My 9 month old is very needy.

Tonight I took her to my cousins wedding reception. She was invited and she was welcomed.

She sat in a highchair for about 5 mins, cried if I sat down with her (unless I was feeding her) cried if anyone talked to her and refused to sit in her stroller seat. She wanted to be held, carried and bounced. She did let my aunt hold her for about 20 mins.

I know babies are hard work but is it like this for everyone? Do some babies just go and hang out at a restaurant and let their moms have a min to eat?

My mum cut up my meal so I could eat while holding her on my lap. I actually asked my mother how anyone goes out with a baby. She said not all Babies are like mine.

I'd say it was teething or something but she has been exactly like this from the day she was born.
