My 9 month old is still so grumpy all day. He sleeps well and naps well but seems tired all the time, weaning has been stressful and he doesn’t have more than a few mouthfuls really, but loves milk.
He’s extremely happy when he first wakes from a nap and I come in the room (smiles, laughs and bouncing up and down) as soon as I lay him down to change his nappy he’s whinging, he’s so clingy, climbing all over me then wants to get down instantly - all day! Not very often does he play on his own and if he does, the second he spots me he cries.
I understand it’s the age for separation anxiety, but he’s been quite miserable and serious from birth and I just wondered if anyone else is the same and figured out a reason as I’m wondering if there’s an underlying issue? Or do I just have a miserable baby 😔
He had 4 sessions of cranial Osteopathy when he was about 2 months old and they said they didn’t feel he needed it, I’ve been dairy free when I was breastfeeding, and he was on reflux medicine as a newborn for a while, so I feel we’ve exhausted all the obvious but it just never seems to end.
We still can’t go out for the day or out for a meal because he’s jsut Whingy and won’t nap anywhere but his cot, I just feel like I’m stuck the house a lot or to his nap times
