Hi,

Good advice so far, but just wanted to suggest that it may not be that he has an aggression problem, rather maybe he was just in a mood at the time. I too would guess teething?

By that age babies do start to cry differently depending on what type of upset it is. And you can sorta tell an angry cry from a tired/uncomfortable cry. My DD is around that age and is as easy going as they come but if all points on the 'Tanty Checklist' have been checked off, she's been known to throw a baby wobbly. Like if she's tired, hungry, hot and sticky and I don't attend to her...I've been head butted, kicked hair pulled and scratched on occasions when I can see she's angry and frustrated. Most likely it's a phase and he'll go back to being your sweet little angel in no time.
