DD does seem to get board easy and I play with her most of the day, she likes sittng on my knee looking at books, singing, gettng the pots and pans ot of the cupboard, hidy boo, toys and so on but only if she is sat on my knee.

At night I dont feed her back to sleep. Last night she went to bed a little eailer at just gone 7 and slept till half 6!!! Which she has never done!

Hi Kate,

My son is 9 months old. Hes at nursery full time and is normally quite a happy chappy. But if im around, he only has eyes for me. He will scream the place down if he is not sitting on me or having cuddles with me on an evening. If i put him down to have a drink, its a full temper scream like i have hurt him! Some nights (like last night) i felt like i could not move or do anything without having him attached to me. It has only been like this for a little while so i know how you are feeling. The funny thing is, if im not there, hes fine and is really happy, he just loves his mum i think and is trying to make sure i dont leave him. Seperation angziaty (sp?) can last a few months and can be tough but i know that he will grow out of it.

Where abouts do you live? Im in lancaster/morecambe if you are near there at all. i saw on your profile you are in the north west so if you would like to meet up for coffee and to swap baby stories then i would be happy to. I also have some other friends with babys the same age who could come along!

I have found that cbeebies can be a good distraction for nathan for at least half an hour and i can get things done if i leave him in his bumbo watching the telly!

My first 2 were the same. they cried all the time (again only stopped when held , rocked or in bath. When people came around they were good(as they were being held and seeing new people) and people said how good they were but when they left it was back toreally moaning babies again.
My youngest now has 2 older brothers and sisters to watch and he was a better baby as he was entertained more by watching them.
Some babies are like it im afraid and like to be entertained and held all day long. I could not even do the washing up if they were awake. they grow out of it. Just hang in there.Once they can crawl about it got easier(sort of!).

I'm another one who would suggest cranial osteopathy as something to try.

My DS fed much better from the day after his first treatment - which looks like all the osteopath is doing is holding the child's head. My DH said he'd hold DS' head for the amount of money we were paying the osteopath...:p

This thread has brought it all back to me - )MG!! :eek:

I remember once in the middle of the night the only thing that stopped my youngest from screaming was a 'Barney' video - what relief. Have you tried putting LO to watch a video for a while? Barney is very educational with lots of bright colours so attracts the very young. Just an idea.

Oh and as others have said - it will pass. Thankfully it is a dim and distant memory for me now, lol.
