My LO isn't a super needy baby, but there are some times when he gets really fussy over not liking something. Sometimes, it seems like he's done with whatever I'm having him do, such as practicing sitting, or tummy time, and when he's nursing, if I don't shove the boob in his mouth real fast, he starts fussing big time over that! Now, is this the type of fussiness where I should just give in, or should I have him practice patience? I'm afraid he's gonna throw tantrums in the future (I kinda already consider these tantrums at the moment!)

Patience is waaaaay to much to expect at that age. I'd just do your thing in your time and let him have his feelings about it. Don't rush just to make him happy. If he's doing it while practicing sitting or tummy time, he might truly hate it and not be ready.

DS is 5 months old and I have done the "no sir," "nuh-uh" since he was tinnnnny as kind of a joke and i swear now he obeys! ha! it is hilarious! he will start to cry or pout and i'm like no sir! and he quits everytime.

@sarac: I certainly don't rush, but I think it makes him increasingly more upset! Hahahaha. I'm big on delayed gratification!
@matador84: I wish I had done that too! I'll have to wait for the next baby to start that early, but hopefully if I start that now with DS, he'll get it? (Or become angrier? =P)

my baby is like this too, but I dont rush to do things for her when she does her mini tantrums, I keep saying "Patience is a virtue" to her and its funny because my mom used to say it to me a lot and I hated it

@Mrsbells: I hope that has made you a patient person!
