I love my son. My son loves me. So what is the problem? He only loves me. He wants to be held 24/7...by me. He wants to sleep on top of my chest at night. Not next to me, not in his bassinet...ON me. He wants to nurse every 2 hours around the clock. This does not jive well with getting kids to soccer practice, accomplishing housework, or doing any type of shopping or necessary outings. I am keeping my cool by reminding myself to savor his babyhood because I won't have grandchildren for a long time.
Boy diapers are more complicated to change than girl diapers. There is so much more area to clean. I'm accustomed to a quick and easy front to back swipe. Now, it's like a military operation to get everything clean without getting urine in one or both of our faces.
So is it just X or are boy babies more needy in general?

they're all like that. :) at least both of mine have been. they are still major cuddlers, though, so it's not all bad. it's all physical with them, though. right up to the husband stage . . . :)
Yeah, I would agree with leslie. It continues on up through the husband stage.
I am going to say my girl babies were more needy. Thank goodness I had so much help in the form of older siblings. As children, the boys are needier, and as teens, I am learning, the girls are needier.
I figured it must be men in general needing a lot of physical attention. Must be biological.
