Does he crawl/pull up? I think it’s very frustrating when you can’t move. Mobility may cheer him up.

Is this recent OP?

If so, is it possible that it's related to food that he's being introduced to?

That is a peak age for teething. My DD was also very frustrated at that age because she wanted to crawl but couldn't figure it out. Try a baby carrier at his fussiest times ("witching hour" like 5pm-6pm, for example).

My 7 month old is sweet but very fussy. Is this just his personality? Anyone else have a "fussy" 7 month old. He wasnt colicky and he can still laugh and smile but generally he seems unahppy all the time/bored. I try to provide him with all kinds of toys and play but he is just high need. Also he was a wonderulf sleeper until 6 months and now he cant get himself back down after a sleep cycle. He is well fed - 6 feeds a day/ solids twice a day, and takes appropriate naps.
