[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I think what happens is that you assume your baby is more advanced and developed than she really is. She is not 3 or 4 y.o., she is merely 8 months old. She just learned that she can express her wishes and desires, but is not capable of regulating herself when these wishes are rejected. She does not yet understand that you might be busy to cater to her, she does not know that when you don't want solids you say "no thank you" and so on. She is upset (rightfully so), because she does not get what she want. Plus, as adults, we have more freedom to get what we want, make decisions, etc. She does not have these freedoms yet and you are her outlet to make her desires happen. Try to be compassionate, see how tiny she still is, imagine that her brain development and is on par with her physical development and cut her some slack. Also, make someone babysit and relax. Good luck![/quote]
