What Causes Screaming A Lot Of Babies?

Posted on Tue, 1 Jul 2014

Question: My 4 month old baby just found his voice. He screams at everything, when happy, sad, bored even while playing. Now today when he starts to cry his voice is a bit raspy. Is this something to worry about?

there is nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Babies at this age normally scream a lot .
There is nothing to worry, even if the voice gets rusky. It will settle soon.
Their new found love to scream will settle in afew days
Meanwhile try diverting their attention with toys, esp musical ones to prevent them from screaming loud.

Wishing your baby good health

Regards
Dr Arun
