I am doing it third time around and still feel the same as you! All three of them are so different. With dd1 I could work out what she wanted. Dd2 had colic so it was tricker, she ended up with a dummy for when she was really bad, other times she didn't want it. Both dh and I found it hard as she took a long time to settle at night and we couldn't take her out as she just screamed.
With ds he is obsessed with his dummy, and I seem to take a bit to work out what he wants. He has mild colic,he settles a bit easier than dd2 did.
You would think by now I would have it all worked out.
Funny you should say that blackrose - I think DD2 has colic which is why I think that I've doubted that I can read her signs. Penny dropped tonight that maybe she has colic that's why I'm confused because nothing I do seems to help. I too resorted to the dummy for the first time tonight which I'm not rapt about but DP is working night shifts this week so it's just me and the girls so something had to give.
