Ehhh I work with kids. Babies are different. You can get one baby that is an absolute dream to look after, easy to settle, eats well, rarely cries, then the next baby along in that exact same family - screams bloody murder at the slightest little thing, won't sleep, fusses when they eat, insists on being held, etc etc.
Once medical reasons for child #2's behaviours are ruled out, that's put down to temperament. IE child #1 has an 'easy' temperament and child #2 has a 'difficult' temperament.
That's not to say that child #1 will be a ray of sunshine and child #2 will be a grumpy cunt their whole lives, just that child #1 will be more predispositioned to adjust well to situations etc.
Do you think you are born with it?
