Growth spurt???

[Alfiesmummy]

I really dont know if it is or if its because my little man is high maintenance, but hes not a happy chappy right now. He tends to winge alot but i put this down to him being male and not getting his own way (re: being picked up 24/7) but recently hes been either eating like a horse or not at all, hes been ratty and unsettled and sleeps alot during morning but refuses to sleep in the afternoon getting himself really worked up, hes started waking earlier in the morning too fora feed then will go back down. Im almost positive its a growth spurt combined with the fact his little pegs are at the top of his gum and they are swollen but tbh he doesnt seem as upset with them,
also can anyone suggest any books to me that give advice on making a baby more happy/settled as recently hes not been and id like to know if theres anything i can read to help. thankyou

Give him a kit kat hun

sorry hun only joking, sorry to hear Alfie is being like this, i think it will be a mixture of teeth fustration and just getting older. I dont really have any advice as Alastair is doing the same thing.

Just tell yourself it will passs soon

lots of hugs hunny, i too have a typical male high maintainence baby and its draining isn't it!!

no real help to you just want you to know you not alone

have you tried the teething gels etc, i'm not there yet so not really sure what to advise, i've heard the ashton and parsons are good from baby group.
