Awful tantrums out of nowhere

Please tell me I’m not alone. My little boy the last week has had some horrendous tantrums. It can be anything from taking something off him he shouldn’t have, sometimes in his high hair or just at completely random times. One yesterday lasted about 15 minutes and no matter what I did there was no settling him. I think his teeth could be bugging him and unsure if he is maybe going through a growth spurt as he seems hungry so much more frequently. He is also far more clingy to me than normal. Is there anything I can do to help him during these times or are they normal? He’s never really been like this so a bit of a shock 😩

Yes we’re are in leap 10 apparently the worst leap to have!! We also are going through crying and not sleeping again x

We’ve had this recently but we’re out the other end of it now thankfully. He did have two molars pop through but I think there was a lot going on for him developmental wise too. I’ve now started to involve him in as much as possible. Helping make food before eating it, helping teach him to wipe his own face and hands, letting him open deliveries, helping me with the nappy caddy for changes. It’s all been really helping

@Sophie can I ask how long it roughly lasted? Just curious if I should prepare myself over Christmas 😂 also great tip about including them in things!

We had around 4 weeks of it tbh. Back arching, crying and screaming for long periods without stopping. As you say, seemingly completely randomly at times. It was sooo draining - I hope you’re doing okay! Xx I don’t think anything stopped it, it just seemed like a wave he had to ride when kind of battling between getting independence but also wanting his mummy/daddy. Once out the other end we’ve been doing much more independent stuff with him and making sure to offer “quiet time” with cuddles too ☺️
