Hi just wondering if anyone can help or advise. My little boy has just turned 2 and has always been a handful and has a temper. Yet the last month or so he started to settle he became happy most of the day and would play happily in the house. he had patience and was learning how to walk holding our hand etc..bliss :) yet in the last 2 weeks he has changed dramatically crying and whining and tantruming all day every 5 min he chanhes from happy to loudly upset he is luke jekyll and hyde all day long. When out he can turn on the charm then when we leave somrwhere he starts again about everything !!! He hasnt really eaten in weeks and just wants milk and cheese he is tired all the time yet gets lots of sleep day and night. Im at my wits end nothing is making him happy i thought he might feel unwell yet his temp is normal any ideas. Is this normal all day everyday when he had been happy beforex

Could his back molars be coming through? Both my DC were as you describe during this horrible, final teething stage.

Can you give him something for it, if it is teething - Calpol, or whatever he usually has if unwell?

If it continues too long, maybe try GP or HV.

Do you know i did wonder if molars as he is just missing them now although i cant feel them at all. Hope that explains it. How long did it go on for??? Ive tried calpol but thst hadnt made any difference. :( is thatcwhy he is craving milk snd cheese snd nothing else maybe?! He is awful in the house and then was better ( turning the charm on) when playing at a friends housewhich foxed me abit though? X
