Travis is literally getting worse everyday with not wanting to be put down. He wants to be held but doesn't at the same time. He just cries and throws tantrums. We try not to give in but it gets to a point he turns bright red and starts choking himself. And he's so tired but refuses to sleep. Everyone also said they grow out of it and by 6 months it gets better. But that's complete bullshit. I honestly am gonna have a major breakdown cause I don't know what to do.
