Beware of these baby tantrum risks

Tantrums happen when you have a baby, but you can watch for signs of impending tantrums then attempt to stop tantrums before they start.

The Nemours Foundation notes that any of the following may trigger a baby temper tantrum:

• Fatigue or discomfort.
• Lack of attention.
• Frustration.
• The need for control and independence.
• Wanting something they can't have.

From personal experience, I'm going to suggest you watch out for the temper tantrum triggers below as well...

• What you're eating or drinking while breastfeeding can cause a tantrum.
• Less vocal babies or late talkers may lash out with a tantrum because you can't understand them. This is when baby sign language can come in handy.
• Patience is hard for babies and can make them explode into tantrum world. Teach patience from the start to help avoid this.
• Bad clothing can really irk a baby. Bad clothing for some babies is, of course different from bad clothing for other babies. My son, for example, hated hats with a passion. Some babies hate socks. Avoid bad clothing when possible.
• Over-stimulation is a big tantrum issue for babies. Babies do need some downtime too, just like adults.
• Your baby might have colic.
