My son just turned 1 and I love him with absolutely every piece of me but I am exhausted with his behaviour and I need help in the form of advice from other parents. Please!He is the most demanding, attention seeking, whining baby I have ever met or ever heard of. He has been this way literally since day 1. He constantly needs attention. CONSTANTLY. You know how in the newborn stage they are so needy that it’s a struggle to even shower and feed yourself? That is still going on. Is that typical for a 1 year old? Shouldn’t they have some semblance of independence by now?!I will be making our breakfast and I will be holding him so he can watch because he cries and has a total meltdown if he can’t see what I’m doing. But even as he watches me cook he is still constantly whining at me. Maybe he thinks he’s helping me by whining! It would be so adorable if he thought that, however he is certainly not helping by whining at me and I need to curb his behaviour for my sanity. I try to include him in the routine, model words for him etc, but still he whines. CONSTANTLY. What do I do to get him to stop?There are so many other situations I can describe to you to paint a better picture of what he’s like (whines and fights during diaper changes, whines all throughout dinner and especially when he decides he’s done and wants to get down from his high chair, whining while I’m getting him dressed, angry whining the entire time I’m settling him down for his nap right up until I put a boob in his mouth) but I’m honestly so frazzled from the past 5 straight hours of his whining that I want to stab out my ear drums and cry in a closet. Please help.Further info: He is typical and even a little advanced in other areas. He’s been walking for a month now, knows lots of words and repeats words regularly, has awesome coordination and likes to help in any way he can: unload dishwasher, brush his own teeth. And he is still not sleeping through the night. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2IJg4V2
