Many babies are more demanding and fussy in the initial months after birth. It is because they are in a different environment and are learning to communicate in new ways (12). However, as they grow, they become more manageable. The exact age when babies become easier to manage differs from child to child. It becomes easier for some high need babies after a few months, while for others, it may take a year or more. To help your child calm down, you may hold them in your arms, make them listen to a calming sound, and avoid overstimulation (13). If you feel concerned, talk to a doctor to check their physical health.
