Baby whisperer baby types

Hi all,
Done the baby whisperer quiz my Ds is a "Touchy baby" got 6 points on this but 5 on textbook and 5 on spirited. So a mixture. But think mainly he is a touchy baby.Which would explain his need for comfort.

Lucky you!!! Wonder if anyone else has a touchy baby BIO
mine is spirited/touchy bit of both on the sleeping qs too.
Textbook for waking up in moses in morning. He just coos and looks around hes so cute!!!
But he only does this first thing when he has a 5am feed and wakes at 8 not starving.

WEll mine got mainly textbook (10) with 6 for spirited but to be honest he is much more spirited than textbook when I have read the descriptions. I certainly would not describe him as predictable and easy to handle!!!

Care_bear- I have spent so long getting upset by comparing my lo to other peoples babies. You're doing nothing wrong, unfortunately some babies are just easier than others. I find it really hard when I look at friends babies who just drop off to sleep in their arms when they're tired whilst mine refuses to sleep unless swaddled in his moses basket(not very practical when you go out!)or the baby bjorn (but only if i'm moving). The meltdowns at the end of the day when he's super tired are also difficult to deal with. Sometimes I just wish we were a few months down the line and he could move about better (and so hopefully get less frustrated) and would need less sleep in the day so I didn't have constant battles over naps. Then I feel guilty as I should be enjoying every minute of him and don't get me wrong, he's brilliant but very very hard work..

I know i shouldnt compare but cant help it!! Definately sleep is the hardest.
He wont sleep in the day unless held but then he resists i try putting him down and he wakes.
Tried the letting him go to sleep by himself in the day but he just cries and cries and then gets so overtired.

He doesnt sleep in the pram only the sling. I dont like going out shopping on my own because he just cries.

Like your son he goes in2 melt dwn at the end of day. Been putting him to bed for 9.30pm for 2 nights he went 7.5 hrs without a bottle he still stired but went back off.
So i thought i would put him wn an hr earlier which worked but he woke 5 hrs later so fed him and he just would settle back dwn waking every so often.

At night i cuddle him till hes nearly asleep put him dwn swaddled and i hold the dummy in. If that fails i di Pick up method. He has to have the room pitch black to go off though.
Hope things will improve glad im not alone

I just did this and M comes out as an angel baby! Scored A's for most questions apart from a couple of B's. This is why Im too scared to have another baby as I will probably end up with a satan baby lol, surely cant be this lucky twice! x

Like Mrs Binks - my lo is hard work! BUT - has a fantastic little personality and is just constantly making me and OH laugh! He cannot go to sleep on his own though at all - it took me and OH an hour last night to get him to sleep - he is obviously tired but the minute we put him down he screams the place down!! He is also very easily bored of activities we do - we constantly have to chagne game/toy etc.

I know what you mean care bear about trying not to but comparing your child to someone elses. I met up with someone from my antenatal class the other day and she was going on and on about how she had an 8 hour labour, no complications just gas and air and that her boy had sleep through from 6 weeks - and then I look at me and it was a 3 day labour with emcs and a baby who sometimes only goes 3 hours at night lol! But on the flip side - her little boy wasn't doing alot of things Logan is like chatting away to us all the time. I think you have to look at it that way.

Logan sounds abit like Daniel. Although i cant complain on the labour front only 5 hrs.
My lo was 4 weeks early and was due in nov so they told me to expect him to be slightly behind but hes
Smiling,cooing ,laughing a little and holds his head up really well. He doesnt know how to grab things yet and hasnt much interest in toys just stares at things . Although i know what u mean he makes me laugh alot because hes got such an old face expresion wise. lol
Put him in his jumperoo which he got yesterday and he just stares at the blue frog his face is a picture.

We're going to try putting our jumperoo up at the weekend and put him in it. I also ordered a summer infant 3 stage seat which should arrive today and will mean he can sit up without us constantly having to hold him

I decided not to do this - I knew that if I came out with a "grumpy" baby I would be distraught but that even if she was completely "angel" I wouldn't be happy cos I would worry every time she cried that I had broken her somehow!! I am so neurotic :lol:

Also I think the vast majority of babies are a mix of most types, depending on the situation, time of day, how tired they are.......

I know what you mean about comparing babies - it can be a deadly game!!

Mine is quite i miss mash but on reading what the different types mean i can put Biba down to a spirited baby - i too am really struggling with the end of day melt downs, we are going to try and instil a bath boob bed routine starting tonight as Biba has only just started to appear to enjoy her baths. Will have to see how she gets on - i think i have been massively underestimating the amount of stuff it takes to overstimulate her.

Yes im doing the 3 b's and my touchy baby is turning in2 an angel baby at night.
We have started putting the baby bath downstairs next to heater and he is enjoying bath times now.
I even gave him a massage which he wouldnt of etertained before.
Think he was scared of the big bath and i made the transition too quickly. He has only just in the last few weeks started to enjoy bath time.

Im just giving him all the love he needs in the day. He hates being out dwn. So im wearing a sling and i can see an improvement in him already alot more content.
I just dont let him sleep after 6pm and he goes to bed at 9pm. I feed him at 7pm then bath half an hr later to let it go dwn. Then feed again and bed for 9pm.He goes in his moses straight away and sleeps 5.5hrs minimum and 8 hrs last night. yay
