Baby with a Temper

Anyone else feel like you have a baby who has a temper already? My little boy is 3 months old and I feel like he already has temper tantrums whenever he doesn't like something. It's bloody miserable sometimes, cries at almost everything. He had colic up until about 8 weeks and I thought that was hard but it just seems like he's never happy. He hates his car seat, wants to be sat upright or standing (supported by us) even though he can't support himself yet and if for whatever reason we can do this he screams. It's not even a grumbly cry, it's a red face, hold his breath cry. I just feel so fed up sometimes, like nothing I do is enough 😔

At this age I think you can safely say it’s not character but it’s communication attempts. Maybe baby has reflux or something that is making them Uncomfortable so doesn’t like to be lay flat? I know it’s hard and you need to remember you are doing your best and that IS good enough, Nothing lasts forever, baby loves you and just needs to communicate something, you’ll figure it out hang in there xx

I'd say my baby has a personality, but if your baby is unhappy I guess they are uncomfortable be it colic, reflux or just learning more new things. I'm sure it will pass x

Personality at 3 months yes most definitely I was meaning no baby that young is purposely being a pain no matter how purposeful it seems 🙂

It's definitely more fussiness than colic or reflux as that's what we've been dealing with for the first two months and we've got him on thicker milk and a good routine with baby massages etc. The cry from being in pain differs from the screaming he does now. It's been a hard week and I think sometimes it can all get on top of you. It's just when you try so hard and nothing seems to make it better it's difficult to not be self critical. He doesn't like being put down, he's very hard to please with toys, he gets bored extremely easy and I know that that is mostly to do with his age than anything but he hates his jungle gym, hates tummy time. He wants to be in my arms all day long but hates the two carriers I have. If we sit down he's got to be sitting up or standing on my knees. God forbid I put him down with toys so I can get anything done or even go for a pee. It just feels like my days are full of trying to prevent my baby from crying and spending the majority of the day listening to him cry 🤦‍♀️
