9 month old being a pickle all the time

Hi all,
my DD just does not seem happy and was wandering if any of you had any thoughts. We have a couple of problems that I feel may be making her like this.

1. She is a very bad eater
2. She does not sleep through the night and never has. Does not sleep well in the day either.
3. Teething but will not accept calpol or teeting remidies.

She is happy if you are sat with her and she is cuddling or sat on you but as soon as I try to do somthing she cries so so dramiticly putting her head to the floor. Any ideas as to what I can do to make her happier and therefore cheering us all up? When out and about she is a happy baby but at home when I'm trying to get things done she is a bit of a monkey.

No not a monkey a normal human baby! going through the 'attachment' stage 'cos at that age they begin to realise that you are not part of them and it is upsetting for them. Maybe try a sling indoors for her.
