Fussy phase?
Is it just us (please tell us we’re not alone) but our son is going through a SUPER fussy phase atm. Is this normal? Wonder weeks says it doesn’t start for another week or so. It’s like he’s a toddler with tantrums right now 😓 it’s like nothing makes him happy or content unless he’s playing with something he shouldn’t be. If we take said object away, or he can’t get to it, it’s a full tantrum.
I’m at a point where I can’t wait until he goes to nursery and I feel like a bad mum for feeling that way. If I so much stand up from the sofa he crawls over to me to stop me. Both me and husband aren’t well at the moment so we’re finding it particularly difficult to handle him 😢

@Crystal I think it's said that when babies act up with parents, it's just that they're most comfortable w you, so they push boundaries and figure out things. That's the only thing that keeps me sane 😂
@Crystal thank you for your post. Glad we’re not alone. And yes exactly the same, nursery say he’s been “ever so good” and I’m like, wait what?! Are you sure we’re talking about the same child?. I think above comment is right, they’re testing our boundaries but quit it already! I’m all boundaried out 🫠😂
Omg literally sameeeeee, me and my partner were literally just talking about this before how he just wants everything especially things he can’t have and if it gets taken away he kicks off! But I’m back at work full time now and his been having two days with my brother and sister in law, 2 days at nursery and a day at my parents and we picked him up yesterday from my brothers and they said his been so good all day no crying or fussing and comes home to us and is extra fussy not sure if he thinks he can test his boundaries with us as we’re his parents and his seeing but feels too young to be doing that🥺 I have no advice unfortunately just that I’m also going through this but I’m just not sure if it’s also because of the change of routine and not being with me everyday and being somewhere and someone new nearly everyday but then try not to think that as the mum guilt eats me alive!!
