It’s getting HARDER?!
Welp, it was getting easier, but this month….. ever since my baby girl turned 9 months on the 8th, she has been throwing the BIGGEST tantrums! Like, HUUGGEE! She throws herself back, she screams and cries, sometimes for a WHOLE HOUR! I know it’s all communication but geez, it’s exhausting. There’s one when she’s eyeballing my food and I don’t give her a bite, one when she’s hungry, when she’s tired, when she’s not tired but I attempted to put her to sleep. Tell me I’m not the only one. I’ve tried to go based on her cues and feed her and put her down before it’s too late, but then she throws a tantrum for me being too early and her not wanting it. Daddy and I are EXHAUSTED 😅
ETA: she’s not teething, all 6 of her teeth are fully out, just in case anyone thinks that’s what it could be.

My son turns 8 months on the 5th and we’ve been dealing with similar. Throwing tantrums steals before bed. Wakes up for an hour in middle of night screaming for no reason. It’s been 5 days and it’s miserable.
@Ashby @Amber seems like it’s developmental then 😭😭 last night she woke up a few times screaming bloody murder! And I know what you mean, I’m trying to be so understanding but I’m ✨tirreeddd✨ 😭 oh and god FORBID I change her diaper, she thinks I’m dropping her off at the orphanage or something 😭😂
Could she be teething? They get extra fussy and it can be painful for them. It affected my babies eating and general demeanor. We gave her Tylenol a few times and it got better. I think she was just in pain.

I thought I was the only one! My baby started to get so angry his face gets red. Although I do think he’s teething, his top teeth are peeking through. I try to remind myself they are learning big feelings but gosh, it’s hard. A bath seems to help my little! We got this!!
