Tantrums

Is anyone else’s 10m old having tantrums?!
My baby is generally a really chilled, happy baby but randomly this week he has started having a tantrum when I take anything off him e.g. his water cup when he’s just playing with it not drinking so water going everywhere! Proper tears when he rarely cries. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to react to stop this from happening?!

Oh my days yes. She actually shouts at me and almost seems angry? Its when we take something away mainly too. The beginning of big feelings!
We just show her deep breaths or give her a cuddle and talk to her calmly. Most of the time she does calm down quick. You can’t stop it from happening its developmental, just learning to be a little person! You can only help them regulate their feels!

I think I’m just worried about reacting in the wrong way and making it worse. I know all children tantrum but I don’t want to create a child who tantrums over every little thing when they’re older and thinks that’s how to get their way.

Yessss my baby throws her head back and screams and cries. She also crawls while dragging her head. It is the funniest thing 😭🤣
Sometimes, when I take something from her, she looks at me and screams. I try to keep a stern, yet unfazed tone with her and, if she is really angry, I will hug her until she calms down. I do not give into her demands, though.

Today she threw a tantrum because she was in the rabbit’s room playing in their water bowl, so my husband picked her up and took her to the living room to clean her up. She immediately started her tantrum. She was pissed and calling for mama (she only calls for me when she is hurt, hungry or upset).
My husband just playfully spoke to her and told her that this is what happens when you play in the water bowl. 🤣

Yes, my son, who is megachill and who’s never cried since birth, started screaming when I take away things. It’s quite funny, it’s a 3 second cry that degenerates into angry babbling. I don’t give in though and tend to either talk firmly to him or distract him, and he stops after a few seconds. But it’s definitely something he only started a few weeks ago

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
