So, I did my trek for charity, came back to a very happy DS and DH - they'd had a whale of a time (is it that kind of whale?)...
First couple of days back, no problem at all. Suddenly, brought on I think by a bit of teething, my secure, content, eats everything, sleeps well little boy is now easily inconsolable.
He's fine most of the time, but there are specific time when he is just beside himself. 1 - I can hear him during hte night crying in his sleep and saying "mummy, mummy" to himself. 2 - He hates going to sleep now, and screams and sobs, and will only go to sleep in my arms.. previously very good self settler, and DH did most bedtimes... 3 - After several difficult mornings (both when at home and the days I work) he was literally dragging my trousers off me as I was trying to put them on, and sobbed as I put my shoes on. When I asked him what he wanted to do he indicated that he wanted to sit on my lap on the sofa and watch TV.Many more smaller examples, but he's then really fine when out and about, and trotting off to nursery happy on those two days a week....
Any, all advice gratefully received. I feel like the world's worst mother all over again (just out of a long period of PND)... and at my wits end. I just want him to feel safe again.
