Cranky baby 6-8 months

Ashley

My baby boy is almost 8 months old and around 6 months he started getting cranky. It started off like he just was bored of his current toys and activities and now I just don’t know what it is and I’m about to lose my mind. He’s pretty happy and content when he wakes up and for about the first hour, but then the next hour he’s cranky and can sometimes be hard to get down for a nap. He doesn’t seem to be getting teeth yet. I don’t see any redness or swelling on his gums. I stay home with him and also watch my nephew, so the days are just getting really hard when he won’t stay content. Any advice? I’m getting so stressed out.
