How are we all coping with our 8 month olds? Bc I’m struggling🫠 my little girl just seems frustrated all the time, can’t seem to keep her entertained for longer than a minute. Unsure if it’s teething, separation anxiety, or just general fussiness. Anyone had the same?

My baby is the exact same right now! he’s so fussy and angry, there’s no keeping him amused or entertained at all. It’s definitely teething for us though as he’s got so many coming through at once. Feeling your pain and praying for you. 😂💕

Have you tried baby wearing?

@Becca literally same!! I set her down with some toys and just looks up at me and gets angry until I pick her up, but even then she gets bored😂

@Michelle I haven’t, I was debating it for a while but never got a carrier, I wish I did tbh!!

@Natalie Thennn they’re angry at being held 😂 The only thing that distracts him for a while is putting him in our carrier and walking around the house for a bit. 🙈

@Becca it’s so hard to know what they want sometimes!🥲

When they’re teething they’re literally mini trolls, I feel it for them but it will pass! I think about all the things that have frustrated me with my son over the past 8 months and then think “wait when did that even stop”!? Then I feel better about the current situation because I know he’ll change it was the same for my eldest so many moments like this and then something would change. From my experience I think this teething stage is awful imagine being in pain and just can’t talk.

Ms Rachel on Netflix, her walker, snacks and taking her out in the buggy is how I get through the day at the mo!

Same here! We are out on walks all the time because she's a different baby outside 😆

My little boy is the same, our routine is all over the place ATM but I'm hoping it will settle soon 🤞

@Natalie could maybe get one still. Vinted have them second hand. I would suggest a sling library though. They are free and you can try slings and carriers and they show you how to wear them safely and correctly

@Maes this is such a good way of thinking about it thank you🥰

@Victoria same!! Routine has completely gone, she’s so unpredictable these days!
