Anyone elses baby just soooo cranky. For the past 3 weeks shes done nothing but scream, cry and throw tantrums. I talk to her and she cries, i try make her laugh and she cries. At the stage I honestly feel like I’m the worst mum on the planet even though i try my best. Earlier i pretended to clap her rocking horse and she screamed so bad. I need a cuddle, a bottle of wine and to be told everything is alright 😂

Yes, to say my girl has always been a super mellow baby, for the past week or so she’s been having tantrum after tantrum about the smallest things! Babies this age have strong emotions, and they are becoming little manipulators whilst they are learning how to regulate their emotions - which we as parents can only help with, but we can’t stop the tantrums. They also can’t tell the difference between need and want, things going wrong being able to be fixed (like when my girl builds blocks and suddenly it falls over she will scream and stomp her feet and throw the blocks everywhere) so some things may seem like a huge deal to them. I feel you on this one 100%. All we can do is stay calm when this happens and show them the solution/be there for them when they feel these big emotions. Everything will definitely be alright mama it’s not your fault at all, this is part of your baby’s development. It’s also fact the more emotional your child is the more intelligent they are. X
