Advice on a 14 month old morning moany pants welcome.

[saltnvinigarcrips]

Recently my 14 month old DS has started moaning in the morning. He moans before he gets his milk (impatience) and then is happy while he's having it but then will leave some of it and then moan till breakfast is ready and then moans throughout breakfast (and I try lots of different things as he is generally a good eater) but then after breakfast he will continue to moan. It is starting to drive me and dh a bit mad. Has anyone got any advice as to why he is so unhappy in the morning as he doesn't seem hungry or tired. We try to entertain him with his toys but he ends up getting frustrated and cries.

I too am struggling with a moany DS salt so you have my sympathies. My 13 mo old (10 mo corrected) son is moaning or whinging almost constantly at the moment despite our almost constant attempts to try to keep him happy. It does grind you down after a while.

According to The Wonder Weeks there's a big developmental change at 64 weeks, before and during which toddlers get more fussy, sleep more poorly, can be clingy, eat fussily and generally be in a worse mood. It will pass, it's not an inexorable drift into being a total git for life or anything. Sympathy and patience is the only thing you can do about it.

It's probably a developmental spur for you, too, Snowboarder but obvs not the same one.
