annoyed by baby's behavior

My little one just turned 11 months old, and lately, I've been feeling really bothered and annoyed by some of his behaviors. It seems like he's been extra fussy, clingy, and throwing more tantrums than usual. I know it's all part of his development, but it's really wearing me down. I love my baby more than anything, but sometimes it's just overwhelming, you know? I'm trying my best to stay patient and understanding, but some days are really tough. what should i do?

Have someone to take over when it’s overwhelming. Or if you’re alone with baby, put baby in a safe place so you can walk away for a quick breather.
