9 month old temper tantrums?

My little red head has a temper to go along with her red hair...she's 9 months old and can throw a fit better than most 2 year olds. Forget about changing her diaper, she fights you tooth and nail the entire time, while strapped down on the changing table she manages to pull herself over and it takes two of us pinning her down to get the job done. What in the world can I do to chill her out?!?!

Reply:when she gets angry like that take a damp cloth and gently wipe it on her face, then tell her to shhh in a calming voice.





good luck.
Reply:Let her sit there for a bit. Figure out what is making this such a terrible experience. Is her skin sensitive and the wipes too harsh? What?





Wait until she calms down, and make it a game. I give my son a wipe to use. Talk to her, sing to her, and have fun!!
Reply:Wow... is it just because she doesnt want her diaper changed? Maybe try giving her more baths.. maybe it is painful to be changed and that is why she is fighting you... Or when she has a bowel movement, throw her in the tub. You can clean her while she plays... It might also take the pain away.......
Reply:At all times during the diaper change temper tantrums, stay calm, don't yell, talk softly and try and tickle or kiss her belly ... something to distract.





For the other tantrums, they know how to get your attention BECAUSE we showed them at birth when they would cry. We would run to them instantly and pick them up ... and although they are young, they know how to work the parents.





There is a few videos on You Tube about temper tantrums and when the child would go into them, the parents walked out of the room. When the child realized the parents weren't in the room, he would get up off the floor without crying and then when he spotted his parents he went right into the temper tantrum. I thought, what a great idea that was and wished I did this years ago.
Reply:Get down there and throw one with her. I've never tried this but my friend said it worked great with her son. As soon as he realized that the tantrum wasn't going to accomplish anything, he stopped them. When my son started I just walked away from him and he stopped.
Reply:The very first time my son every threw a fit I stopped what I was doing, looked at him like what are you doing and walked out of the room until he was done. When he figured out that it wasn't going to get him what he wanted he stopped and came to find me. I treated him as if nothing had happened and he never did it again. Best of luck to you with the fiery red headed daughter of yours. God Bless you.
Reply:My son had the turning blue kind of temper tantrums and we found out he was allergic to milk. It's worth a try, Just with hold one food (like milk, wheat, corn) at a time for a few days each and see if things improve as a result.
Reply:I know this is going to sound awful. Have you tried letting her sit in the messey diaper for a little bit ? After they develop a rash it tends to help with the changing process. Have you tried making it a game like for her ?
Reply:Try it on the floor. Make sure she is fed first and not tired. I am guessing that she knows that people are going to hold her down and that is scary and so she is trying to get away. She doesn't understand cause and effect. Just put her on the floor, get her diaper off and wipe and let her turn over for a little bit then put it on fast.
