Whinging

Any other babies around 14/15 months whinging constantly? My little girl is constantly whinging throughout the day, even if she’s playing she’ll just randomly whinge and she gets frustrated so easily - like with her dolls pram, if it doesn’t move exactly in the way she wants it she gets very frustrated. Also if I go into the kitchen which is open plan so she can still see me but as soon as I close the stair gate she’s there whinging for me to pick her up. I’ve even moved the living room around so her play area is as close to the kitchen as possible so she’s able to play whilst watching me but she doesn’t she’ll just stand at the gate whinging until I’ve picked her up. Is this a phase or could it just be part of her personality? I’ve started explaining what I’m doing such as ‘mummy’s making you dinner so I can’t pick you up’ etc. it’s hard if it is a phase because even if it is, whilst you’re in it it feels like it’s going to last forever 😅 I’m also not sure if it’s because she’s in nursery 3 days a week, the days I’m at home with her she just wants to be with me the whole time which is lovely but it also means i can’t get anything done! Does anyone have any tips if you have been through the same? Such as once you’ve exhausted everything else like explaining etc do you just ignore it? She’s not crying because there are no tears!

My little boy is exactly the same at the moment, he goes with his grandparents once a week and is fine with them but as soon as he’s with me he needs to be able to see me at all times. If I leave the room he screams even if I’ve only gone to the bathroom. I think it’s just a phase but it’s exhausting nonetheless

@Amelia glad to know I’m not the only one going through this at the moment but yes it is exhausting! She seems to have good days but more often than not she whinges from the moment she wakes to the moment she goes to sleep! 🙃

Yes yes yes! He actually plays better when he can’t see me. He will whinge at first then figure out he can play quite happy without me.

@Amy yes! I’m finding exactly the same with my little girl x

Same! I’m hoping this is a phase lol 🤣🤞🏽
