My 10 Must Haves for Succeeding with a High Need Baby

1. Two loving arms to rock and hold that baby.
2. A big heart to love he/she unconditionally.
3. Tons of patience
4. An unconditionally loving support system.
5. The recognition that this is hard, and that is okay.
6. A breakthrough point where you finally realize you are succeeding and not fumbling through.
7. A rocking chair, sling, swing, or the muscles to rock the baby for hours.
8. The understanding that you will do whatever it takes to make your baby content regardless of what others say about your methods. 
9. Enough self esteem to shrug of judgemental comments and those ridiculous theories of what you did wrong.  
10. Identification of the line you will not cross after hours of searching the internet for answers that are not there.
