I am a second time mom to a beautiful 7 month old son who came at 34 weeks. My daughter never screamed, so I am at a total loss and at my WITS END!!
He screams, all the time! And its not a little scream, no, its as loud as he possibly can and the pitch is piercing and painful. I am just waiting for CPS to show up and see if we are beating him, because thats what it sounds like! He does it if he is happy, sad, board, etc. I have no idea how to make him stop. If I ignore him he screams louder, if I firmly tell him 'no', he laughs and does it again.
Any time he starts to babble, my husband and I really pay a lot of attention to him, we babble back in earnest trying to show him that babbles get attention where screaming does not. I seriously need some help though, the high pitched, constant, ear splitting screaming is getting to be too much!! (Don't worry, I never want to hurt him or shake him or anything. It just makes me nuts and I feel sorry for our childless neighbors!))
