My 4 months son loses interest in EVERYTHING very quickly. He doesnt seem to want to play with any of his toys, he detests his swing and play mat and saucer, and even holding him and walking him around doesnt seem to keep him happy anymore. He enjoys a few minutes of being tickled and played with here and there, but he also loses interest in human interaction very quickly, so he spends a lot of the day crying in spurts of like 5-10 minutes, then stopping for a few, then starting again. he seems to be teething, there is a LOT of drool and he is gnawing on everything, but even after tylenol and orajel he is like this. so i assume it is boredom. i dont know what to do, im a first time mom and just moved 1200 miles away from my family. PLEASE HELP!

Of course he loses interest---he's only 4 months old :-)
Do you really expect a small baby to have a long attention span? Babies can't really concentrate on anything for very long. He sounds normal to me. Babies at that age don't really "play" anyway. I'm sure he's fine and as long as he's happy that's all that matters. Good luck and God bless.

Hi Sweetie,
Maybe he is tired is he napping ok for you he should be taking two naps between one to two hours a day. This is a tough age they do get bored quick .Try just sitting down and reading to your baby or take him for a walk in the stroller or a drive in the car. but make sure he is resting well otherwise they get very crabby like this. Good Luck

Don't worry about it.... Although my 4 mth old doesn't have spurts of crying like that there's a good explanation for that; Every baby is different and likes different things... My son hated his swing where as my daughter loves it!! Just keep doing what you're doing.. good luck to you

he's four months old. he's going to have a short attention span for a while. just let him be, plan a bit around what he needs (not too much, but enough so that he'll be rested for the contact you can get him to take), and wait.

Babies have very short attention spans. Take him out for stimulation.
