My son is 6 months old and all he does is whine all day. I offer him water , milk, fruit, meat, vegies, desert, chew toys, teething meds, diaper change, play, i try to put him to sleep and he just whines until a long time then he just sleeps. I feel like the only time he stops whineing is when he is sleeping.
I took him to doc a million times and they say he's just fine .. They make fun of me for bringing him tothe doc so much.
Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?
Is he just spoiled? Does he miss his daddy? His dad has been on a long work job for the past week or two but i think my son has been whiny for the past month or twol..
so confused and frusterated.

It sounds to me like he has you wrapped around his little finger.
Every time he whines you respond by hugging, holding, fauning all over him, when you stop, he whines.
Time to back off and let him stop training you.
The next time he whines don't run right over to pick him up, let him cry, it won't hurt him. Just keep an eye on him from a distance to make sure he is really okay but stop picking him up everytime he whines. Eventually he will get smart and realize it won't work to whine to get you to pick him up.
Good luck.

He's getting attention every time he whines. You're reinforcing it by paying too much attention to him. I'm sure this is your first child and you love him very much, but you need to ignore the whining if you know that there's nothing wrong. He's already playing you like a snare drum. You don't want him to be like that the rest of his life, do you? I would just change him when he needs it, play with him when you have the time and feed him when he's hungry. There is nothing cruel about just lettin him whine sometimes.

teething? i think at 6 mos. even they dont know...
frustration on thier part too for not knowing how to express what the want or needs and over stimulation
this will pass once the baby starts to motivate on thier own...my 7 month old grandaughter does this...
her mom just lets her play till shes tired...and puts her in her bed and shuts the door , theres a baby moniypr in there, eventually she just whines herself to sleep

First of all, you can't spoil a baby! It could be alot of things. Maybe he is overstimulated? If they get too much activity, they will be whiny. Are you getting good burps when you feed him? It could be he has frequent gas buildup too. It's probably a stage he's going through, and you just have to work through it with him. Respond to his cries. He needs to know you are there for him and he can trust you to meet his needs.

Maybe because he is hungry and you're not giving him any antention start taking the time to care about your baby and leave the other stuff alone; you know how much attention babies need. Cause if you don't give it to them know things will go wrong i the long run.

He is NOT spoiled. You can't spoil a baby! Something that is spoiled is left on the shelf to rot, not paid attention to!
He is fussing because it is his way of communicating with you! Babies can't talk so they cry or fuss to let you know they need something.

Stop holding him, your coddling him and at this right he is training you versus YOU TRAINING HIM, I know your mommy and you dont want to hear him cry but, place him his crib or bassinett make sure he is secure, and LEAVE THE ROOM, let him fuss until he gets understanding...but now his understanding is if I WHINE SHE WILL COME....

When he whines, he gets attention...you've trained him to do it.
Quit fussing over him when he whines and he will (eventually) get the idea.
