So DS is completely gorgeous, and sweet and empathetic most of the time. But about twice a day he completely loses it. Nothing in particular which sets him off - could be a thing really, usually not getting his own way - and he goes ballistic. And recently, the tantrums are getting worse. He is kicking and biting and hitting. And he is strong. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone have any experience/ recommendations please?
Worth saying that he is a terrible eater. He just is never interested in eating - always has something better and more interesting to do. Trying to get him to sit at the table ALWAYS triggers a tantrum. But if I shovel food in his mouth while he is doing something else, he'll eat. He is also still obsessed with milk in a bottle, and is clearly getting his fuel from it. And, unsurprisingly, trying to reduce/ withdraw causes major tantrums.
Pretty clear that all these are related. I just don't know what to do! Urgghhhhh
