What should I do with my little girl today. She seems to bored even though I read storys and I play with her.

But she keeps squealing!!! It's annoying!! What should i do

What should i do though about her boredment because its raining outside

she isnt sick!!!! i have alredy been to the dr's

i checked her clothing, her temp, her nappy but it isnt it

Answer 1

She's only excercising her vocal chords. My boy used to squeal in such a high pitch we found it hilarious.

For entertainment if she's crawling or close to it put her on the floor with toys around her,just out of her reach ,she'll exhaust herself trying to get them. Floor and tummy time is the best,and you can relax with a cup of coffee while watching her.

Answer 2

Hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!! She's at the age where she really loves to hear herself and all the noises she can make. She will also continue to make any noise that you react to. It's the basis of cause and effect.

It will change when she learns a new sound or discovers she can perform a new task. As far as bored..... it really takes a lot for a 6 month old to be bored. She may just be in a relaxed state. Not every moment of the day has to be filled with laughter and excitement. If you have done everything that she likes to do, why not include her in the things that you like to do? Or even in the everyday things like folding laundry..play peekaboo with the towels before you put them away.. or give her some plastic dishes to explore with a plastic serving spoon while you put away dishes. She will begin to notice the everyday duties that are done to keep up the house.

She most likely is just going to happy to be with you whatever you are doing. Enjoy your time with her as it goes by so fast, next thing you know she'll be in grade school.

I tell my baby girl (9-mths) "No, that's not nice" and to use her inside voice, when she starts screeching. She has no idea what I'm saying, but I figure it can't hurt, because that's what I'll be saying when she CAN understand later.

Then I try to distract her by whispering, or repeating her noises in a really quiet voice. Sometimes she'll mimic me and do it quietly rather than screaming, then I can distract her further and get her playing with a toy or reading and she'll forget about the squealing for awhile.

It does make you insane though when you can't reason with these little people!! Got any Baby Einstein videos? They sure get my baby's attention for 20 minutes! Or a TV station/channel with kids music on it? Sing along - she doesn't care what you sound like and will probably love it.

Good luck!

ahhhh the joys of vocal cords. your daughter has discovered them!!! My guy is 8 months old and has been screaming (for fun) since he was about 5 months. and he doesnt do it every 10-20, he does it alll the time....especially if hes in a confind space like his highchair or excersaucer. So, get used to it, it only gets louder and more annoying :)

As for bordem, if you haven't already, get her a exersaucer-its a stationary wobbly walker-like toy that has toys all around the seat to keep her occupyied. I got one for my guy and he LOVES it. Also, get a few of those baby einstein movies, they can help entertain for a little bit too. Put her on a blanket in the middle of a room and surround her with toys, all different types. every time she moves she find a new and exciting thing to play with and since she cant crawl, she'll just play with what shes got.

good luck!!!

Answer 5

You should know how to interpret her cries by now. Is this crying related to hunger, thirst, uncomfortable clothing, something sticking or irritating her? Check her clothing. If wearing socks for booties, take them off and check for loose threads that might irritate between her toes. Is she too warm or cold? Is she sleeping regularly? Does she have fever or other sign of infection? Is she batting at her ears? This one could indicate an ear infection which is common in infants. Use your instincts mom. You know your baby now.

It is difficult for us to assess. I am confused because you say she is squealing, but that could be just vocalization. If you rule out illness or discomfort due to hunger, etc, realize babies like to do this. They go from quiet cooing to squeals. This indicates she is happy, not bored. Pick her up or lean over her face and answer her back! Try to make the exact vocalization. This teaches her language, believe it or not! She learns to communicate. Make exaggerated facial expressions during this type of play.

Answer 6

when you say squeeling how do you mean?? crying with pain or squeeling with excitement or just being noisey, they squeel when they start to find there voice they like new noises, if its a painful cry i think you would probably know, check for teething, are her cheeks red??? if she was ill i would think she'd be crying all the time and not at intervals, but if your so unsure the best thing to do is to take her to see the doctor, its better to be safe than sorry where babies and children are concerned, if the doctor says she's ok then i would think she's bored, her little mind is learning new things but if you do the same things day in day out then she will be bored

good luck

Answer 7

you definetly want to keep her little mind active. my daughter was the same way, had more energy than i knew what to do with. but your daughter does need to learn to play on her own, and not just rely on mommy for entertainment. so at this age you can do ten minutes of play alone time. give her some of her fav toys and some new ones, and let her play all alone without you in the room hovering. and even if she gets upset, let her be (unless its that horrible "somethings happened" cry) you'll be glad when she's older that you did this and she doesn't mind playing by herself when you have laundry to do.

Answer 8

The only thing that worked with my kids and my grandkids is the bouncy bouncy when I walked with them.

If you are really going crazy get some baby tylnol and give her the precribed dosage on the bottle. She could be having an upset stomach or headache and the tylonol with relax her so she will sleep

Answer 9

you won't like this answer

ok.. you want her to stop.. she just wont.. what on earth do you do??

solution.. fool her. pretend what she is doing (her squealing) is making you happy and exciting you.. and you want to join in the fun too.

but very gently.. because you do not want to harm tender ears.

well.. you know how a child who does not want to hear something a little too loud will put their hands over their ears.. so remember.. very sensative ears

but if her squealing makes you enjoy squealing along with her but your squealing is a little too loud. she will learn quickly that when she stops squealing.. you will stop to!

so you won that !! she will be happy to be quiet rather than getting you started again with that slightly uncomfortable loud screachey voice of yours!

my hearing was perhaps a little too good when i was a wee baby. my mother used to hold me close and sing lovingly. i used to push her face away. i was the only child of her 5 children who ever did that to her.. she could not sing to me.

i had to tell her years later when she brought it up.. how it kind of saddened her.. that she could not sing to me. i said "mom.. i think your voice must have been a little too loud to me. causing my ears to feel a little uncomfortable.. that's all.." & we laughted

Answer 10

I havn't read what every one else has said yet , I will , and edit , but what I would do right now , is put that baby of yours in a pram, get you , and it outside ,and go for a walk .
Hopefully the motion of the pram will make your child sleep , and setttle you down .
Good luck
