DD has been doing it for the last 4ish months so from 10 months ... that it was noticable and a tanty.
Her latest trick is a high pitched squeal in protest, man talk about giving Mariah a run for her money!!
oh the dreaded tantrums hey!! I think often they do start earlier than we expect. One day we have little babies and the next we have tantrum throwing monsters!!
My DD started hers early, to be honest I can't really say exactly when as from day 1 she has always been excellent and letting me know she is not happy about something and it has gradually just progressed from that! But we have been having major tantrums for many many months. I think it was around my 9 month check up that I aksed my CHN what I could do during the tantrums and she said just to try and distract her and try not to let it stress me out too much because it will pass. At that age there is so much going on for them in terms of their development - their poor little brains must be working overtime to process all of the information and they are also learning to assert their independence and their feelings so its no wonder they have tantrums!
DDs full blown tanties (ie on the floor kicking and punching, ) started a month or so ago, around 14-15 months. I thought they came at two but apparently not. Maybe they just get worse. Argh!!!!!!!
ETA Protesting started a lot earlier but I can't remember when! The car seat and pram were the first major rejections on her list but she quickly learnt fighting them was a losing battle. Food, on the other hand is a different matter especially as she just clamps her mouth shut and shakes her head ('no, no, no') when she doesn't want to eat

DS1 never really threw many tantrums until later on (closer to 3) DS2 started them at about 9 months, full blown roll around on the floor tantrum, once he could stand it turned to stomping ones. He throws some real doozies now!
Yep, DS has little tantrums already too! Mainly when someone takes something from him that he wanted! I have always found distraction the best method at this age through till they have the ability to reason a bit more. Don't worry, you aren't creating a monster!
Miss 3 has been tantrumming in style for an awfully long time, usually when we say 'no' to something she really wants (no, you can't have cornflakes and icecream for lunch) and Miss 10 has long since upgraded from tantrums to snits. I'm hoping Mr Happy Smileypants continues on his current merry path and stays tantrum free until he is, oh, 30.
