It's constant high pitched whining, even when eating. He throws hissy fits all the time - goes red faced, shrieks, balls up his fists bringing them up to his head and slamming them on the ground. Even changing his nappy he works himself up so sometimes he can hardly catch a breath. I was hoping it was teething as he has no teeth yet but he's showing no signs that it's his gums bothering him.
He's always been a bit grumpy as he gets bored easily but I thought when he started to crawl it would get better. I just tell him a firm no when he gets on but don't know what else to do.
I feel like a terrible mum as the only part of the day I look forward to is when he's asleep, like he is atm. Or bath time when he's all giggles and smiles. My dp works 6 days a week and I'm feeling really worn down and exhausted by it all. Can't help but feel that the chickens are coming home to roost as I know I was a dificult baby.
Ahhhhhh. Someone tell me it gets easier. That it's just a stage!! Is there anything else I can do???
