My little girl will be 15 months on the 10th, the past week or so she has been constantly clingy more than normal! Sheās also having complete meltdowns whenever she is told no and when she canāt do what she wants to do it results in her crying and throwing herself backwards! I honestly thought this age would be easier but boy was I wrongš Sheās always been such a happy baby but just lately it feels like sheās constantly aggy and I donāt see any light at the end of the tunnelš© I think a lot of it is also frustration because sheās really trying to talk and when it comes to meals sheās wanting to feed herself and not have any help at all so I donāt know if itās another developmental leap or what but please tell me Iām not alone and it does get better? Mum guilt is so real at the moment as she acts like that but then is really loving and sweet which makes me feel awful for feeling in the trenches and like Iām just wishing this time away for it to get better again!š

I think it a leap learning so much and trying to be more inderpendence. It is hard both my twins are in the phase.

You are not alone at all! I donāt think enough is people talk about how hard the 1s are! They are so full of energy and get so frustrated. Itās hard but try and stay as calm as you can and give names for what they are feeling. Give her simple words if you can to use rather. My daughter gets so frustrated when sheās done eating and still strapped into her high chair and I kept saying āyou finished? You want up?ā to her when she was like this and she now says up and recovers faster and faster from the meltdown. Itās hard all of this and you are not a bad mum at all!! Itās this age, they start to realise they are little people in the world and want things their way and itās tough to learn it canāt all be your way but itās a lesson they need to learn. We can get through this! X

I'm in the same boat.
My LG really doesn't like being told no resulting in throwing herself back (in slow motion so she doesn't hurt herself she has banged her head so many times from doing at full force she has learned)
Childminder she doesn't throw a tantrum but gives her evils when she says no.
Also desperate to feed herself but happy for us to pre load spoon for her
She hold out the spoon asking for more.
Sometimes she will pick food up and try and put it on her spoon herself.
You're not alone!
Letās see it ladies.
Youāve got to laugh or youāll cry, letās be honest š¤£

Someone please help me with some advice because Iām losing my absolute mind š
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time sheās in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

My baby is almost 4 months, she was always so happy and smiley but recently she SQUEALS!!! if sheās not squealing, sheās crying, no matter what we do.
When we pick her up, she wants to move every two seconds and stiffens up and screams at us to move her, in the car, play gym, in her swing chair.. itās relentless!!!
Anybody else experienced this?? Iām worried (although I hope not!) that because I never let her āself sootheā and responded to every sound sheās made that I may have spoiled her like people said and I laughed at?

FTM to a 7 week old who has been incredibly chilled up to now bar problems with wind. From 6 weeks old he has been crying none stop and will only soothe with contact naps. I am unable to put him down and even on me he seems to wake up screaming crying for no apparent reason. He is absolutely fine at night but day times are a different story and he seems to go through a cry - feed - contact nap - cry- feed cycle until he goes down at night. I know this must be a phase but I am STRUGGLING. is anyone else going through the same thing?
