy, which I stopped eating. But it didn’t really help. He was just a grumpy baby. It did pass, and now he is so happy and smiley and loves to play and laugh. BUT, he is still determined, head strong and doesn’t like to take no for an answer (we try to only use positive words to describe his tendencies lol). He is a pretty easy toddler, and SUUUUPER smart. Like he’s starting to read already smart! So hang in there. I say the grumpiest babies are the smartest babies, because they know they could be getting more than what you’re giving 😂😂 it is really exhausting and hard, I remember. But hang in there, it will get easier!

my friend's son always cry too then one time they brought him to her friend's house no crying baby. i saw his video hes not screaming he was like nonstop like murmuring...my friend said thats his level one lol.. maybe they just get bored.

Answer

I know my little guy seems to get bored easily if left in one spot. He likes to be up and moving around and likes being able to see what's going around him. If we're holding him and he can't look out into the room he'll fuss at us.
