How often does your baby cry then turned into a scream fest? Mine recently has joined a cry fest...Crying all the time...Either it's teething, falling on his butt from trying to walk, not wanting someone or something or just because he can....It's best a test and I'm doing good so far. I do console him if it is a serious matter but if he is smacking his arms around and screaming crying I let him throw his fit. He recently threw his body down yesterday and slammed his arms and feet on the ground. I hope this phase passes quickly...
