My mum said we have a good baby because my LO (2 weeks old) doesn’t cry often (we do get difficult days - maybe every 2 or 3 days she will have a bad evening or a bad afternoon where she’s just crying / fussing and we can’t work her out), but if we average it out, she has more good days than bad. I just wondered ...
