Mommy to a fussy/high needs baby girl

Hi All

Just joined the site which I am so happy to have found! My little girl is just over 5 months old and I would define her as high needs. She needs constant entertainment, changes of scenery etc. Some weeks I just feel like I can't carry on and feel so bad. I just wasn't expecting having a baby to be this hard - may be it's not if they are not high needs?

I try to attend the normal parent and baby groups etc. but her attention span is so short it is always a struggle! I normally come away feeling bad as it is always my baby that is fussy and bored! I hope people don't think that I am a bad mom - I am doing everything I can, but it's so hard to keep her happy and entertained for long periods of time. I am starting to think about not going to these groups anymore as it is so hard for me as every week I look like I can't keep my baby happy etc. but I want her to have the interaction with other babies.

Her one saving grace is tha she does sleep at night - probably because she is exhaused from wanting to do so much during the day.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and introduce myself
