Omg I need kid help.

Trying to get her to eat and engaging with her is going to make her tantrum more. Put a cold cloth on her face/back of her neck to calm her down. After she's done tantruming, then try to feed her?

[Booze Raccoon]

She needs sleep. Get her to bed, if she wakes up hungry, give her a midnight snack. At least you'll have a peaceful evening.

[speckledfrog]

I'd just put her to bed. I bet she sleeps right through.

ETA:  and I'm sorry your night is going like this.  We had one like that after we got back from traveling and whoooo boy was it rough.

[iamgrace]

Throw her in bed with a bag of goldfish crackers.

[iamgrace]

No, but really, just put her to bed. If she wakes up hungry feed her. Will she take a drink of milk?

[UnderProtest]

Yeah, I've had this with my girl. There is no coming back from a full on tantrum. Bedtime was the best option. Here is hoping she sleeps all night.

[eb777888]

I have no advice, I don't remember 2's much these days. Just wanted to say I'm sorry

Is she having tummy troubles, maybe?

[eb777888]

Or constipation?

[mandymay]

What about a bath to calm her down? Or will that rile her up more? Put her in her crib until she stops crying and see if she's awake and hungry afterwards?

[ginap]

Poor mama. Do what you can to calm her down and if she will sleep put her to bed.

I had a 2 year old melt down on me about bedtime routine Saturday. Really wanted his mom and I wasn't her. Hysterics crying and fighting me over diaper change and PJs.

So I thought about it and asked if he wanted 1 minute by himself. He sort of nodded. I left the room. Knocked on his door asked if I could come back in. Came back in and things were so much easier. Like a reverse of a time out more like a relax out.

[Deleted]

I was also going to ask about maybe 2 year molars?

But, I agree with putting her to bed. She may surprise you and sleep all night. L has done that before- she wakes up hungry in the morning, but not in the middle of the night.

ETA:  I want to add *hugs*.  It's so tough when they're screaming.  Have a glass of wine after she goes to sleep.

This is a good point. I didn't even realize that Josh was getting his 2 year molars until one had already broken through. I thought he was just being 2. 

And the best thing to do it get her out of the chair to calm down.

This is pretty much how we deal with tantrums.  We tell her that if she needs some time alone to cry that she has to go to her room until she can calm her body down. The night that she lost her fucking mind because we changed her chair location it took 3 sessions of me putting her thrashing and screaming into her room and closing the door until she got over it and came out and was normal again and ate dinner with us. What works for C is telling her that I understand that she is mad/frustrated/sad and that if she needs to sit in her room and cry that is ok but Mommy and Daddy won't listen to her scream at us.

Welll this is hopeless. Get her out of the chair, calm her down, put her to bed, and resign yourself to the midnight food fest.

Yep

Sometimes just a sippy of milk will hold them till morning though.

[Christina]

I'd get a sippy if milk and bring her up to bed. Poor thing. And you too.

Yeah when mine was this tired he slept through the night even if he hadn't eaten - I'd be putting her to bed

Those bastards snuck up on me so many times. For some kids, they start feeling them long before they pop through. G's came in and out.

It's so funny because I was just telling Jillian on Saturday that David had no issues with teething at all until his two year molars. They were rough.

[ohiowan]

Has she gotten her two year molars yet?

eta: I probably should've finished reading first.

No, but she only has 8 teeth. Lol

she has four in the front, and four one year molars I think (at least I think that's a thing). So I imagine she's getting a lot. It's about time!!!

I hope if it is that, they come in easily for her.
