Squealing baby

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
So, my LO has taken to squealing really loudly when she gets excited or when she's bored and wants to do something new. My husband and I think it's hilarious and cute. We encourage it. She has only done it at home. I am going to my hometown for a week and staying with my best friend for a couple of days. I told her about it and she said, "have you talked to a doctor about that? that's is NOT okay." Her response seemed weird to me....what do you think?

    She might have thought you were concerned about it.  Squealing seems perfectly normal to me.  It's just baby trying out those vocal chords.

    My LO squeals a lot too- and REALLY LOUD!  But, she's happy and just excited, so I can't imagine anything is wrong with that.  I wouldn't worry.  Just be glad its happy squealing and not fussy squealing.  :)

    If it means something is wrong with your baby then there is something really wrong with mine because that is all she did for about 3 hours last night.  She was having so much fun and thought it was the greatest thing ever.  My neighbors could hear it outside and came over to see her and thought it was so cute.  I took a video of it and sent it to my parent.  She is happy and playing just squealing and loving it.  I wouldn't worry!

    Did your friend misunderstand??? Squealing is a normal developmental milestone! K does that all the time when she's delighted or when she wants attention. Totally normal.

    What would she expect a Dr. to do about squealing?  That's ridiculous, baby's squeal all the time.  I call it the pterodactyl stage.

    I literally just got back from our 4 month appointment.  The questionnaire specifically asked if she was squealing yet.  It's a 3-4 month milestone.

    Yep.  I'd be concerned if my baby didn't squeal.

    Does your bf not have children? Our LO just found what we called her 'screamy voice' last week. Now she does the high pitched scream/squeal when she's happy or excited. We try not to encourage it too much, sure it's cute at home, but it's less cute when trying to carry on a conversation with friends or when eating out with her. We tend to give her lots of smiles and attention when she's cooing, giggling, etc, but look slightly away from her when her squeals are at their most ear piercing.

    Loud, high pitched squeals are really, really, really normal for infants. Universal, I'd say.
