Screaming baby: what are the reasons?

Your baby is no longer crying, now she's screaming. It is the screaming that worries parents the most. Is the baby sick? Is she hungry? Is she having a tantrum or teething?

  • You should know that up to one year of age, crying and screaming are the only way for babies to express themselves.
  • During the first three months, crying can be caused by colic.
  • Gestures accompany the crying, and it takes several dozens of minutes for the baby to calm down.
  • Sometimes some of the crying happens before the baby falls asleep, so don't worry, the baby is in REM sleep.
  • From the third month on, babies learn to call out, irregularly, as if in between cries they were listening for someone to pick them up.
  • Angry and protest cries don't appear until the eighth month and can last up to three years.

My son does that too, let her cry and sooth herself, I let my son cry too but if it's more than 5 minutes then I would pick baby up.
