Babies: 9 - 12 Months

WWYD shrieking

Went to dinner tonight with friends and DD just kept shrieking at the top of her lungs.  I am about to do a cross-country flight with her on Wednesday and I do not want to be murdered on the plane.  She does not like paci's and I have tried distracting her...

Re: WWYD shrieking

  • Jack went thru that last month - I think he just liked that he could be really loud. I couldn't get him to stop. Good news - he went from that to laughing hysterically at random things, again - I think he just liked the sound of it! So maybe she'll start that soon:)
  • Good shrieking or bad shrieking?  DD went through a phase where she thought it was hilarious to scream as loud as she could.  It was a short lived phase.

  • LOL!  I actually have been in that point... Harm was getting a tooth and he was a mess on a flight.  Finally I had to just walk him around.  Ironically our OBGYN we found out was sitting behind us during the flight.  I think in his mind he was like: I'm never referring her for infertility treatment again!

    Seriously Harm has been shrieking too.  He thinks it is adorable.  I shush him and give him the sign for no and a serious face.  I dunno if it helps but I think he is starting to get it is a no no.

    For church though I always have a ton of finger foods for him.  Full mouths can't screech Stick out tongue

  • It is good shrieking.  I think she was trying to get everyone's attention to notice how cute she is.  God forbid we not be awing over her and gossiping instead.
  • Double shot of benadryl? Hehehe. I kid. I have a screecher too.
  • DD and I took a transatlantic (8+hr) flight when she was in that stage.  The good news is that with the sounds of all the other people and the engines, her shrieking was barely noticed.  And, since it was out of happiness, when she was heard, most people found it cute.  Don't stress about it too much - she may be so distracted by all the people that she won't do it on the plane!
