14mo having 60-70 tantrums a day

12–18 Months

Please help me. My 14mo has always been a ‘difficult baby’ and is having 60-70 tantrums per day. They can be small or major, over something obvious (I won’t let her do something dangerous) or something completely unknown.

I am not coping well with this. It’s relentless and nothing seems to stop them. I’m not giving into the tantrums by giving her what she wants but whether I provide comfort or ignore them it doesn’t seem to change anything.

I’m now at a loss of the best way to handle this and am losing my patience with her regularly which I don’t like.

Please - any tips or words of encouragement? Is this normal?! I feels like a lot but most of my friends kids of a similar age are your typical ‘easy’ baby
