My 8 month old daughter is the cutest baby ever.
BUT.. she’s picked up this habit of screaming about everything. Happy, sad, needs something, or just boredom and she’s screaming. We literally can’t eat a meal without being screamed at.
Anyone ever deal with this? Trying to find ideas to stop it. Talking obviously doesn’t work. We try reducing stimulus, which sometimes helps but other times playing some music helps.
It’s driving me crazy! 😅
My girl went through a phase like that. Sometimes a pacifier helped but really we just waited until she decided to stop.
Ya she won’t take a pacifier. I’m really hoping it’s just a phase and we move on
are you worried your baby is stuck at 8 months old and has stopped growing? in what world does this not pass with time? or are you saying you are worried she has an underlying health issue causing her distress?

I'm two years into this. So far the best results are catering (my least favorite), distracting, bringing outside into the cold air, time outs (not super effective), and trying to get her excited about something else. When all wise fails, I sometimes resort to noise canceling head phones. Sometimes wrapping her in my arms and loving her up helps. Take her into a quiet room and try to reset her.
Ya we definitely do these too, with varying levels of success. Sometimes her screams seem to be genuine needs, other times it seems like she’s just doing it for fun 😅
We have a 6yo son too, so for sure there are times she just needs space and a reset.
