Her parents have taken her to the doctor and there is nothing physically wrong with her. They have tried giving her attention and not giving her attention. At this point they just don't know what to do. Since she is so young they want to stop this behavior now before it becomes a habit. right now it has been going on daily for 2 weeks.

I don't beleive its a tamtrum.. children this young don;t even know what that is.... child of this age cry when they need somehting or are in pain. My son did this to me when he was about 6 months old.. he cried it seemed liike non-stop... we thought it was colic turned out he just wasn't getting enough formula.. I would try uping the amout she is eatting, and possaibly she could have gas, teething or a number of other things. Its hard to tell at this age... I would try to narrow it down and talk to the dr again.

A 7 month old infant CANNOT be having a "temper tantrum". It is terrible not to give attention to a baby who is crying. She is not old enough yet to be "playing" anyone for attention. Hold the poor thing, love her and sympathise. It won't last forever. Ya know, you have to take what you get when you have a baby and they aren't all easy babies. Good Luck

She can't tell you what's wrong and I don't believe a baby is spoiled at 7 months or doing anything intentionally.
If it just started I think they need to talk with the doctors more in depth. Maybe she is having gastrointestinal problems.
Something happening, but calling it a tantrum is probably inaccurate.

This is VERY young. I would be getting a second opinion to rule out other things. Then look into a behaviuoral psychologist. But I feel this is really too young for it just to be tantrums

I really don't think that it is a tantrum. Maybe something is bothering her. I would take her to a different doctor. She is only seven months old. She can not possibly know how to get her own way.

Could be separation anxiety... She just wants her mama:)
Also, I would do very thorough medical check up - sometimes girls have urinary infections at very young age, colic (usually towards eve) or reflux...
I have 2 babies - one of them is easy, other used to fuss and cry seemed forever - we would carry him hours on his belly (on the arm). Love pays off:)
Good luck!

I would just try ignoring her. Hopefully when she is throwing the fit if you ignore her she will see that she is not going to get her way by throwing that fit.
Good Luck and God Bless

It may be teething.
