My dd is now 6mo (wasn't colicky, but definitely not the easiest baby.) It's my first dc and find myself wondering...when does it get easier? She is still cranky a lot of the time. She's happy right after she eats and for a little while afterwards, but then it's a constant battle to keep her happy. Is this normal? Is it just her personality? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I found both my dcs underwent sort of "personality changes" when they learned to crawl a/o walk -- they both were so much happier when they were more mobile! (tho db#2 is generally an easy baby anyway). OTOH, my dc#1 is now really difficult -- she's almost 5 -- so it could just be personality. But (maybe) you'll get better at dealing with it as times passes. GL [ Reply | More
