I have been worrying a lot about my daughter lately. She was suspected of having a metabolic disorder but further testing has indicated she most likely does not have one. Anyway, the point is that I have been worrying more than usual and wondering if her behavior is "normal" because of that experience. Here's the situation:
She has always been a fussy baby. She became MUCH happier when she gained some mobility. She is 11 months old. She still cries a lot. I mean a lot. There is usually a reason, such as she wants to crawl up the stairs but there is a gate in her way. Or a door is closed and she wants on the other side. She also cries sometimes when she is in her carseat. She will arch so as to make it hard to strap her in if she doesnt want to go in. She will not sit still for a diaper change and often cries. If I take something away from her (because its a choking hazard for example) she screams and cries.
Her reactions are so intense. Sometimes I can't handle the whining and crying. Its not all the time like when she was younger but its still hard.
WIll she outgrow this? Is this normal? Have you all had similar experiences with your LOs?
TIA!!
