Question about 6 month old appearing frustrated ?

Question

I plan to ask the doc at our 6 month check up which is next week. But it concerns me more and more that my baby seems frustrated and squeezes the h**l out of my arms daily. We can be rocking , playing and he'll just grab my arm fat, the top of my forarm and just squeeze real hard. i actually bruise from it. Hes done this for about 2 months now. He is teething , and has been a lil warm, no high fever though, drooling, but he also grunts alot, turns red, tightens his body up, and hasnt been sleeping, or napping like he had before. Something to worry about ? or not? Can you relate at all? Thanks

Answer 1

I have a 10 month old and when he was about 6 months he started tightening his body up to. I noticed that he would do this when he wanted something. I am not even close to be an expert lol but I believe that babies do this because they are frustrated about not being able to say what they want. As for the squeezing im not sure about that but my son started to do that a few months ago.
