I know how you feel, we just had an episode like that. Fine to screeching at the top of his lungs, going bright red and crying real tears in the space of about 30 seconds.
After 15 minutes of hysterical screaming I was beginning to panic and was crying right along with him, which doesn't help anyone. We tried everything obvious before turning to the internet which told me something I already knew but didn't think of and I turned on the vacuum cleaner. Which, thank god, calmed him down almost straight away.
He's been sleeping for about 45 minutes now and I'm still shakey and could use a strong drink myself.
There is no way that anyone can be prepared beforehand for the responses that this mothering caper brings.
