It's just like a never ending cycle
I could have written this, my boy is 9 weeks and I feel exactly the same x
My little boy was like this until the last few months (he’s just turned 1). Up until him being 7-8 months he constantly needed attention and fussing over, even as a newborn he couldn’t just lay down and observe the world around him, he needed some kind of sensory input (usually from me). He was always the baby at classes who would be grumpy and just never seemed happy no matter what we did! I love him to bits but it was exhausting and it genuinely made me quite miserable. In the last few months he’s learnt how to crawl and is confidently pulling himself up and cruising the furniture so he can get himself where he wants. There’s little to no whining/crying from him now unless there’s genuinely something wrong. It does get better I promise but I know how low it can make you feel and how never-ending it feels like too!

Thanks there's some hope in me that it will get better it's just so drainning
You’re not alone. This is me right now and my baby is around same age as yours. So you’re not alone in your feelings.
