Anybody else’s baby getting a tude?

Question

I’m getting the feeling my baby is starting to be a bit dramatic. Anytime he doesn’t get what he wants right when he wants it. He FREAKS OUT. He’s at an 11. When at best it’s a 5 situation. Like everything takes the worst crying session. Starting to think it’s drama/an attitude creeping in.

Answer

It’s not drama or attitude, they’re just learning about object permanence at the moment :) my baby cries sometimes when I literally just turn my face away from him hahaha

Answer

His face everytime he gets put into his car seat he gets an instant attitude and doesn’t want to be bothered trust me I know the feeling

Answer

From The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding: ““Just like us, babies come in all kinds of personalities. “Sparklers” are babies who are doing, fussing, and demanding all the time. They often have minor physical discomforts that they need distraction from—a food sensitivity or cranky intestines—or maybe it’s just their personality. Tantrums come easily because they’re already slightly on edge. They are high-energy and high-maintenance, always seeking brain stimulation in order to shine their brightest.
“Orchids” are also high-need. They may find many environments overly stimulating, confusing, or scary and they need their mother’s soothing presence more than some other babies. These are the babies who can’t leave their mother’s lap easily, who don’t rush over to the other children at nursery school, who maybe can’t handle nursery school at an age when other kids can. They wilt if they’re yelled at or overstressed, and they blossom with tender care. Just like an orchid.
The time you put into a high-energy or high-need baby is never wasted. You’re helping him lay down nerve pathways that may land him that PhD when he’s older. Do your best to keep him happy so that you’re both happier, and know that a little growth and maturation go a long way toward lessening the needs.”

My son is for sure! They are testing us and also developing their personalities! It’s been a trying for us, our son has this scream thing he does when dissatisfied as well!

Answer

We’ve got drama in our house too. We keep joking that our little E’s first words will be “I do it myself!” While it’s exhausting, I keep reminding myself that she’s just so clever that she is thinking and feeling all the things!

Answer

I'm really good at redirecting and distracting since every job I've had for the past 10 years has required it, so she doesn't get super bad because I redirect so quick! Like if it's something she sees and can't have I move it out of sight and quickly give her a raspberry or something to redirect.

Answer

I just started sign language with my baby, hoping it’ll help in a few months with the dramatic cries.

Answer

Definitely think attitude does come into it! My little girl can throw a right strop uf we put her in her car seat when she doesnt want to! She will arch her back and scream 🤦‍♀️ also when she finishes a bottle she will cry it's all gone or after her porridge is finished she will cry theres none left 😂🤦‍♀️
