.. and it’s driving me bonkers.
Nearly 10 month old DS. Not crying or screaming in pain / discomfort, just shouting. At the top of his lungs with an indignant / angry look on his face.
I’m assuming he’s frustrated. He’s only just started commando crawling but will only do it when he really wants something that he shouldn’t have (my phone, a glass of water, a remote etc). Even surrounded by toys he just lies on his tummy propped up on his hands and shouts at me.
He just shouted all the way through dinner (and he’s normally a good eater) and I couldn’t work out what he wanted - I ended up giving him random stuff like my table mat just to try to work it out. When I eventually took the plate of uneaten food away he shouted at me for doing that too.
When I carry him around atm he just shouts (seemingly at nothing) as well. He shouts at baby groups and on play dates too. I know this is ridiculous to say but it’s quite embarrassing. He’s a big baby too and I don’t want people thinking my ordinarily sweet boy is a little thug!
The last couple of days he’s also bitten me at the end of every breastfeed. I remove him as calmly as poss and say “no biting” and he laughs 🙄
Oh and as I’ve mentioned before under this username, he doesn’t settle for me but does for his dad. He snuggles onto DH’s shoulder and conks out or at least relaxes and then self settles in the cot, but on me he just thrashes and shouts like he’s trying to get away.
Basically it just doesn’t feel like he likes me very much at the moment. I know that’s stupid, and he’s always so happy to see me in the morning / whenever I’ve been away for a while, but wtf won’t he stop shouting at me? It’s starting to get me down tbh.
