To be worried about baby ds and nursery?

[Noisylion]

Ds is 11.5 months and will be starting nursery in a couple of months.

I'm worried about him going for the following reasons.

He's a right moaner, I find it hard to put him down long enough to do anything. He won't sit in his highchair while I tidy the kitchen or start dinner, not even for 5 minutes with some toys, he just screams the place down. He will play on the floor for a bit but soon starts tugging at me and whinging. He cries so loudly people say he's got some lungs on him. He is happy and playful but he just wants to be free not sat in a highchair or rocker etc and when he needs something he lets you know loudly. For example when I'm feeding him breakfast and he wants his drink in between he points at it and shrieks.

He needs almost silence to sleep. I have got him into a routine where he'll sleep in his cot from awake, but he's a nightmare anywhere else and the slightest noise wakes him up.

He shits constantly, I've just changed his fourth poo today and he will most likely do another later on. Most days he will do at least 4 poos. I've no idea if this is normal but I mentioned it to the HV and she didn't seem worried. He eats really well, his diet is normal, cereal & fruit for breakfast, sandwiches/eggs/cheese for lunch and fish/meat & veg for tea, fruit & yoghurt for pudding. Milk in between and before bed. He's otherwise healthy, 75th centiles for h&w and meeting his milestones.

Oh and he will not keep still for a nappy change. My heart literally sinks when he has a poo because it is almost impossible to change him. He twists around and arches his back and gets really angry. Sometimes we end up with shit everywhere because you're there trying to wipe his bum and he's throwing himself around like an octopus. I picked him up from mil once and all his poppers were open on his vest and dungarees because she just couldn't do them up he was wriggling and crying so much.

I'm not being pfb, ds1 was totally different and loved nursery, I just feel as though they're going to get sick of ds2 moaning and they'll never keep up with his constant pooing. I'm worried that he'll never sleep and get really distressed.

Can you reassure me or do I need to give up work?

Your DS sounds like my DD. Nursery staff have told DH to stop asking if she's been good/ok etc as she is (their words, not ours) as good as gold every day. they behave differently in nursery, don't be worried, he'll get used to it and enjoy it

Babynail, you talk rubbish. Low carb diets are bad for children.

Thanks so much for the reassurance it really is good to hear.

Thanks for the reassurance on his food too, I'm happy as so far he eats anything (I know that might change), it's really rubbed off on ds1 too, probably should be the other way round but there you go.
