I'm going through a similar situation right now, but my d/s will play okay for awhile as long as I'm NOT within eyeshot.

I'm not sure what to do. I just "baby juggle" which is the name we gave it when we are constantly moving him from one area to another & back again. Sometimes a good age appropriate video is helpful. I just keep telling myself that "this, too, shall pass!" Good luck

I had the same problem with my dd. And just like dancermom as long as she couldn't see me she was okay. I agree with the "baby juggle" as long as you keep changing the enviornment and giving him new things to explor and look at this will pass. All 3 of my children went through this. And it did pass it just takes time. it also should be something to bring up to your doctor if nothing is calming him. My son was a wonderful baby and then at 9 months out of no where he developed colic. And my 2 1/2 year old had seperation anxiety so bad she was put on medication.Hope this helps.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
