    Are you breastfeeding her? Might pay to investigate if its a food intolerance to what your eating. My daughter is exactly the same and funnily enough I always put it down to her being fiesty but now that shes almost 2 I am starting to wonder. Anyway I am trying out an elimination diet called failsafe so fingers crossed but some people find just cutting out food additives, like preservatives, colours etc is enough.

    fussy baby

    Hi, I have the same problem, my 3 month old boy Curtis is very whingey. He seems to only have about 5 mins of happy time in the hour and a half that he is awake. It drives me crazy because I dont know what else he could possibly want so I have to carry him around and rock him etc. I know how you feel about not wanting to go out in public, I have to leave Curtis home with his dad while I go shopping and I am also the only one at mothers group with the baby who wont be quiet and well behaved, everyone elses baby is happy to sit on their lap and look around, while I'm trying to hold a struggling grizzly baby! I love it when he is in a good mood and wants to communicate with me, though at this stage of his life, and I feel guilty about saying this, I look forward to 6pm when its his bed time because I know I am going to get at least 4 hours to relax when he is asleep!
