So helpful!!!
What a sigh of relief! I watch a 6 month old that does all of what you are describing. He has since he came here at 6 weeks. He's actually doing it now as my LO tries to sleep and I type this because I just need a break from the noise. He just seems unhappy unless he's sleeping or eating. He won't roll over, won't sit up, won't hold his bottle, hates tummy time and is just not very interactive with anyone. He will acknowledge you with a smile and will give a little grunting laugh but that's about it. I've tried swapping toys, rooms, activity equipment and nothing seems to work. He is here 5 days a week from 730 am until about 545-6pm. From what I understand there is a lot of TV time when he is not here. It seems to keep his attention and he is less grumpy (but still noisy). However, I just HATE the idea of plopping him in front of the TV. It makes me feel helpless (as I know he probably feels the same way too). I have recently decided I will have to part ways and feel horrible about it. I agreed to keep him for a few more months until they can find another DC but it seems like an eternity away. My LO is 23 months and feels the affects of his behavior and is getting very jealous of the attention I have to give him. I have two kids myself and my biggest accomplishment thus far has been being a mother. I take huge pride in my children and my abilities as a mother. I hate to see anyone degrade another person for honestly doing their best to help an unhappy child. One truly doesn't know what it's like until you've gone through it. It can cause soooooo many problems within your household and within yourself. This was a great thread and really helped me from feeling alone in this matter.
