One of the things you learn as a parent of a newborn is to not react every time they cry. Sure, there are times you have to get up and soothe or say “No No”, and when you do that is what judgment is and grandparents are for, but you just cannot get flustered every time your child’s wail presses your invisible buttons. Instead you need to grit your teeth, and let the tantrum blow out by itself, knowing fully well that if you give in, the next episode will be worse, because the baby will have realised that they succeeded in what they were trying to do, which is to get your attention.
