11 month old tantrums

My little girl is 11 months old and cries every time I say no or take something off her.

As she's obviously too young to understand why I'm saying no, so she's not doing anything wrong, so it's hard.

She's so advance in other things not surprised that she's already getting the concept of tantrums but she's just not old enough to understand why I'm saying no to her, and so I can't help her.

Photo so we don't get lost

I could have written this. My little girl is 11 months and is exactly the same!

Same for my boy, he just knows he wants whatever it is and I won’t let him have it.

My 11 month old is the same, lol

We’re having the same! Mini toddlers 🥲

So glad everyone's in the same boat haha, hopefully they get better as they get older x

🤣

yh but she wouldn't understand that the reason I'm saying no is because it will hurt her.
She understands it as I want that, mummy's saying no x

It feels like a first child thing, my eldest always cries if we ever tell him he can’t have/do something, doesn’t matter how gentle I’m being. My second laughs when I do the same… my first is nearly 3 so still waiting for this phase to end

I can't wait for her to just understand what I'm saying, cause then I know she's being naughty rather than just not understanding my reasoning x

yh she knows ouch, if she hurts herself she says ouch but she will keep doing the same thing I've told her not to do

When you speak to your child and maybe wave your finger and say noooo. Or take whatever they have and say no they will understand. They are so clever and may I say sly lol.

I think having a sibling is really helpful where they can see what no means. When I take things away from my 11 month old daughter she just carries on with her day realising she can’t put random objects in her mouth or I will take it from her.

We live with my sister who's 5 so basically like a sibling relationship, they play together and it's a big part of her being so advanced as she copies her.
I do say no and show her I'm saying no and she shouts and tries to bite me. I do tell her off, not shouting but telling her no. It's just her age ATM, I know she will learn as she gets older x

there’s nothing to worry about then ! X these kids are so clever lol I was worried about my first child and his growth but he’s starting nursery next month and after so many milestones they come a long way and such a big relief xx

:) x

Going through the same thing currently with our sweet 8.5 month old daughter ❤️

I am a softy, so instead of just taking away the item, I swap it for something that is acceptable. Fewer cries. (I never used to be this soft, but Baby's older siblings keep calling me a meany 🙄)

aww haha, that's actually a really good idea, I'll try that when I can. She has a play kitchen which helps a little when I wanna cook. But she love to try get in the bin ATM and go under the table 🤣🙄

I have never understood the attraction of a bin!

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Help meeee

!!All advice welcome!! My 5 month old (nearly 6mo) is just not sleeping . Not for naps and not at night . She can’t connect her cycles . We started sleep regression at 3 months but in like how is this nearly been going on for a further 3 months . Like surely not . She has 10 min naps in crib ( which take so much effort ) and maybe 20/30 min naps in my arms/pushchair . She wakes minimum every hour at night with guaranteed false start 20 mins in . I combo feed. I breastfeed her until almost asleep then place her in the next to me crib give her the pacifier and put my hand on her cheek/face for 20 seconds and she drifts off . It’s not really getting her to sleep that’s the issue it’s she just won’t stay asleep . She doesn’t even need to feed much at night usually 1-2 breastfeeds . The rest is comfort wakes needing her pacifier or my hand on her cheek . I’ve looked into sleep associations and independent sleep and I broke the feed to sleep association and rocking and do bedside comforting instead for most wakes which has now lead to my hand being a sleep association on her face . I’m just so exhausted my husband is working mon-fri 9-9 and it’s just me . I haven’t had more than 4 hours in a row since her birth . I can’t get anything done during the day . She is so clingy and cries if I leave room /put her down etc. I love her so much but we both need rest . If anyone has any tips or a routine that could help PLEASE tell me I’ll try anything 🥲❤️❤️

Feeds

How many times a night are your little ones getting up? My daughter is every 90-110 minutes. I am absolutely exhausted and don’t know how much more I can cope

Sleep

My baby is now 8 months and we have a sleep problem.. he refused to sleep during the day , I need to rock him for about 40min then have break and try again even though he's clearly tired , sometimes he doesn't have the last nap because it is impossible to put him down. For the last few nights he wakes up every hour with cry and most of the day looks tired. I was at the GP and everything seems fine. Don't know what to do anymore. Does anyone have the same issue? How to deal with it?
