[Lily189]

Hi everyone my daughter will be 7 months on the 10th August shes been a really unsettled and I feel awful saying it gurny baby from birth shes was diagnosed with cmpa at 3 months and since changing milk her stomach has all settled
But she is definitely throwing tantrums she screams at me if I leave the room or play with my 1 year old son if I lift her shes happy for around 5 mins then the crying fussing starts again we try everything with her nothing seems keep her happy for long I feel awful because she so much hard work and my day is filled trying to please her my partner thinks we need start putting her in her cot when she throws these crying fits and leave her cry it out I just dont think I can do that but also dont want this to be a perment thing
Anyone any ideas I didnt even think babies this young act this way but she deffo is and mostly does it to me

All help and advice be great tia

Could she be teething. Some babies just need cuddles more than others

She's far too young to be doing anything on purpose. Don't leave a 7mo baby to cry on her own in her cot to make some sort of point. She won't understand it and it will do more harm than good.

She is not throwing tantrums at 7 months old. She's not developmentally capable of that. Her feelings are basic and raw, you are her focus in life and at exactly this age she is realising she is physically independent of you, which will cause her anxiety as she learns to manage that. Don't leave her to cry it out. You'll make her more anxious not less or worse still she will lose hope entirely that you are always going to be there for her. It's a stage. I'm not unsympathetic, my dd was exactly the same. I had her in a sling so that I could get anything done. Could you do that or a bouncy chair so that she can be down in floor level when you're playing with your other child?

I've tryed all this even when I'm holding her after about 10 mins shell start the crying again it's so hard I dont leave her to cry but everyone around me is telling me I'm causing her to be a spolit baby
I cant go out on wee days out with kids because shell bot stay settled long enough just hoping I can find ways to settle her let her enjoy things too

My DS was like this as a baby. Really, really unsettled, difficult to please and demanding - both of me and of the stimulation he was being exposed to. Hated being put down but also hated being cuddled or worn in a sling - he practically wanted to be carried around facing the world at arms length. Fussed massively before every developmental milestone. I still can’t quite believe it if I see a baby on their pram/bouncer/play mat merrily cooing away. DS would never do that. He’s thrash around and squawk and cry until he was picked up…and then he’s continue to squawk and cry.

I’m sorry to say, but it’s just a (very difficult) variation of normal. I’m assuming you’ve read about the concept of ‘high needs babies’ - if not look it up. All I can say is DS got exponentially better when he could walk and talk. He really hated being a baby and has settled so much since becoming a toddler.His first year was extremely difficult and nearly broke me in two, but he’s been a breeze since his first birthday really.

oh fgs she’s a baby!!! She’s not having tantrums nor is she doing anything on purpose. You also can not ‘spoil’ a baby!

do not leave her to cry, that’s just cruel.
