Since starting nursery last Nov my youngest DS has become a complete nightmare.
He used to be happy, smiley and pretty "easy". Now he's so difficult and always grumpy. I think a lot of this stems from frustration as he cannot talk yet (have heard the occasional mama but nothing else). He constantly whines / whinges too.
I probably sound really negative and to be honest that's how I am feeling!
The nursery have asked for a meeting with me to discuss him but did say "not to worry".
He is my 4th but not experienced the grumpy-ness before though 2 of the other 3 have been late to talk (3) but both fine once they started. The same nursery raised concerns regarding one of my others and referred to S&L but came to nothing as he started talking and progressed quickly.
I have to work so he has to be there 4 days/week 8.45-1500. I did think maybe a childminder setting would suit him more as he likes to sleep (normally naps 10-12) but can only manage an hour at nursery as no separate sleeping area just a "quiet" corner with cots.
Any advice anyone?
I've called the HV and left a voicemail to make an appointment as don't want to look negligent in any way.
