[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your baby might not be neuro-typical (NT).

Your baby might be an HSP (highly sensitive person)--there are individuals who are HSP in every kind of social animal that has been studied about this; the group needs HSP individuals to survive (there are also Low SP individuals in every group as well).  HSP indivduals have a fine-tuned or intensified senses.  Pre-industrializtion, they helped the group because they are the first to detect the predator or prey, recognize changes in the weather, tell that the food is spoiled or poisoned etc.  In modern life, it's hard for them because clothes can be itchy, sounds too loud, etc.

My now 18 y.o. is an HSP and a bit neuro-diverse (not NT, so SN--special needs) and is headed to a top 10 college in the fall (I'm trying to say, she's thriving).  But raising her was really tough, and it started out this way.  I aged so much that first year, from exhaustion.

I also have an NT kid and the difference between NT kid and SN kid is like raising a dog and a dolphin.  To continue the analogy, the first step is recognizing you have a dolphin, not a dog, and treating accordingly.  Also, fyi, not getting advice from dog parents. Dog parents will not understand why your little dolphin won't do what their dogs can do so easily, and will blame your parenting.  But both types can perform--it's just recognizing what you have, and finding the right environment.

I'd reach out to your pediatrician and discuss it, OP.  The issue isn't your wife complaining.  The issue is that you have a high-maintenance baby and you both need some support and coping strategies.[/quote]

OP here. My baby doesn’t have this. He is fine. The issue is my wife made him this way. He would be a totally different baby if my wife didn’t practice attachment parenting. [/quote]
