12 months old loud screaming

Hi
FTM here and since my LO was a baby she would cry really loud - like a high pitch cry. Now is she 12 months and will cry very loud mostly when she is fighting to sleep. She also screams when she is left alone or when she is upset.
The nursery where she is has raised this saying that her screams are very loud and that I should do something to tackle it.
I try to tell her not to scream but she won't stop until she gets what's she wants...
I thought all babies screamed until the nursery mentioned it.... any tips?? What am I doing wrong?

I put a post on recently about my LO and his speech development and mentioned he screams a lot and like you've described it's very loud. I don't really have any advice to be honest but I think it's unreasonable expecting you to get your LO to understand it's wrong in their eyes, she's only 12 months old! Hope you manage to get it sorted

I would ask her nursery what exactly they expect you do to tackle a baby doing what babys do and crying. She is nowhere near old enough for any kindof consequences and her language will be very limited. I would just conteract it with the behaviour you'd like from her eg say in a soft and quiet voice as possible that we use our quiet voices to get things. I would make sure she isn't getting anything she wants from the screaming so that she gets the message that she needs to find other ways of communicating her needs. Then I'd tell the nursery to do their job and not moan about a young baby screaming Grin good luck xx
