Fidgety and fussy baby

Anyone else got a baby who does not stop moving, fidgetting fussing whinging?? My little boy is 7 months now and he's been like this since he was born, just a lot more as he got older since he can move more. It's doing my head in, he does not stay still when I feed him, he's nearly on the floor by the time he's finished since he shuffles himself that much. I have tried changing positions but that makes zero difference. He does play with his toys, but even then also just doesn't stop, he cannot sit still!! I can't put him down that much as he will just start whining. On a good day I could for a little bit. I have to put the TV on to distract him, that doesn't always work though. He will not sit in the high chair for long, even when I feed him food. Have I done this to him?? Am I doing something wrong?? Is there any other baby like this out there??? Will he ever just chill out and play and eat and feed calmly??

Mine were both very active. They also had gas/ reflux and were uncomfortable laying. I don't think at 7 months they're developed enough to stay still much :) it's a lot busier but mine didn't relax until about 2.5 years. Maybe ask the pediatrician about gas- may be more comfy upright or held

No you havnt done anything lass! I’m in the exact same position. My baby is just over 7 months and he is like this. Even when we come to bed and I try to settle him he just kicks and laughs and throws his arms around. Mines definitely a FOMO baby lol so when I try and feed him it has to be pretty quiet and no distractions otherwise he’s more interested in what’s going on. We co sleep so that helps him settle over night. I have every faith they’ll grow out of it. I think it’s that stage where they have all the energy but unable to move independently yet. Won’t be long before they’ll be running around like mad ones then being wiped out and sleeping (I bloody hope) lol xx

My boy is 8 months and he is like this!!! He’s all over the place when he’s on the floor, he’s all over me when I have him with me on the couch or playing with him! Just rolling around everywere!! When I put him up for naps and when he goes to bed he’s all over the cot doing laps around it by rolling around everywere 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ you haven’t done anything ❤️ He has energy 😂😂😂
