Can babies have temper tantrums at 4 months old? My baby has crying fits even if diaper is changed , he is fed , and rocked. No it's ear infection or anything ...

Question

Answer

Could be colic.  Def too young for a temper tantrum.

Answer

I mean not a temper tantrum but they could be crying because they’re uncomfortable, want stimulation/attention, want to be held... lots of reasons other than just the basic needs but they’re not mature enough to be “throwing a tantrum” intentionally at all they’re just crying because that’s the only way they can communicate that they’re unhappy.

Answer

It’s not a temper tantrum due to anger.

Answer

Could still be PURPLE crying (google it). PURPLE crying can continue until around 4 months. Just make sure you check babies fingers and toes for hair wrapped around them, and if it continues, see a pediatrician.  Baby could be not feeling well.

Answer

Is baby arching back? Could be gas.

Answer

Could have gas, tired but cant sleep, upset stomach, super bored and wants to play, in need of stimulation, etc. babies cry for a reason, they don’t have temper tantrum’s until that understand “no” aha.

Answer

It could be colic, but babies around ho through a sleep regression and major developmental leap, as well as potential teething at this age. There is a lot going on for that lil bub so I’m sure it’s frustrating, but no they’re not having a tantrum x

Answer

How does he sleep? It could be the 4 month sleep regression when they usually are really fussy and not sleeping as they did before that

Answer

My 4mo is more cry-ey, I’ve noticed she’s been crying for food more often, and I have been missing her tired cues and she’s been getting over tired. 
So for me, either feeding some more, or getting her down to sleep (this involves rocking or baby wearing to get her drowsy, or if it’s too late and she’s over tired, sitting with her as she cries and wears herself out).
Usually if they are having intense events like these, they are going through some big growth events too. I had a nightmare day with my girl last week and someone noticed her face looked different a few days later?!
