+1000 Every parent knows that babies get more tired and fussy and tantrummy after their shots. Ignore that childless poster. The infestation of non-parents on this board is nuts, and they are so obvious with their idiotic takes. You'd think they'd figure out how to post like a real parent given how frequently they lurk. |

| Sounds sensory to me. Which could be something she outgrows or learns to manage or could be a sign of a larger diagnosis. Definitely check with ped as soon as you can so you are prepared either way. |

Our dd had these types of complete melt downs (tantrum is too mild to adequately describe it) starting at age 3 and it continued for at least 2 years. The only way to describe her was demonic, like the exorcist, seriously. And usually she would end up vomiting from the intensity of it as well. When we finally started researching therapists to help her was around the same time she magically stopped having the melt downs. She stopped around 5.5 when she started Kindergarten funny enough and hasn’t had one for a year. I chock it up to all the big changes going on due to Covid, preschool stopping and starting all the time, followed by a cross country move and starting at a new preschool where she wasn’t very happy.
We know she’s highly sensitive and that’s part of her personality with probably some anxiety. Having a year of regularity has changed her into a new child. |

OP here — baby is doing much better. She was sick and now that she’s feeling better the scary screaming fits seem to have gone away. My older child never screamed or cried over illness so I didn’t think to connect them.
I’ll keep an eye out for autism/adhd in the future. |

Hi PP. Not OP, but curios what you mean by sensory seeking/regulation behaviors. What did your child do? Thank you. |

| Autism. It was for my DD. But try taking him or her outside or inside as the case may be to change temperature. Worked wonders for my kid. |

Always a prudent question. We have zero evidence that vaccinations have no side effects. |

Yes. The public's been sold a bill of goods. |

| My daughter did this but it lasted much longer than 10-15 minutes. She has autism, anxiety, and ADHD. She has sensory sensitivities that sometimes would set her off when she was little, otherwise she was hungry or tired. Or someone told her no! She's doing great now. She's 7. |

| Yes, and she had undiagnosed celiac and reflux. Tantrums were related to stomach pain. |

One tight slap. Bad behavior should always come with harsh consequences.
Oh no! You don't want to spank your kid? Yes, you can still raise a wonderful child who never misbehaves without resorting to occasional spanking or punishments. The way to do that is to be extremely attentive and very nurturing to them 24/7. |

| Sounds like she needs a spanking and a time out. She will learn quick that’s not appropriate behavior. |
