Throwing a wobbler when I take something away?!
in Baby
Well DD has decided to start being a little madam when I take things away from her......I mean like mobile phones, remotes, etc or even when I remove her from somewhere I don't want her to be (like putting her hands in the cat food bowl!!)
She flaps her arms about & then sobs and sobs!! This is sooooo unlike her, she's always been very chilled! She almost 8 months and crawling like crazy.
Is this just a phase she's learnt with her new crawling skill?? Is there anything I can do distraction wise? Aaggghhh!!

For us, distraction worked a treat until she was old enough to comprehend why things were being taken away when we explained. Having something to 'swap' that she CAN have is helpful.
I also offer my best parenting tip for cat owners - once your baby can crawl, switch to a high quality expensive dry food. It means you can ensure your child at least gets some top notch nutrition.....
Lol MrsSetters - thankfully it's the dried Purina One cat food

I have found distraction definitely the best option. She is getting better. Today I have bought her her own baby keys and mobile phone and that seems to be working for now.
What I don't want to do is hide everything from her. I think it is important for them to learn what they can and can't play with (although too young to comprehend that yet!)
