I find DS has been the same lately, minus the extra night waking and having to sleep next to his cot at night. Just whingy at times, but unless he is distracted he will tend to follow me or DH around yelling for attention or grizzling.
I'm telling myself its just teething, as we've set it up now so either DH or I are home with the kids while the other is at work. But otherwise he seems to be acting a bit like Fred. Hmm, I don't know what to think? Teething or attachment.
FWIW Ryatha I really hope you get a good nights sleep soon
I have had the same thing. It is getting better now but it takes DD a while to warm up to people (even family). She is normally attached to my leg or pulling up at me.
It started to get better when I decided that I couldnt go on like this. It wasnt healthy for either of us. I started to talk to her. I would leave her int he bedroom with DP and say "Stay here with Daddy, I'm just going to get you a bottle" and I woul say it to her the whole time I was gone. I did this for lots of things. "sit down and play" Mummy is just going to get the clothes. I'll be right back". This helped a lot. i can now do things around the house and she will do her thing and then come and find me after a hile, then go back to doing her thing, etc.
There is hope though
