Anyone else?

Anyone else got a baby who spends the day doing nothing but whinging and crying? I love her and want to just make her happy. She's fed, she has naps, nappy changed when needed. She has lots of toys and stimulation. I take her for walks. The only time in the day she is calm and happy is for a half hour in the morning after we wake up, but from them on it's just non stop whinging all day long no matter what I do and if her needs are met. When dad comes home she is marginally happier but still whinging. She's by far the worst when it's just me at home and it can be hard to not take it personally. I just want to know why she's so miserable all the time. This has been going on for a long time now.

Yes... literally all day whining. I think it might be frustration because he's desperate to be on the move but can't figure it out. Also possibly teething

Yeah my little boy can be like this. I think it is frustration because he's so ready to crawl around and can't yet. His jumperoo buys me time here and there and taking him out in the car or for walks. Giving him Calpol worked last night so I think it's teething as well but I can't see any teeth so it feels like we're stuck on teething for a while!

How old is your lo? When mine hit 5 months he was like this all the time and it was very draining! But when he got closer to 6 months it stopped and he’s much happier now. At first I thought it was related to his constipation but it seems to be a normal developmental thing It does go away don’t worry🥺I found keeping him constantly occupied and changing activities more than I usually would helped x

Do you not go anywhere other than on walks? Maybe more stimulation would be worth a try if that is the case, I know it's easier said than done for some people but I find if I go out it's better

Yes same; it’s been this way since 4 months, he is just so miserable no matter what we do and I do a lot with him - a class everyday, loads of walking in pram and carrier, lots of playing, jumperoo, baths. Nothing helps

@Louise She is 5 and a bit months. Will be 6 months on the 25th. She's been cranky, well basically forever, but especially since around 4 months.

I just downloaded the wonder weeks app. Mine is about the same age as yours and very fussy also. After putting in his age it suggested he's in the fussy phase of leap 5....so perhaps yours is too! Xx
