My little one has done for a while and I thought it might have been a phase but he spends sooo much of the day making moaning noises, he doesn’t necessarily seem unhappy at points while doing it and he could playing on his mat but he just continues making the noise sometimes it then get worse or louder and then you can hear he is more upset.. I’m not sure now whether to take the moaning noises as he’s unhappy or whether he’s just making noise.. any ideas???

My little one does this a lot too. Sometimes he sounds upset, sometimes he makes grunting noises, sometimes he’s just cooing and babbling. As far as I know this is their way of exploring their voices and the sounds they can make. First steps towards speaking. All very normal, even if the sounds are strange and sometimes not the most pleasant to
listen to 😂

My LG does the same 😅

Mine does it when she starts getting tired. Could it be that? Try to see when the moaning starts to see a pattern.

Mine is the same
I find that it’s mainly frustration cos he’s wanting to do stuff/move about but he can’t
Like especially on his play mat he’s wanting to move about and get to his toys he’s pushed away so gets frustrated x

Our little man does this too and it's his cue for getting tired ☺️
he definitely does it when he’s getting tired but it could also be straight after naps
on his mat is where he does it most, he has now started getting on his hands and knees and is rocking and this is normally where he starts getting worse and upset with it, which is when I feel like it is frustration too.
He already has two teeth that have come through so I’ve also wondered if it’s that as he also gets upset when biting down on his toys and also sometimes is doing it when he has been feeding a while and it then reaches a point that my flow might have slowed. It just seems to be so much of a mix… that right now he just permanently seems frustrated or like he’s getting angry!x

I honestly feel like my little one is frustrated all the time too! Definitely hoping it’ll pass and they’ve just gone so much going on in their little heads x

Now you've mentioned that ours does that from time to time too. I remember thinking he's either still tired or just a little groggy from waking up.
It could be anything though Hun, or a mix of things as I've seen you've mentioned teething. It's tricky to work out sometimes isn't it. You've got this though, you'll work it out x
