    Are you feeling tired or stressed, or maybe without even realising you're tense around him as you're obviously upset expecting him to cry. Kids are amazing at picking up vibes off us. Does he stop once your Mum disappears?

    All of the above :o No, he just gets worse when it's only us. I'm avoiding/dreading being alone with him at the minute.. will be tomorrow but we've got play specialist visiting in the morning then boogie babies in the afternoon at least.
