Yess my son is 12 months he does this when I don’t make the bottle or give his solid foods fast enough

My 3 yo doesn’t do it too often but yesterday he had a meltdown while we were walking to the hairdressers and fell down because I was coming too. “He and his 1.5 yo sister should be going by themselves…”

My 10 month old does this when I’m not feeding her fast enough too.

Oh yeah! I let mine sit there until he’s ready to get up and we continue, but I do not allow him to do what he wanted to do. Sometimes he will have 2-3 short ones before we start moving again. But I just don’t give in to what he wanted that started the tantrum in the first place. He can have his feeling but we’re still not doing that. I usually only touch him in that state if he needs to be moved for safety reasons. I find not engaging with it (touching, talking) will allow him to resolve things quicker.

Aha yup xxxx

My son does this over the slightest inconvenience, yesterday it was brcause his applesauce pouch was empty after he finished eating it.

At first he would smack his head and i would get worried since we have hard floors, but he's perfected flopping without hitting his head at this point 🤣

I genuinely can’t deal with this anymore I ask her to stop once and then ignore the behavior and if she starts asking for something or asking questions I tell her we can talk about it once she calms down but I won’t be talking to her while she’s acting like that and one of two things happens 1 she calms down and helps me understand what she wants or two the the tantrum get worse until she tires herself out or is bored of screaming for no reason

My son just pulls a face and cries never fallen lol

Yes this is really the age they test boundaries and patience lol

Yeah but this is better than screaming and throwing things don't you think

Yes 😅he throws himself out. Slaps kicks punched

Everyday I swear! I didn’t get water fast enough last time! 🤣

Yep, regularly over small things when she doesn’t get her way! I mostly ignore or try to give comfort to help her regulate, but without giving in on whatever the thing is causing the tantrum.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

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?

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

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 🤣
