Hi everyone,
My daughter has just turned 8 months old and just seems so miserable at the minute😞
She has always been quite a miserable baby since the day she was born, she has always cried a lot and it takes a lot to make her happy.
When she turned six months old and learnt to sit she seemed to cheer up a bit and could entertain herself and would be entertained by me a little bit easier.
However, she then hit the 7 month mark and it’s been pretty downhill from there, she seems so cross at the minute! She will be happily playing one second and the next she’s crying, she’s constantly trying to get to me, to which I oblige, but once she has me she’s still not happy. She sleeps well at night and fairly well through the day which I really should be thankful for but the days are soooo hard. She cannot entertain herself for even a second and just cries and whinges all day long. I’m finding it so tough at the minute and I’m just not sure where to go from here.
She has two teeth and hasn’t had one since she was about six and a half months so I’m aware it could possibly be that. She is also very close to crawling and sort of drags herself around so she can get to toys that are quite close.
Oh and she is very much a mummy’s girl and I believe she’s going through the 8 month separation anxiety phase.
I mean I guess I know she’s going through a bit of a crappy phase at the minute but im just looking for someone to tell me it gets better, I feel like I struggle through every single day at the minute.
