So recently DS has started acting really babyish (think refusing to speak properly, whinging constantly, wanting to be carried all the time, asking me to feed him etc.) any one had experience of this?

I'm doing my best to ignore and carry on as usual but it is driving me to distraction!

Have there been any changes to his routine, or threats to his 'little world' that might be unsettling him?

Obviously, children go through many 'stages' on the way to growing up; this may just be one stage.

Try 'acting babyish' back yourself, and see how he likes it!

Thanks Ferguson, no major changes, although I've gone from 3 to 4 days at work recently it hasn't affected his routine as such so I don't that's upset him, so hard to tell what 'matters' to Turk at that age though!

May try acting babyish back, but it won't come naturally to me so may at least confuse him into changing guys behaviour
