Hi All, just after some advice, and to have a bit of a rant...My 8 month old has got really whingy and moody. She also seems to be way behind her peers development wise, I spoke to HV and they said not to worry yet but I can't help it. She sits up but that's about it, she doesn't roll over, she doesn't crawl, she doesn't really stand ( will occasionally but not for long and not very well) she pushes up in her arms when on belly but mostly just does swimming motion. She babbles a lot but doesn't say any words yet. We go to a baby class every week and recently she just cries through the entire thing. I'm worried I'm stopping her developing somehow, like I'm overprotective as ftm. I've always given her lots of tummy time but she's is hating it more and more. She just wants to be picked up and carried all the time, I try not to too much but sometimes when she is bawling huge tears I don't know what else to do. Any advice on how to help her develop, where I might be going wrong, how to stop the whinging would be good. She does have a lovely happy side and gives me lots of smiles and giggles but when with other people (or sometimes for seemingly no reason) she is really grumpy. A lot of my postnatal friends call her the grumpy one which is a by upsetting as she can be so lovely and happy. Sorry or the rant just feeling a bit upset about it, just want her to be happy. Thanks
