Fussy/Cranky 18 months

Hey guys , my baby is 18 months almost 19 and recently for the last week going on 2 weeks he has been extremely fussy and irritable. He cries over everything, he has been falling out throwing tantrums literally dropping to the floor and banging his legs and arms. He has always been a very independent baby fr. He doesn’t normally cry if you don’t pick him up or hold him. My mom has come over to visit and he has been showing out, Like he has literally been crying so much i can’t even take it. I’m starting to get overwhelmed because it’s nothing physically wrong. He’s eating, he’s pooping, he doesn’t have a fever. He just wants to constantly be picked up and when I don’t pick him up he’s crying. When my mom leaves out the room he’s crying, he’s starting to throw things, hit people & be destructive towards items. He also will throw a fit when you put him down he has never done this. He literally cries if you take the remote, or if you try to give him something. He refuses and starts crying & I honestly don’t know what to do Any suggestions??

I would take breaks like we do when they're fussy infants or when they need a break as kids. It's okay to just put him in his crib, close the door and walk away. That way you know he's in a safe place and you can be away from the noise. Mom's can get over stimulated and need the break. I put my earbuds in if I'm being followed around by a fussy toddler. I have the baby gate between the kitchen and living room. I can still cook, clean and see her while listening to calming music or a podcast etc

I came on the app to post exactly the same thing. I need to know why this is happening bc I am losing my mind with my lo, oddly enough he is fine at my mom’s house (daycare) until we come to pick him up 😓 Today I was off and I just dropped him off at my moms and then in the evening I had my husband help me entertain him

I notice my 19 month old has more tantrums when she has more tv time. She’s more chill on the days we don’t do screen time. It can be a number of things but I think it’s a developmental milestone. They have big emotions and have a hard time expressing it so they only know what to do. I don’t really have any suggestions or advice just want to say you got this!

Maybe something of this could help https://youtu.be/DatgC_kCulU?si=3ghPTGtg2ucKca9Y

Hey mama! I have a very fussy boy as well and the best tips I have for it and what has worked for us is fresh air and water! Take him on a walk in the stroller, let him free play at the park, make a water sensory bin ( it’s messy I know but keeps them occupied for a while) or put the hose/ sprinkles on in your backyard and let him go wild! These things always cheer my boy up and sometimes I realize he’s just bored of the same activities/ toys and needs a switch up!
