What do you do with a 15 months old girl who holds her breath till she gets what she wants!?

You ignore her. She won't KILL herself, her body will react, and she'll panic. Just pretend to leave the room! That way, she can't try to get any attention.

You let her hold her breath. Once a person passes out, they start breathingon theirown again. Then, when she comes to, youput her ina time out or enact some other consequnce for unacceptable behaviour. ALWAYS have the consequence ready. otherwise she will go from holding her breath to more destructive things. But let her hold her breath....leave the room and ignore her.

You can't give in to her because she'll just do it more and then she kows if I hold my breath I get whatever I want and you have even more problems as she gets older. She's not going to kill herself. She'll learn that is not execptable to do and she won't get her way and sometimes no is no. She has to know that mom and dad make the rules. If you don't nip this in the butt now YOu're going to have big problems later. Good luck with her!
