Baby keeps screaming! Is it normal?
Dear mummies, my 9.5 mths baby recently learnt how to scream. And she is screaming uncontrollably, esp when she wants people to carry, doesn't want to eat something or when you take something away from her. Is this normal?
Yes . She discover a new skill and is testing out. And yes, she will discover she can use this to show her unhappiness. So you must remain calm & never scream back. Cos if u scream, she will scream even louder. I talk to her in a soft tone and she stop her screaming . But, she will start her again if things don’t go her way. It’s normal. Model what u want her behaviour to be, distract her etc. And also the reactions adults give her plays a part. If she realise that her screaming catches ur attention, she will do it too.

yes normal, my 10m screaming too but (personally) it’s time to instill discipline i.e. we don’t let her get her way at times
