Six month old very 'shouty'

[Mrswellyboot]

Baby is generally very happy and smiles a lot

However, on his mat he shouts. But it's a loud as cinema
Is it just self expression or do you think he needs something (fed and changed)

Would it be pain from teething?

Is he unhappy? At some point they go through this phase, my Grandma used to call it 'finding their voice'.

I think we are quite conditioned to think that noise = bad when it comes to babies, but if it is reasonably cheerful noise then I really wouldn't worry about it.

Our DD did this around 8 months. Everywhere, on the floor, in her buggy, in highchair in cafes, everywhere. She stopped after a few weeks (thank goodness). We decided she just liked making a noise!

I don't think he is unhappy

I know his cheeks are often red but he likes a bit of fun and singing, same as always

Make he is figuring himself out. It so loud though

DD is 5m, and is doing the same thing. Quite happy, just SO loud...think she's shouting at her toys!
