Ok so he’s almost 7 months. He has started on solids, he has been teething for the last 3 months when the fuck are these teeth gonna show up and he keeps rocking back and forth on hands and knees indicating he’s wanting to move. He would be held all day by me if he could, that I do know!
He used to be happy to sit and play, he cried when hungry for milk and that was 3 hourly..
Now he cries or wants for something and nothing I offer stops the crying! He’s such a moany pants as my other dc are calling him.
I can’t remember if this is normal because my brain has stopped working properly Grin

I love him really though and don’t want to go back to work Wink

You've answered your own question. He just wants you and your attention all the time. It's a sign he is bonded to you and is showing love. I know it is so hard when you have jobs to do but can you spend more time cuddling him and helping him move about?
He should crawl soon by the sounds of it and might be frustrated. Have no advice as to how to make him stop wanting you. Hut could you say read and cuddle for an hour. Do 10 mins of jobs and then a baby group?

Oh boy we cuddle loads, he is not deprived of cuddles! It’s mostly after 4pm he starts his meltdowns. I have other children home from school so need to give them time and attention too

I still don't know what my baby wants ..and she's 15 yo now!

Later in the day - is he tired?
Others are home from school - not getting all your attention, or the others are bothering him, or he wants to join in with them?
Rocking back and forth- he wants to move independently and is getting frustrated?
Or something else!

I wonder if it could be colic...
