You're being a mother....a worrier, it's okay.

Seriously...it's okay.

What I've sort of read up and learned from my best friend who has a career in child development is babies at that age are unable to express emotion well, yet. If that makes sense. They are still mastering self emotion and can become confused by what they feel...so they'll react in the way they do know and that is screaming, tantrums, frustration.

My little boy is four and is finally exiting the tantrum behavior. Don't get me wrong he still gets frustrated, but we talk...and I help he realize he is angry..and that it's okay. Now for my daughter (turning 3 beg. April) , she's still becoming aware of her emotions.

Don't worry yourself into an ulcer. Talk to the Doc and ask questions...there's nothing wrong with that. Research toddler behavior...do what you have to till you feel comfortable again.
