    I know that Im late reading this, but my 14 month old did exactly the same thing for about 3 weeks and it was just SO tiresome. He shrieked and whined ALL day and he wouldn't even let me hug him. Then it got remarkably worse - then one day, pop a molar tooth plus a change of sleep cycle - turns out he wanted to go from 2 to 1 sleep per day. It was HELL and then it got better. Stay strong, it will pass.

    14 months is such a difficult age for kids i reckon. They are old enough to know what they want and what they don't want but haven't quite got the communication skills. The result is generally a lot of whinging! My 14 month old is doing exactly the same thing. It was about this age that i started using a bit of sign language with DD1, we just used a few basic things like food, drink, nappy change and finished. That way i was helping her to communicate and she didn't need to whinge as much to get her point across. I've just started with DD2.

    All kids whinge, but with my 2 i find this age particularly, involves a lot of whinging! It will get better.

    Ohhhh, this is just like my nearly 14 month old and it's been a shock to the system, as our first was and is such an easy child...

    I was a bit worried about it too, but now thanks to your posts I feel better!

    Mine is not walking yet, so may be adding to his frustration?
