Anyone else's baby become moody as fuck?

[febbabies2023]

My 6 month old has been the happiest little sausage ever. Dream baby. Sleeps without needing assistance, good naps, sleeps all night, feeds well, you name it.

She got a chest infection a couple of weeks ago and still has a lingering cough. I think she's also teething although I can't feel them yet.

Since the chest infection she has been such a miserable cow. Constantly whining. Naps are shit. Waking up at 4:45am. Only taking 2 naps a day which I'm battling her for.

Where's my smiley baby gone?!

Anyway, here's a thread for anyone else struggling with whiny little shitheads right now 😂

I send strength and hope it passes soon!

Yes around that time, they're growth spurts where they need much more milk and will fuss until they get it. This is why feeding on demand is key to not going crazy.

Ugh great! She's always been a 3 hour on the dot kinda girl!
Which she still is to be fair but it's the 5am bottle which is throwing her off routine 😬

Yeah my daughter would cycle between unhappy/moaning period followed by AMAZING (for us 😂) couple weeks, followed by her norm. Once we figured this was just a phase in the cycle, the spells got easier to manage. She's still like this, more or less, now at 2. Feels very developmental.

Calpol was a godsend during teething
