What kinda baby were you?

Colicky

Pretty average. Reached all milestones at average stages. Even a professional wouldn't have suspected AS or anything else at all, until I was at least 4 years old.

I've been told I was a very quiet baby. I didn't cry a lot. I spent most of my time as a baby with my grandparents and not my mom and dad so I don't really know too much.

Pretty loud, also liked to stare a lot.

Apparently, I was alert, I cried a lot, and I looked either like a baby monkey, or a baby pit bull.

Sociable, quiet, barely cried, got sick a lot and my development declined when I started to get sick a lot. I crawled a little early (four months?) but walked a little late (14 months, it said 15 months in my medical record but my mom said 14 months). I also teased. I also smiled. My dad could even take me to work and it wasn't a problem but then he had to quit taking me because I became a distraction. Everyone loves babies and plus I was walking around in my walker and bumping into things. I seemed to have kept myself occupied unless I was getting attention from the adults intentionally. I didn't ask my dad for that detail.

Tiny. I was really, really tiny and called "peanut" in the hospital. Aside from that, I was quiet but apparently ultra-inquisitive. I got into everything and explored everywhere.

All I know, according to what my mother told me, is that it was hard to get me off to sleep.

I never cried apparently, which you'd think would have been a red-flag but my mum says I was happy enough, just "in my own little world".

When I was a little older, she says you could see a thought process of "what's the point?" when it came to crying or complaining. If I would hurt myself or if something bad happened, there was a moment where I would about it, and then decide not to cry. So it's possible I was nihilistic even as a baby

I was tiny too, the smallest baby in the ward. I was a preemie by two weeks.

A week and a half, but close enough.

I was supposed to be born in early November, I ended up born in late October instead. Also my dad is short at 5'7", and while my mom is an average female 5'5" her mother was 5'1". So there's genetic tininess too. I grew up into a 5'6"... well, I was born intersex and identify as genderfluid, but I'm girl-preferred, so I halfway escaped it. I'm short presenting as male though, which is almost half the time.

Very premature by 32 weeks, with 26 mo body weight as a baby; I was critically ill even before being born. After, I had general developmentally delays, limited babbling, stared as eye contact.

Wait, my cousin was the one who cried, I was the troublesome one that grabbed things that I shouldn't have and went places that I shouldn't have. Lol

According to what my mother said, I hardly ever cried, I was very curious about insects, I was troublesome and moved around a lot. Apparently, I almost gave my mother a heart attack a few times because I crawled to dangerous places (like the edge of the stairs), and I used to toss stuff into the fireplace.

Omg, me too! ^.^

I was exceptionally small and had to stay in the hospital for months after my birth. I cried a lot, and didn't really start speaking until I was three; I used sounds to communicate.
