I'm my whole nine months of parenting I have not had a bad like today normally my little guy is happy and will play by himself. Not today if I put him down for 5 seconds he cried if I walked into the other room he screamed if I tried to lay him down for a nap he acted like someone was hurting him the only time he was calm all day was when we took a bath I have no idea what is wrong with him but I don't like it. Do you mommy's have suggestions as to what could be wrong
It's probably separation anxiety. Not much you can do about that except reassure him you'll be back soon, that you're not leaving him, etc.
@dreamermom what wasn't normal was even when I was sitting on the floor playing with him he still wasn't happy he wanted to be on my left hip and me moving
@jlspoores, awe so the poor guy is probably just really missing his mommy snuggles!
It could be @dreamermom the only other time he was like this he was about 6 months old and I was working so he hardly got any mommy time and the last couple days I haven't held him as much because his daddy and I have been sick
@jlspoores, maybe it is separation anxiety... I've not really dealt with that one...
@dreamermom I tried everything to get him to calm down, tylenol, ice for is teeth rubbing his gums, rubbing his belly,feeding him thinking he might be hungry, none of it worked the only thing that worked was holding him it was almost as if he was scared I was going to run away
I hope it's just a stage and he isn't getting sick he sounded congested yesterday but sounds fine today @nomaci
That's how my daughter is... she's so chill normally, when she gets like that, then I know something is wrong, either she was teething... or she was having tummy troubles, the next day her diapers would indicate the problem... but usually it was teething! Trust your gut... if it's unusual behavior there is probably a reason for it!
Thanks so much ladies @nomaci @dreamermom @6.5.16
