Constantly getting irritated

Is anybody else struggling with their LO's being so irritated and aggy when they're on their playmat? Or anywhere except for in your arms? I don't know how to encourage him to be happy to play independently for a short while so I can just feel human for a sec and have a moment to drink or eat without rushing it whilst hes getting upset or grunting at me from his mat, even when I'm sat right next to him. The meltdowns get even worse when we're eating actual dinner, we even sit on the floor beside him handing him toys or switching him from station to station to try and entertain him but nothing does, hes still as upset 😅 He isn't in pain when he does it or anything so I know it's not a reflux on his back issue as soon as hes in our arms and we're stood up hes okay, we cannot be sat down holding him or he has a meltdown🥲

Yep!! And even worse now that he’s teething. He wants to be touching me all day and all night lol. I’m trying my best to just embrace it but it’s sometimes hard when I need to get something done. 😅

YES! My PPA is so bad, every time I step away and I hear him start whining/grunting for me it sends my anxiety levels through the roof 😭 I feel so bad especially because he doesn’t want much, just to be close to mama But I have to be able brush my teeth, shower, etc! Idk how to get myself to calm down during those moments because I feel like it’s not fair to him. Oh and if he sees us eating food, forget it lmao He will whine and yellll, and as soon as you make eye contact with him he starts cheesing real big He’s worse than my dogs! 🤣

Yes my daughter frequently seems to be mad at her toys. She doesnt have the motor skills to play with them how she wants to so she gets agitated after about 10 to 15 min. I'm trying to find other activities. She likes singing songs but that seems to be the only thing that works right now.

I’m so glad it’s not just me and my baby😭 I swear things have been so difficult lately! I can feel his frustration because he’s bored and doesn’t want to just lay there anymore, but can’t really play with toys on his own yet, so he gets very bored very quickly and seems irritated all the time. Also going through some sort of sleep regression, because naps are not lasting longer than 30 minutes... And then, of course he gets very frustrated when we eat because he also wants to try everything😂
