High-Need Babies

     I recently read an article about babies, and remembered a day when my first baby Shoshana was about two weeks old.  It was nine o'clock at night and I had had such a full day looking after her - she was in need of being held almost ALL the time - that I was still in my dressing gown from that morning, and was in the process of making supper, when an unfortunate salesperson happened to come on the telephone line and tried to sell me educational insurance for my child whilst I was looking after the baby and burning the liver and bacon.  I was not in a happy mood and told them so.  Now, looking back it makes me laugh!
