Baby seems frustrated

[goldenchick]

I never know which topic to pick for posts, so hopefully this gets some views and responses
My LG has just turned 8 months old and just seems so frustrated. She doesn't want to sit down, lay down, stand up, anything. She does want to be held all day long, but who doesn't
She has lots of toys, a walker etc, but seems to get frustrated and whingy within minutes. It's making it quite difficult for me to get anything done. She gets annoyed in her high chair also (which she never used to) She is more than happy if I pop her in her pushchair and take her for a walk, but again, I can't do that all day.
I obviously ensure she's fed and dry, so it's not either of those..
Does anyone have any advice for me please? X

We went through a particularly annoying phase of this. Thankfully things improved a week or so ago after he finished leap 6 - do you read The Wonder Weeks? Maybe it is the same for your little one. I know it is a particularly frustrating time for them because they are so much more interested in the world but can't quite figure out how to get what they want. Especially if they can't crawl like my boy. Ride it out and hopefully things will improve soon! I'm told a lot of frustration goes when they can move!

Exact same issue with my 7 month old. It is exhausting. He is so desperate to crawl!

I think that's it too actually. She seems to want to crawl, but bless her heart she isn't getting anywhere with it and I think that's annoying her too.
I hadn't heard of wonder weeks before a couple of weeks ago, I think I'll download the app (my constant baby brain made sure I forgot to download it ) thanks for the reminder x

Same here with my 7 month old. I spend the days carrying him at the moment as it's the only way to stop the whinging. My back and hips are killing me!!

Oh I'm soooo glad it's not just me and that I don't have a broken baby! 🤣

Ds was exactly the same around 8-9 months. Desperate to crawl but couldn't work it out.....all it took was my bloody phone that fell on the floor 😂 he was so desperate to get it he started crawling.
I noticed he got very clingy, miserable and rubbish at sleeping right before something major like crawling or walking. He's only 13 months so I feel I have a lot more grumpiness to come!

I know it may sound random but haven you tried putting her in her pushchair in the house? My son went through a phase of being whingey when I put him down and one day out of desperation I plopped him in his pushchair and he quite happily sat there with a toy and played. He also loved his jumperoo if you haven’t tried one of those.
