Whinging a lot
Charlotte has been a bit whingy lately. Yesterday she was at it nearly all day. It was just a constant hum in the background and nearly drove me round the bend and up the wall & back down again!!!!
I tried everything to make her happy. Playing, feeding her (she did seem to be hungry and ate a piece of her choccie b'day cake like a piglet), & comforting her. She's been a little unsettled at night too, crying out in her sleep. She only seems contented with a dummy in her mouth (which I don't want to keep doing), or if she's climbing on me or touching me in some way.
Do you think it's a form of separation anxiety? Or just a phase (I do hope so). I hate not having a happy baby (

I don't think she's poorly just seems clingy. It's not like she wants cuddles as she's not a very cuddly baby she just has to be climbing over me or touching me so I can't get much done nowadays!
At night time she goes to sleep fine, then cries out in her sleep and like your little one will only settle with dummy.
I dont know what it is, she is still teething but had 2 come through recently and doesnt have any other symptoms ?
I hate to see her crying especially the little tears when there clearly is nothing seriously wrong lol.

Gabe is more whingy in the day if he hasnt slept well at night so she could be overtired. Yesterday he was so overtired and whiny, me and oh were trying to eat our tea so we put him in his bumbo with some organix crisps, naughty to shut him up with food but it worked! x
