oh em jee

eli has a sniffle, which im not massively concerned about, but lord help me - i cannot put him down for a second...then i pick him up and he wriggles and grizzles and whines and squeaks so i put him down.....then he starts again so i pick him up.

not hungry, had calpol, probably needs some sleep, poo'd his bodyweight already today...poor little sausage!

any suggestions? i cant take the whiiiiiiiiiinnnnnneeeeeeeeeeee!!! (i let him play with my phone so i could type this haha)

awww is he teething hun, rich was really clingy when he was teething.

how about giving him a bath, might calm him a little and give you some arm space, or go for a walk with him in his pushchair, he might go off to sleep for a bit then.

althoguh on days like this i used to forget the housework and put a disney film on and sit on settee and watch that with him, he used to fall asleep, or get interested and move away from me so i could do something.

hope hes not so clingy soon xx

sounds a bit like Ava when she's teething, like Clare said I usually just use distraction and go out for LOTS of walks.

Noah was like this hun last week it was a nightmare. Wen I put him in my bed for a bit he wriggled none stop for 40 min then a few days later his first tooth came through. It also could be growing pains. Try giving his a massage b4 bed x char

thanks ladies, i think it's just cos he has a cold - he doesn't seem to be teething at all for a change since number 8 popped through

managed to get him to eat some soggy bran flakes with his fingers and amuse himself in the highchair in front of the mirror so i could wash my hair - i think you are right though, dressed and into the pram for a wander to look for doggies i think

ooooooh I feel your pain I can cope with anything, BUT the whingey whine I cannot bear xx

I'd go with the pushchair. Thats what I resort to when Jamie wants non-stop attention. Hopefully he'll sleep and then be better later
