My 8 month old DD throws the worst tantrum I've ever seen and I don't know how to deal with them. It's mainly because she wants to be picked up and clingy is an under statement, often she won't even let me put her in the floor for a second. If you couldn't see her you would think she was being hurt!
Me on my own, I would just give in to it to get some peace but it's causing problems in my relationship with Dh as he says I pick her up too much (and have helped create the problem). We need to sort it out. I've spoken to the doc who says she isn't I'll (did have silent reflux, but she just wants attention).
Last night she screamed her head off for 1.5 hours in the middle of the night, it sounded terrible but eventually she went back to sleep. Sometimes she cries so much she can barely breathe, it's awful to watch and seems to be getting worse. It's before each nap, at bed time, when she is a little tired, nappy changed, or often who knows why!
Giving into her isn't an option for me any mOre so has anyone experienced this and did anything work for you?
Thanks so much.
