Hello all.

im not too sure what the point in this post is really, maybe looking for others who have had similar with their babies.

my 6mo as always been the happiest, smiley, content, laid back little baby. However this last week his behaviour has changed.

last week I took him to a baby class which he usually LOVES. But this time he was really reserved, even the teacher noticed! Then he didn’t want to lie down or anything and just kept getting upset. Now the last few days he’s started this ‘mmmmm’ noise which sounds really frustrated. His lips are closed tight while doing it and he does it ALL DAY! he’s not happy when doing it as it eventually leads to crying.

he won’t let me put him down, won’t even let me sit down with him on my knee!

he also seems very tired! He’s had 3 good
1.5-2 hr sleeps but seems upset when waking. Usually he’s all smiles!

anione else’s baby been through similar?
I know they do a lot of developing but this is constant frustration/ upset and I don’t know where my happy baby has gone

Could be a number if things but I'd be tempted to give him some paracetamol tomorrow. If that perks him up he might have a virus or be teething?

I tried neurofen this morning but can’t tell if it made much difference as he went down for a nap not long after! I will try again tomorrow during his wake time!
I’ve had a good look in his mouth and can’t really see much difference to what it usually looks like x

Bump! Anyone had similar with their babies?
hes been doing the mmmm noise since 5am this morning 😭 as much as im trying to get smiles he just does a straight face. Usually someone just has to look at him and he beams. 😪
