Do intense babies ever chill out?!

I love my 10mo so much but she is something else. Shes almost walking, crawling and cruising and is just absolutely non stop unless I’m holding her (literally restraining her is the only way to stop her) and she has such an intense personality. She will scream if she doesn’t get what she wants or if I stop her doing something that could hurt her. I’ve just had to eat my lunch holding her at bay while she screams because I wouldn’t share it (it’s something she can’t eat, she’s already eaten). She’s been full on from birth with colic and CMPA and not sleeping etc so I shouldn’t really be surprised that she’s like this now. I just want it to get easier though.

It’s just relentless at the moment and she genuinely doesn’t seem happy very often. I’m really not enjoying her personality as it’s coming out and I feel awful for admitting that.

Did anyone else have an intense baby who turned into a chilled child or am I stuck with a high maintenance daughter for life?!

Baby has a bad cold/viral infection - is this normal?

10mo baby had a temperature on Friday/Saturday last week which led to a snotty nose and unhappy baby for a few days. All normal.

However it just feels like it’s getting worse not better. Fever is gone but she’s got an awful cough (started Thursday), slightly off her food and milk and is sooo snotty. Today (Saturday) she’s had loads of little naps and is basically crying when she’s awake. No fever and the doctor yesterday was happy the cough wasn’t on her chest but this just feels really rough. She’s so miserable.

She’s had colds before but nothing like this!
