I thought about this some more and remembered my last non-stop whining/crying 16 month old.
He was a nightmare in the mornings and wanted to sleep after breakfast, kept laying around, refusing to play.
It turned out his parents were giving him dinner at 5 pm, putting him to bed at 7 pm, getting him up at 5 am, taking him to work until drop off (opening time) at 7:30 am
without giving him breakfast. They stopped with the evening and morning bottles at 12 months.
Breakfast is at 8:30 am, here.
15.5 hours without food or water.
And DCM felt it was
my issue to fix.
"He cry's all the way to your house and just isn't sleeping well at night, anymore. Is there something going on during the day? Has something changed? Any other kids having this issue?"
Sometimes the answer requires a little more digging.
