http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/miamiacouture/30187 My little 7 month old has cried from the moment she entered the womb and has'nt really stopped since.... she is the most adorable little person and such a charmer, but when she's mad, watch out!&nbsp; There is no in between with her, She's ANGRY or HAPPY, that's it! So it was no surprise that she did'nt stop screaming when we left the hospital ( i was praying for a small miracle, as she was the loudest baby in the there), she continued to scream, non stop until she hit about 6 months old and then it started to die down a bit.&nbsp; The worst was in the car!&nbsp; She would scream from point A to point B, no matter what we did.&nbsp; So on many trips i would have to stop the car and get out and hold her for a few minutes and then continue on our way.&nbsp; All she wanted was to be close to me and she was fine. Bedtime is the same way, i lay her down and for about the first hour, she wakes up every five minutes wanting to breastfeed and be held.&nbsp; After about the 10th time of doing this it starts to get a bit frustrating and as i was standing, holding her one night, breastfeeding, i realized that i have no reason to be frustrated!&nbsp; I am so fortunate to have a baby that wants to be loved!&nbsp; This special time goes by so fast and i am lucky enough, that i get to hug her and love her even when she's trying to sleep at night.&nbsp; From that day (my only frustrating experience with her) i have looked at her crying as a oppurtunity to give love and for her to receive it.&nbsp; Having a colicky or &quot;high needs&quot; baby as i like to call it, has been a blessing not a burden.&nbsp; Many people asked me 'how on earth can you handle that?&quot; and my reply is 'handle what?&quot; She may sound like i am pinching her when she cries (she gets soooo angry, from the very first cry) but she just wants a hug, a love, a cuddle and i am so fortunate that i am the one that gets to be the giver of this!&nbsp; This perspective helped me through many tear filled nights, pacing the floor, wondering if something was horribly wrong with my baby.&nbsp; But as i learned, it was the best OPPURTUNITY i was ever given.

I rocked both my girls to sleep and we were co-sleepers too. I know that's not everyone's style but I loved it and savoured it because I knew it wouldn't last forever.</p> <br /> http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/miamiacouture/30187/#c_275908 http://www.raisingbakersfield.com/home/Blog/miamiacouture/30187/#c_275908 <p>What a great attitude.
