We have met many high need babies over the years. Based on this "gallery" we have compiled the following profile of high need babies: intense, hyperactive, draining, feeds frequently, demanding, awakens frequently, unsatisfied, unpredictable, super-sensitive, can't put baby down, not a self-soother, and separation sensitive. All babies will show some of these features some of the time, and these features are descriptive only. ... each of these personality traits has its blessings and its trials. These personality traits should not be judged as "good" or "bad." They are just differences between babies, but these differences do make high need babies challenging to parent. 1, record 2, English, - high%2Dneed%20baby
