So DD is 8months, nearly 9months. She's never been a 'chilled' baby but recently has gotten much worse. She seems to whine almost all the time at the moment - whether I'm playing with her or she's playing by herself, whether we're out or at home. She sleeps well, eats well and isn't poorly. I rotate toys so that she doesn't get bored. She is teething so I know that doesn't help. She can't crawl so don't know if its frustration.
She usually looks directly at me when she's whining even if DH is in the room. Up until now I usually try to distract her with toys or pick her up. Is this the right thing to do or am I making it worse and should I respond less? Thank you!
