I don’t know about other babies but feel like mine has mini tantrums of throwing their body back or giving them something and then they’ll throw it. I thought all this was to begin at ‘terrible twos/three’s’. Even when I say ‘no’ to doing something they just continue and ignore me.
Do other mums have these bad days?

Yes yes and yes!! My LO is exactly the same, he’s coming up for 10mo and I think it’s a phase. Wanting to explore things and getting upset when they’re not able to. He’s the same with food sometimes! Very much think it’s a sign of early independence rather than an indicator of their temperament from what I’ve read! X

Yes! The throwing themselves back is so frustrating😅 also started to throw things she doesn’t want 🙈 and the crying has increased since turning 10 months! Hoping this phase will pass soon

Yes! Constantly throwing herself back when she wants to do something that we say no to.

I think sometimes the throwing is just a developmental thing where they are throwing things to see where they go if the come back.but yeh can deffo have tantrums as well my little boy is 9 months and having a phase where he hates being put anywhere car seat high chair etc he just wants to be free to roam lol so definutely can get tantrumy x

At this age they don’t understand what ‘no’ means so what I do is show her what to do instead (like tapping the toy on the floor or show her how to be gentle if she is trying to pull my hair for example) and it works 90% of the time.
When you say no you give a reaction to their behaviour which makes them want to repeat the behaviour

Absolutely. My eldest was like this too, he started having tantrums in response to being told no around 11 months and it seems my second is even earlier. If I take something off of her she's so dramatic!
When did yours start to stop?
I’m 7 months pp and it started around 4 months pp but it’s making me feel so sh*t with the amount I’ve lost.
I take vitamins and eat well and I just want it to stop 🥲

Before anyone judges, let me put it straight that I do absolutely love being a Mum but recently i’ve found i’ve been losing myself and becoming more and more agitated with little things, I never get a break from being a Mum and sometimes find myself missing the person I was before having a child, I feel awful that i’m feeling like this as I don’t want my Daughter picking up on my moods, I try so hard to make her happy and give her the best but sometimes it feels like i’m not doing enough, i’m juggling everything all at once (trying to get back into work after 3 years and having no luck) (doing course work that has tight deadlines) (trying to make sure I get her out and playing) (making sure she’s eating nutritional meals everyday) (trying to be the perfect person for everyone) it’s becoming a draining and depressing feeling.

My 8 week old cries for every car journey. Last week we went away on a 3 hour journey and thought we had turned a corner because she fell asleep calmly and we managed the journey with only two stops. On the way back was a different story, we had to stop 3 times in the first half hour and she cried solidly for the final 40 minutes because there wasn’t a services we could stop at. Since then she has cried for every car journey, almost the entire journey. It’s stressful when I can’t pick her up or physically comfort her and it’s putting me off going anywhere in the car. Anyone had this and found a solution?

1. How many naps per day?
2. How long is each nap?
3. How long between each nap? (Wake windows)
4. How many hours before bed? (Last wake window specifically)
Thank you in advance 💟

You can’t even ask a genuine question seeking advice or maybe just to realize something new because someone just has to be negative. We’re supposed to be supportive of each other but instead there certain women being competitive and taking their pain out on others and I’m honestly sick of seeing it and dealing with it. Some people don’t have a village some people can’t leave there house for medical or other personal reasons. We don’t need some know it all bitch to tell anyone that they’re blaming their problems on others when you don’t even know them. I just hope you have to run into someone exactly like you and they give you the compassion and grace you shower others( which is none) but the acting authoritative and talking down to people has got to stop and you know exactly who you are.
