My daughter is 10 months old, and I feel like I’m still barely surviving because she’s just so hard.
She hates: the carseat, going on walks, being in the stroller, being put down, getting her diaper changed, going to the store (unless I’m holding her the whole time), when I shower, being around groups of people, men, and most of all sleeping.
She still wakes up 2-3x/night to feed, and every single nap/bedtime is a battle where my sanity is tested. I have a 4yo son, and he was pretty chill baby, was just happy to be around me and observe whatever I was doing. But the only time my daughter is happy is if I’m holding her and actively entertaining her. All of my friends said this would pass within a few months, or would get better by exposing her frequently to the things she hates , but it hasn’t gotten better. I feel like I can never get anything done and can’t go out to do anything that used to be enjoyable because it all just sucks now. Sorry to have a poor me pity party lol but I just don’t know where to go from here. I got put on antidepressants this week by my OBGYN, so I hope that will hep with my mentality… But I’m also looking for advice on what to do or how much longer this might go on with my daughter, if any of you have had similar experiences. Thanks!!
