7mo Tantrumming?

It is normal but it is not a tantrum as such, he is just reacting to stuff he doesn't like. I found that big hugs(even if you don't feel like it) helped.

It is not a tanrtum as such, at 7MO he doesn't have any words to say what he feels and he is going through a huge developmental stage at this point, sitting, crawling, cruising walking and talking are all in his wee head just now and he is probably frustrated. He has all these things in his head and knows the theory behind them all but very little of the practical and he is probably pretty peed off.
DD was very frustrated at many points around this age and it doen't appear to have had any effect on her tantrums in fact she very rarley has ever had a tantrum at all as she has got older.

No help I'm afraid - just a message of sympathy, my 7MO is doing exactly the same thing - getting him dressed is a nightmare!

jetjets dd is 7 months also and doing exactly the same thing. Yelling at all sorts of things that previously didn't bother her - having clothes put on, being strapped in the car seat, dropping a toy.

I think she is getting frustrated, rather than throwing a tantrum as such. I find distraction is the key - giving her something to play with while I am changing her or trying to get things done. She seems to have a memory like a goldfish and forgets the strop she was in as soon as she has something else to focus on!

Would love to sya the geting dressed thing gets better lo but ds is 14 months and an even bigger nightmare cause he can get away from me now he is mobile and it is awful getting him dressed and his nappy changed.

Over here too! Its a bit draining, my DS keeps waking through the night, i can't even put him in his cot he just wakes up and starts sreaming again, he knows what he doesn't want and arches his back when I pick him up. Very tiring, as he cries to be picked up as well. Changing him is a nightmare an he mnaged to wee on himself for the first time since a newborn, cos he was wriggling about that much it took me an extra while to get his nappy on! Arrgh, obviously from this rant, I have no advice apart from sympathy.
Sorry for the moan.
