Hi mums,
So I have a problem. I have a lovely 6 month old boy who I absolutely adore. He is a very engaged child, chatty and hitting all his milestones. The problem is that he has the mother of all tantrums every day!
I'm talking purple, arched back, feet stamping, blood curdling wail! I have NO idea what causes it nor how to help!
When he starts I can't pick him up, distract him, soothe him, anything. I've tried everything and I'm so embarrassed when he does it when we're out.
There doesn't seem to be a trigger- it can happen any time of day. In desperation I've tried the Cry It Out Method and it was hideous- he went on and on for 30 mins- yet no tears? I'm so confused!
Am I spoiling him? Is it possible for him to have tantrums? I want to help him and feel
So useless.
Any advice would be so appreciated!
