There is nothing worse than a screaming 16 month old!!!

Unless of course it's a screaming 5 year old! (LOL)

I have three sons, mostly grown, two in their 20's and one who is 14. I have seen it all. I do NOT recommend slapping EVER.

Please do not feel shy about consulting with your pediatrician. Your child could be crying for any number of reasons, that need to be sorted out. Your pediatrician can help you do that. They are trained to help!

It could be something as simple as new teeth coming in, or some kind of fear from a disruption in his daily routine. Or, he could just be a very sensitive soul.

My middle son screamed for years! He is very sensitive. Now, at the age of 22, he is a fine adult male, trying to make his mark on the world. But, what a ride it was.

Best of luck. Feel free to PM me if you wish.
