How do you get your LO to eventually calm down? She literally shaking after she eventually calms and then one tiny thing sets her back off again
She was hyperventilating/coughing she was so worked up. In this case I went up and took over from my partner as I think her original reason for the tantrum (not getting yoghurt) had moved on to being with him and not me. She calmed down a bit when I cuddled her then I did some deep breaths near her face which she seems to like, then we read a book. But she was a bit shaky all evening and at some point requested a dummy (which she never took as a baby and has probably only used 5 time in her life 🤷♀️) I did something similar last time, waited for her to get the worst of it out then sat down with her and did breathing/cuddles then books.
My boy does this, I have resorted to putting his fav tv programme on and walking away to enable him to calm down and that has worked ok, outside bit of a challenge so I’ve taken him away from the situation rather than trying to engage as I seem to make him worse by cuddling or talking to him
@Liz Would you also do this if it was midnight? My LG was doing this through the night and I was tempted to put the TV on to calm her but I thought it might have been a bad idea with it being the middle of the night xx
We are experiencing this to some degree but not for hours, maybe for 20-30 mins.
