Why does my 2 1/2 month old scare so easily?
My son is almost 3 months old and he scares extremely easily. I also have a 3 year old and she was never like that as an infant. My son will hold his fists so tight to his chest and scream like ah.. ah.. ah.. ah.. type of cry with his eye extremely wide. When I got to change his clothes or sometimes even change his diaper he will do this. There are times where he won't sit in his bouncer or definitely the swing he will sit there and scream. I don't understand why he is more scared than most babies get at this age. I know things are still fairly new to my baby but it seems everything is more scary to him than it should be. Can anyone help me understand?
I don't want any critical answers just answers that will help explain why my son does this. Once a baby is born yes they circumcised them but the way babies are the tend to forget that instance. Babies don't feel anything after it heels which is about 2 weeks after it is done. Since my son is almost 3 months old him being scared so easily has nothing to do with him being circumcised. If your not going to put anything nice or helpful than do NOT respond to my question.

Every baby is different some get startled alot easier and some are cool beans about it all. Mine were all different as well. I would just try being slower with how you move him our daughter was like that too and we just kind of spread things out so she didnt get so scared of things.
He might also have a sore tummy or even just want to be held moreso than your other baby did too and you could look into a sling or something. Its normal though for him to be startled by things hes still pretty little and everything is big and loud, just talk to him in a low voice while you change him and try some kangaroo care to help calm him when he needs it.....Of course if you think its abnormal mention it to the doctor but after 4 children ive learnt that each one comes with a different set of rules.
Good Luck!
