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.

Hey mommas This post is for the moms that are breast feeding or plan to...it's just an advice..I know n understand that It can be a little hard for the 1st few days but it's better not to pump until u have enough milk supply...which is mostly after a week later bcuz I did that when I was a first time mom n didnt know any better...I started pumping the 2nd day n that damaged my nipples cuz I wasn't producing enough milk to pump n I didn't know...so I kept pumping for a long time n my nipples literally cracked and it was very painful n at times my nipples would even bleed...then I had to tell my doc and she prescribed me the ointment Lanolin...it did help but still it took a long time for my nipples to recover...also want to let u moms know that it's better to just breastfeed bcuz when u switch between formula n breast milk it can cause Colic for some babies...If ur a 1st time mom n don't know what is Colic...it's a severe gas problem in babies...n it's very painful for babies and very disturbing for u cuz the baby cries for hrs n there's nothing really u can do to stop it...I'm sure that doesn't happen to all the babies cuz everyone is different...but it did happen with my daughter...so this time I plan to just breastfeed n not give her formula as well...so just wanted to share my experience with y'all..sorry for the long post but I hope it can help y'all.

What do you think about giving chamomile tea to babies from birth? My partner's family drives me crazy saying that the few times my baby cries, she cries because her belly hurts because I don't give her tea. That has caused me a lot of problems with my daughter's father. She's 2 months old.

my son is 5 days old he is really really fussy. he cries more than any baby i’ve ever seen. he won’t sleep in his crib he HAS to fall asleep on my chest/tummy. could it be the formula isn’t agreeing with him or may he have colic? because this isn’t normal.

He may have colic but sometimes them babies cry and we could do everything and still not be right about why so it’s hard to determine ? is his stomach hard ?

Do baby stretches. Lay them down on their back grab their feet and kinda push their legs back and forth up to their stomach. I did this with my baby brother and it helped him a lot

Dear new moms who want a hot shower but can't find the time, have nobody to watch the baby, or have a partner but the baby cries every time they hold 'em and it stresses you out, you can have a hot shower. Put baby to sleep once you start seeing those sleepy cues. Set him/her in their car seat, put one of their blankets over the top, and gently rock it from side to side. It'll be dark and baby'll think you've gone out for a drive. Babies love car rides. Once you know baby is asleep, go and start the water for your shower. Then bring the car seat in (still blanketed) and put it on the bathroom floor. The sound of the running water is relaxing and it should lull baby back to sleep and buy you some time if they have a light start-up. Take your shower in peace for as long as this gets you. Wash your pretty face. Condition your lovely hair. Cry where you can not be witnessed and feel judged if you need to. Baby feels they are being held so they are most likely to go into a deep sleep and you don't have to worry. Your baby is right there if they need you, you get a moment to yourself, and you can rest easy knowing your baby isn't screaming their head off. No more phantom baby cries.

How can I have my 3 month old take a pacifier? Baby startles awake even when swaddled and cries and I have to rock her back to sleep.

My little girl only takes ONE pacifier! I thought she just didn’t like them, then I got one as a gift and that’s the only one she uses! Also I heard some can be too big or too small for them!

Does anyone have suggestions towards family? Every time my baby cries when he’s hungry or is getting a little fussy, my family likes to yell at me that I’m making him cry by hurting him. They all live in my house with me and I tried kicking them out a few times already and they never want to leave. They won’t respect my rules if my home and boundaries that I’ve set in place for me and my baby.

Give them 30 days notice. go to court and have them removed. Or call the cops and say you feel threatened and they need to be removed for your house never to return.

I gave them notices before I got pregnant with him and they still didn’t get out. I have them 9 months to get out and never did. I’ve tried calling the cops and taking them to court, however where I’m from they won’t do anything unless is a criminal case and ever since the pandemic started our courts system is only taking cases that were processed before the pandemic and aren’t taking any new ones.
