Ever since we moved into a new motorhome, Leia has been very fussy and sensitive. I can't set her down or she starts crying. She's been getting very angry and swinging her arms everywhere. She actually seems to be throwing a lot of tantrums. If I take something away from her she screams her lungs out. She did this the other day at Target. I am sure the whole store heard her, but I didn't give the toy back to her. I let her cry because she needs to realize she can't have everything and anything whenever she wants. Normally in the mornings she's the happiest, but she gets fussy after about 30 minutes of waking.. I am not sure why she has been hypersensitive lately, except for that the move affected her more than I realized. The move has even affected me. It's like when we are in a new environment, our brains have to get used to that new environment and develop a new routine. I know that Leia is eating enough because I offer her breastmilk and solids often. She could be teething, but then again we have been thinking that for months. I just wish I knew how to help her through this phase she is in. I am not sure if I should comfort her every time because she is going through something or if she is just being demanding.
If any mothers have any similar stories about moves affecting infants please share! Also, I have a very active and alert baby. She constantly wants to be doing something and gets bored very easily. What kind of things do you do to keep your baby entertained? Leia gets bored with toys quickly, so we are always trying something new. She has been taking better naps since we moved, which is great. But she still needs to be rocked, nursed or taken on a walk to fall asleep. I sneak away once she falls asleep. I put the TV on for background noise because others noises seem to wake her very easily. If you have an active sensitive baby, feel free to share what you do.
