Cranky 8 month old

My happy go lucky baby has turned into a cranky crab the last few days.

I am hoping it is teething but nothing seems to make her happy. When she is is not in my arms, she cries. When she is in my arms, she is literally bucking to get out of them.

She has been doing this rocking/moaning thing and I am wondering if she is in pain. I feel guilty b/c I recently went back to work and I am feeling like she is resentful of that - which I know sounds ridiculous but I can't help it.

Anyone else experience this during this stage? And what is up with the rocking/moaning thing - is she getting ready to crawl/creep, etc.

Thanks

It's definitely teething!!! The same thing happened to my happy Cailen at 8 mts - and it was holiday time!!!

Re: Cranky 8 month old

It sounds like teething. Try massaging her gums and if she likes that. If she does, then I would say it's teething. You can try some teething tablets too. They helps sometimes.

Yeah I would agree with the likelyhood of teething.

Ds is generally very happy nowadays & had some pretty rough days a few weeks back & just cut his first tooth 2 weeks ago!! Motrin (not Tylenol) seemed to help it somewhat.


So I agree with that!
