Hiya - well the subject line says it all. My 6 month old DS (who was one month prem) has developed a pretty nasty temper. He is normally adorable and smiley and happy baby but increasingly lately if something sets him off he has a horrible temper tantrum. It's really angry and he screams at the top of his lungs.
Is this normal for a 6 month old? He is my first baby so I dont know. Some friends have remarked on it as if it is abnormal. I am a little worried because mental illness runs in the family and a part of me is scared he has a serious problem although I think logically that is pretty drastic stuff for a 6 month old. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
