Is 9 months old to early...

...to start having temper tantrums? If I take anything away from my daughter she throws a screaming fit, jumps up and down, etc. Like a full blown tember tantrum. She'll be 9 months on Saturday. Is this normal? I thought it started well over one. More like the 2 year mark.

My ped. actually told me that at 9 months is when I should expect some tantrums...especially the whole taking things away from them, etc. He even said that some babies go so far as to bang their heads against the floor, wall, etc.!!! Nick is almost 10 months, and he started at 9 months to really throw a fit when I would take something away from him - I was so shocked!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Oh, peace of mind. I was afraid this may be the prelude to a future of massive fits. It always helps to know that She's not the only one.

I know what you are going through...My daughter is now almost two before that tantrum city. Now we give her time outs and the doctor also told me when she bangs her head not to pay any mind....

Nope, right on schedule. Heaven help us if you tell our kid 'NO!' or take away something....

Oh no not at all my daughter has them and there is no stopping them unless I put on barney as soon as she hears the theme to barney she stops and goes straight to the TV

I can't stand that purple dinosaur but she loves him and also I can get things done around the house while she watches him as well so yeah he is a god sent but still annoying
