High needs baby - tell me I’m not alone?!

I just read about high needs baby and Dr Sears theory of them. Finally realized my baby is one of them and I’m not insane when I see my friend’s babies all seems so easy to handle in comparison! I was still wondering what I was doing wrong in comparison to them! It all makes sense now although it just means I’m resigned to my fate - lol! Tell me parents that I’m not alone - who else has a high needs baby and how did you manage to maintain your sanity?

Every child is different. My #1 was and is a lot more difficult to handle than my #2. Need a good support system around you. I work outside and he goes to full day childcare since he was 19mths, so I don't spend the whole day with him. Schedule me/couple time as well.

Happen to see you post and my baby is one of them. Wonder if baby gets better when they grow older?

I've got a 13weeks high needs baby. 🥲 just popping by to say you're not alone lol
