Change in cry

lancomechica · October 2013

LO used to...until yesterday have this very sweet little baby cry. He is a little congested right now with a cold but his cry has changed to more of a scream mixed with crying. Is this just part of development? I think he may be "testing" his voice.

Isaac has been doing this too. I'm starting to get concerned. He's 10 weeks.

My LO is 11 weeks...I forgot to mention that.

Yes! Mine too. Sounds more like a big boy scream now.

Ours has been doing this too. I chalked it up to getting older/learning new way to scream/maybe teething? Has he been to the dr. for his cold?

Yes, esp in the last few days.

@ljs4117 heading to doc in the morning. Noticed congestion today wasn't sure if the two were linked or not...

Yup the cry has definitely changed.

My LO had an ear piercing scream in the beginning. It's not as bad anymore unless he is really pissed off, mostly when the bottle doesn't come fast enough. He's used to me just wiping out a boob. He is not a patient boy.

We now have a screamer over here! It started around the 8 week wonder week

Newborns are born with their voice boxes high in their tracheas to help prevent aspiration. Between 2 and 3 months, the voice box drops and changes the sound of the cry. I was just noticing the other day that Finn no longer has the little baby cry anymore. He's pretty laid back usually, but if he's pissy, he has no problem screaming to let us know.

Right there with you. Her cries are definitely different. If she gets pissed, overtired or is in pain she can really burst your ear drums with her scream.
