Yep! I have a very strong willed (read: stubborn, pig headed) DD who will be 1 this week. It was cute for, ummmm, the first five seconds!
She can really bung it on and I've found either distracting her with something else (but not bowing to her requirement!) or simply walking away and leaving her works for us.
I always try distraction first but if I'm frustrated or know I'm going to get cross at her, I just walk away and listen out to make sure she stops.
Yeah, at this age distraction is often still quite effective.
Is she hungry? DS would get very cranky at times and it was about that age that I discovered quite by accident that it was because he was hungry.
i hadn't thought about her being hungry! quite possibly as it is usually around nap time (so obviously tired as well) that she cracks it but she has started to cut down her bottles and has completely cut out her afternoon bottle so could def be hungry...thanks!
