On the downside of that advice when I used to tell ex-MrsLT "och its just a phase" she would not react well to that advice (even tho it was actually correct)

I guess its just trial and error with varying sleep, naps, food and attention as wll as some boundaries as to what is acceptable and what is not. You need to watch that you are not inadvertently rewarding this behavoir with attention.

This age 2-3 is not called the terrible twos for nowt and they can be the terrible 3's too

I have tried telling myself its just a phase..thats how I have got through it all so far. But its been far too long now and I really do feel at somepoint soon I will end up in the nut house through all of it.

We got through her colicky stage fine, but that was just 4 hours of screaming everynight, then it stopped. Went on for like 2 months, but we always knew it would end by about 10pm. This does not stop. Ever.
