well my my my it only took her 5.5 months to figure out that screaming at the top of her lungs WORKS she wont always get everything she wants if you stop giving it to her, a spoiled rotten little girl is never attractive, I advise you start getting her to respect some limits, nothing wrong with letting a baby holler now and then! ( I promise if you dont help her break this habit by the time she turns 3 you will out of your mind and she will run your house, the only thing baby should get when screaming is food, diaper change, some interaction and love, not every toy or activity you can think of to entertain her).... oh yeah and talk about setting her up for disappointment when she finds out the rest of the world dont give a damn if she gets what she wants, this will not make for a happy woman at all, shape up mom or its gonna be a very long 18 years (add a few more after she moves back home which is the only place she can be queen!!!!!!)

Your daughter is only 5 1/2 months old, so yes she is demanding and needy You do have the power to start teaching her that her behavior doesn't gain rewards though. She is still a little young to teach her that her screaming and crying don't always get her what she wants. When she hits 1 1/2 yrs you need to start teaching her to control the temper tantrums and that when she has one, you need to not give in to her tantrums. You need to start teaching a child at an early age that tantrums do not bring rewards. When she has a tantrum, you should use time outs and removal of priveledges, like take away toys and things when she has them. If this method does not work, try other methods that you will learn as parenting knowledge increases. You need to remember that it is ok to spank a child as long as you are not beating the child. The difference is that a swat on the butt is not the same as several sharp and hard blows. The later is abuse, and you should refrain from that use. She will take the behavior with her throughout her life if you do not teach her right from wrong, and you will have done a poor job as a parent if you spoil the child by giving into her every whim as she grows.

You're saying your baby girl is 5.5 months all and gets all she wants. I suppose she is not getting everything by herself, but you give her everything. If children see their parents give in to their every will, if they just scream long enough, they will dontinue screaming until you give it to them. You have to set clear boundaries.
But your child being 5,5 months old, I don't know what she could actively request except nourishement and sleep. A barely half a year old baby does not request anything like toys or things like that. It wants comfort from its parents, physical comfort, as the poor thing is still very fragile.
Normally, this characteristics do not tranfer into adulthood, as long as you don't spoil the child when it gets older to *really* demand something.
From your question I supose it is either the first, or even the only child you plan to have. Do not spoil it, or it will become an extremely arrogant and never-satisfied person. the nickname Queen puts her already level with those bitchy girls walking around dressed like whores at barely 13 years old. If you want her to be that way, keep it up. If you want to raise her a decent woman, please change her name so that once she comes to understand what you are saying she will not get an overly dose of ego...
Best of Luck, I know raising a child is not that easy

I am a postpartum nurse and I can tell you babies come out of the womb with distinct personalities. Not to say they cannot change somewhat, but they are all like little snowflakes, each are a little different. However, I've never seen a bossy and queeny five month old, usually they are darling at this age. Five months old is pretty young, they aren't doing a whole lot but sitting up and grabbing things, starting to want to feed themselves. I don't think babies can be "spoiled" at this age.
I have a very headstrong child, she was like the her first day of life and she's still like that at six years old. You might want to avoid the nickname "Queen" so it doesn't become a self fulfilling prophecy. Be firm and consistent with your rules and discipline when she is bad and be sure to play up when she IS good and make a big deal out of it.

You get what you plant. If you plant a spoiled brat you'll get a spoiled brat.Is she REALLY a Queen?,Your only setting her up for failure in the long run, I suggest changing her nick name to something that is less demanding of her.

only so long as you encourage or permit this kinda of behavior, start thinking about ways too correct this problem now and seek advice from other parents and a few books on the subject wont hurt.
just rememberthat those books are only giudes for suggestion of ideas that you might use too correct your problem.

Dear God, I hope not. My 4month old is similar.
From everything i read, you can't spoil a small baby. They are just trying to see if we will fulfill their needs. In a few months we can set boundaries, then they will learn.

It is too early to determine what her personality will be like, she is only5.5 months. Most babies scream to get what they want,that's normal.
