Loooong tantrum (30-50 mins)!? Anyone else?

K

Hi mamas!! Liam is very happy and chill 98% of the time but every now and again (3-4 times in the last month), he has had full blown meltdowns where he is completely inconsolable. Most of these outbursts happen after he wakes up from his nap or when he is super tired. Is this normal???

We have tried everything I can think of:

👉🏻consoling by sympathizing with him: “I see you’re upset, mama is here.”

👉🏻changing the scenery by going in different room or outside

👉🏻holding him

👉🏻putting down in crib but staying in the room

👉🏻offering food

👉🏻offering water

👉🏻distraction (wiggles even though we limit screen time very much, looking at dogs, etc)

👉🏻rocking

👉🏻singing

👉🏻back rubs

We end up just holding him and pacing until he calms down on his own. But it was literally 50 minutes yesterday! HELP!!
