Whiney Baby Syndrome

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
My 10 month old has been whiney all week. What gives? She wants to be picked up then she wants to be put down. If you go more than 3 feet away from her she freaks out. She is normally fine playing in her playroom while I get some housework done, but not the case lately. She wants full attention. She has her 2 front bottom teeth and getting those in was very painful. She does keep jabbing her finger in her mouth, so I am thinking maybe she is just getting ready to get more teeth in. I am worried it could be formula since I have been in the weaning process. I just wish she could tell me what's buggin her!! At what point do I take a 'whiney' baby to the doctor? Am I missing something ya think?

    DS does this when he's sick. Not saying that your LO is sick, but for my LO it is a warning sign. She could just be going through a growth spurt, or separation anxiety could be kicking in. I only take DS to the doctor if he's running a fever, has bad diarrhea, or pulls at his ears badly.

    Ugh! I hear ya! My DS has been doing this too! Probably teeth and separation anxiety. I can't even stand up and stretch without a freak out! Can you give her something new to explore? A bowl of water to dump, paper to tear?

    Teething? I think it is pretty normal. We will hear a lot of whining for a couple years. Help! lol

    If I gave her paper to rip, she would eat it. Huh?

    I'll have my parents help tonight. Thank the Lord for loving grandparents!!

    This. DS got a hold of some paper this morning, tried to eat it, gagged, and projectile vomited his entire breakfast.

    If no fever or other symptoms of illness I would guess separation anxiety or teething. We are currently dealing with both at our house. I hear that it does get better although I can't tell you exactly when Sad

    The syndrome started at our house around 13 months... he's 15mo now and it seems to be getting a little better. He is generally happier (now that he can walk too), but still has the separation anxiety pretty bad. I also used to be able to stay with earshot and he was fine, but now I must be several feet away or he cries. I'm hoping it goes back to normal soon...!
