My baby boy is 10 weeks old. He has been fussy since he was born. A bit of colic which has almost gone away, yet he still has his super grouchy fussy days. It's never predictable.
He is also a baby who, if you lay him down to nap, he may stay asleep for five to ten minutes. He, since birth, has preferred to sleep in someone's arms. I have gotten him to take a few naps out of arms, but that's it. Because of this I wear him in his Moby Wrap quite often. It's how he gets his longest periods of rest.
At night, he only wakes to nurse every 3 or 4 hours. And, he does not fully wake up at night at all. He's been great about nighttime.
Now, because my Mom, Dad, the baby's Dad, other people, etc. cannot calm my son, she thinks it's because he's spoiled. She says I carry him around too much, and that I should get him on a "schedule". She says he is a spoiled, grouchy baby. She tells me I need to let him cry. And, she constantly questions me about when he'll be different...
