7.5 month old becoming more tearful. Anyone else?

Hi all,
My LB I would say is such a happy boy and hasn’t ever really been very tearful but recently he just seems upset a lot more than before.
I’m not sure if it’s the heat or teething. He now cries whenever I leave the room which I know is normal but then he will cry if the food isn’t in his mouth quick enough or even just cry if I put him down.
He has dropped a nap and has become a cat napper so I’m not sure if he’s just more tired so it’s making him more unsettled. Or is it just he’s more grown up now and aware of things? Has anyone else experienced this at this age?

Just want my happy little baby back xxxxxx

My boy is the same, he's 8 months. But just so grumpy all the time. Sometimes I'll just leave him to it when he's playing on his own because if I make eye contact he'll start moaning!

I think it's teething, heat and learning what anxiety is (poor them), and boredom (poor us( sometimes a change of scenery is helpful. Yesterday he was crying so much so I took him up to his room and then he was rolling about laughing.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
