FTM in desperate need of advice!

My son is 15m old and since last 2 months he has been continuously screaming like the moment he wakes up he will scream, i take him yo Early On centers initially he will play but again he wud start screaming. If he wants something he will scream, I dont know if this is normal? I went to 2 pediatricians to get him checked for potentially ear infection or something but everything seems to be fine. I am so lost and feel super tired and frustrated all day. The only time he will not scream is while asleep or in car seat rest all day he will shout. Please let me know if anyone has experienced something like this and if there is anything i should do to help him with this.

Mine doesn’t scream literally all day but he definitely screams a lot and he’s 16 months old. Honestly I think it’s just the developemental stage they are in. They want to articulate their hat they need and want but get very frustrated because they can’t. Mine does have bouts where he wakes up screaming and just doesn’t stop unless I’m carrying him around for like an hour.
I’m not a doctor or anything so really I can’t say if maybe there is something wrong but this is just my experience.

I have found taking my son outside everyday for a few hours is really helpful. He’s much easier to manage when I do that and seems happier.
I don’t know if that helps but I hope it does 💖

My girl used to scream when she wanted something but we taught her to say "help" and that seems to have reduced her screaming.

That’s the age of screaming as I call it lol. Mine screamed a lot - it’s like they have found their voice but don’t know volume setting can be lower.

Toddlerhood is tough for them as they are learning about emotions and their own independence from caregiver. It’s perfectly normal and just try and redirect their attention.

I found with mine, the more you tell them to “stop screaming” or bring attention to it, the more it encouraged the behaviour.

Try to redirect to a fav activity or fav food or fav toy etc so they forget the reason why they were screaming.

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Speech

Hi everyone I am just at such a loss here. My son isn’t saying any clear words. He has been in speech therapy since he was 16 months and was of course evaluated for autism but they didn’t see any signs of autism in him so that can’t be it. He does use some gestures and understands quite a bit. His little brother is arriving in August and I’m really hoping some words will come before then. Any one else experience this with their child before 2 and then words came??

Baby hitting themselves

Hey everyone, I hate going to Google because it just makes you feel very uncomfortable afterwards. My 18 month old has recently in the past week started to hit himself on the head with his hands and sometime in our play room foam floor he will hit his head against the ground. I googled (i know your not supposed to) and it said that it can be a sign of frustration of not being able to communicate. When he would hit himself i would obviously react and grab his hands and say no sternly. I dont know if my reaction has made it worse because it has become more frequent. He sometimes will go to hit me and once has went to go bite me. Can someone give me some advice.

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do
