big baby
Overly sensitive adult
Someone who complains, cries, or overreacts to minor problems—behaving like an infant despite being old enough to know better.
The phrase is dismissive and mocking: Don't be such a big baby, it's just a paper cut.
He's a big baby about getting shots.
The "big" emphasizes the contrast between physical size and emotional immaturity.
