Whiny baby during wake windows

Anyone’s LO going through a really whingy and whiny stage? Just turned 8 months and has started to crawl. I thought once he could crawl it would stop as he’s finally on the move but it’s still happening..

Mine only stops whining when we’re out of the house or there is someone else there to entertain him…

My little boy is but it’s due to teething. He’s also been all for mama lately because of it. I suppose he’s needing extra comfort at the moment 🤍

Maybe he’s teething or growing pains?

Mines the same just he’s not crawling he’s trying to walk instead when we hold him up and he’s also teething quite bad but he just wants me over dad so it gets quite hard only time he settles is if we stand up with him or if we’re outsidex

Yes! My boy is so whiney because he’s desperately wants to crawl or walk, he constantly grabs my hands and makes me walk with him which is exhausting! He’s a very sociable boy and he wants to be out all the time so there’s never a day I’m in the house for more than a few hours 🤣

Yes my LO has been SO needy the last 2 weeks (coincides with first tooth coming out and crawling). Lovely to get cuddles but so exhausting

My girl turns 8 months tomorrow and she screams and whines most of the time at the moment. It doesn’t help she’s going through a sleep regression but only for day time naps, she’s constipated from her anti reflux milk and she’s had her two bottom teeth pop through 😩 I feel like a failure not knowing how to help her

So glad to hear I’m not alone. We’re all in this together 😅😬

Omg I’m so relieved to see this!! I honestly don’t know what to do with mine! 🤣 constantly whinging and grizzling and it’s so frustrating not knowing how to help him! 🥺

Yes I've been battling mastitis the last 2 days and I really started to realise how much I have to carry him around!
I've put him on a strict sleep schedule yesterday and today and upped his solids. He seems happier but is still cranky a lot 😅

So we all have whiny babies right now?! Thank goodness! My lb is absolutely awful unless we are out walking, he's a very social baby, loves people and the attention everyone gives him 😂 but when it's just me and him he doesn't stop.. he's trying to crawl but hasn't got it yet unfortunately plus he's teething so bad and nothing I try seems to help him

Mine is the same she is trying to crawl but is teething at the same time. She cries a lot and wants to be cuddled on me a lot more now than she used to

Same for us, it’s been one thing after another though, teeth, colds, more teeth, and she’s not quite crawling so that too, it’s very frustrating sometimes

i know how you feel about it being one thing after another

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
