It feels a horrible thing to say but my 10 mo has always been quite moany. He is also great fun and very smiley but if I had to describe it I guess it would just be that he is quick to turn into moans/whines/cries if he's not totally happy about something and it's obviously impossible for everything be perfect for him all the time! It feels as though I've been moaned at almost constantly for the best part of a year now and it's starting to take it's toll. Developmentally all is fine as far as I can tell, he's extremely active and is starting to really develop on his language comprehension. I guess I just hoped that as he gets older this would pass - has anyone experienced this? I know you shouldn't compare but it also makes it difficult that all my friends' babies are incredibly relaxed and easy going and I'm the one turning up with a baby who basically quite often isn't very happy doing whatever it is we're doing! I try to stay really upbeat about it because the poor thing can't help it and I don't want him to be around a grumpy mum! Dh is out the house 7-7 so it's me and ds alone all day, although I make sure we're sociable and get out. Anyway, I suppose I'm looking to check that this is normal for some babies and also that the older he gets the less of a problem this will be ... hopefully?!
