Hi All
Another issue...
Tia throwing up food during her tantrum phases.She screams,rolls on the floor cries with her lungs all out and then like a giant waterfall everything is out..everywhere..in the carseat,on the bed,on the carpet,in malls..I have becomae a walking talking constant vomit cleaner walking around with a diaper bag and a vomit cleaner supplies bag..
Raj..Sid's tantrums are really nothing compared to Tia-the-terrible's phases.

PLS ALL MOMS READING THIS I NEED DESPARATE IDEAS AND SOLUTIONS.

Sush-the \";bag\"; lady. Vani replied. Sorry, I accidentally pressed submit before I ended...

I don't know if my post was helpful, but I guess we don't have much options other than being patient right??? Often I feel it was much better when he was a baby, though my day was spent in nursing and changing nappies...

Love to Tia the terrific... post some latest snaps na???

Love
Vani Vani replied. You are too funny sush... I was imagining you with a bag... :))))

Rishi will act like he is growing to throw up at the sight of food and milk. We should do a lot of things like showing a book or an ad in the TV and his preferences keep changing. Now he wants the spoon and fork stand with him till he finishes every meal. I read somewhere that we should not distract the child and serve him food, but I am sure the person who wrote it never had to feed a toddler. I can not imagine him sitting in his high chair and feeding by himself. While I feed him, he takes his small toys and will put them in the bow if I don't notice! And if I make him sit on his chair, he will cry to get down, or will try himself. And then he will push the chair down and try to make it sit upside-down and research on it!

The only time he cries and vomits for sure is when I give him any medicine. He will cry even if we just say \";bring him the medicine\"; or if we show him the tonic bottle!

May be you should make sure she burps after she eats... or try to give water only at least after 5 minutes of meal time.

Archana replied. Hi Sush,

It must be very trying for you..
Radha also started throwing tantrums since many weeks now (she being the eldest, or almost eldest, in the group)..
But luckily for me her tantrums are not bad enough to make her throw up food.


She used to become very very cranky in the evening (during day also she is cranky, but very much manageable). And when I reached home she would not be any better, would not let her naani go back home till very late, would not have proper food, sometimes she just drank milk, the list goes on…

But believe me this is phase and it will pass. Radha has improved in last week suddenly. She still throws tantrums but they are not that bad.
And I and hubby have one finding:
She gets all cranky when she feels that we are not giving enough attention to her.
When we reach home after office, she needs our devoted attention. Same applies to our day offs. If we spend little more time in reading, watching TV or talking to each other, she suddenly starts getting very angry. One moment she is playing peacefully beside us and next, fooo… It took us some days to find the trigger of her tantrum.
Of course I cannot claim that always THAT is the reason. But with explicit tries from our side to make her feel that we are WITH her has helped.

And another trick is to distract her.. move her from that place, take her to some other room or to the balcony or widnow.. Show something of her interest OUTSIDE the house like maybe some kids playing, a vehicle, birds, ... anything, play with some toy with her. I know most of the time she would be like throwing herself on floor, arching her body etc but try not to get distressed when she does that, just hold her strongly so that she does not hurt herself. It makes a difference when you are calm while she is having tantrum, and importantly you do not get angry with her, but try to engage her is something else as if NOTHING has happened. She will soon understand that it does not \";affect\"; you when she throws tantrums and might calm down quickly or might change her strategy ;-)

I do not know if I have offered any real help. But have put down the thoughts just as they came to my mind when I read abt Tia's (and other bachhu's) crankiness and compared the situations with Radha...

All the best!
and love to Tia the tigress :-)
