Whats going on with my boy? (little bit tmi)

[Janie]

Rhianon, I'd take him to the Dr for the tummy stuff.

As for the tantys, my DS started them at about 13 months........which I was totally unprepared for. Full on arching the back, rolling around on the ground, kicking and screaming tantrums. We know how to handle them a bit better now, well at least for the moment All a part of it hun, welcome to toddlerhood

At 11 months DD would throw herself on the ground and bang her head on the floor if she didn't get her own way. I just let her do it and walked away - she soon realised that the banging hurt and didn't get her anywhere so she stopped but she still has tanties big time.

I would also see the GP about the vomit and poo...

Thanks guys! Well he hasn't vomited since Sunday and his nappy is so much better! I was expecting to find the same, but it was almost back to normal! The only thing I can think of that would have made that happen was.... ice cream. Now now, I didn't give it to him. My grandma and DH's mother. tsk tsk. I could mil out and basically told her no. Looked away and looked back again and she gave him more... grr LISTEN TO ME I AM HIS MOTHER!!

now thats off my chest, I'm disappointed we're into the tantys so early (well I thought it was early - tbh I didn't think it started til they were 2). Just will not go down for a 2nd nap. Has his 1st nap between 9-9:30 til around 11-11:30. Thats it! Today I had planned to get things done, then a migrane happened and I was going to have a nap when he napped.. NOPE! It's harder to deal with a tanty with a migrane . We have a health nurse appt next week, so I'll def be bringing this up.

Glad to hear that the nappies and his tummy seem to be better. As for the sleeps, some babies will just drop them and be fine. The more you fight with him over it the more he is going to fight back. The only thing you can really do is watch for his tired signs and pop him into bed as soon as you see them.

I'm also happy to hear that he is doing better

Just wanted to add a little incident that happend this morning ... regarding the tantrums.

I gave dd her vitamin-syrup and told her to hold the spoon for me. She was sitting on my bed and as I came back to wipe her mouth, I asked for the spoon back. She, being the who she is, placed the spoon firmly under her armpit and said "mine" So I asked again and tried taking it away (OK, I could just have left her with the spoon, but it's sticky with syrup and we had to go to day-care .. what is that saying about picking your battles??) So in the end I took the spoon from her with a polite thank you and WHAM ... she arch her little back and started to throw a tanty. DH was on the bed with us. I left her like that (sort a under his watchfull eyes) and I did not take two steps, when she rolled over twice and off the bed

I felt so bad!! She cried a little and could not decide who is to give chugs and dry tears ... daddy or mommy. But in two minutes time she was back to her old devious self

So watch-out for tantys on your bed ...

Noted, Nadine! He fell off the bed the other day and yeah I felt so bad too! Had a nice red mark too!

Well, not as bad tantrums today, just when I tried to put him in his car seat. Is this normal?
And whinge-y, omg. And clingy. Whats happening? Let go of my legs! I have hot water. I'm baking. I'm trying to get you food. You were happy a couple of minutes ago, pushing the washing basket round the loungeroom.

Sometimes, the only way to make him happy is to give him food, namely fruit. But, then I worry that i'm giving him the wrong idea about food and he's goin to have a bad diet in the future...

He could eat a whole punnet of strawberries, greenery and all if you left it in front of him too long.
