7 month old constantly screaming

[Summersunshine91]

Hello, this is my very first post on Mumsnet but I just wanted some advice please.
I am a FTM and My DD is 7 months old and she has been screaming since she turned 4 or 5 months old. It started with just the odd scream but as time has gone on the screams are becoming constant and are very high pitched to the point where mine and my DH's ears are ringing.
I do understand that all babies scream but my DDs screams can be constant.
The screams can happen when she is happy or when she is tired so they do happen during any mood.
I am assuming the screaming is my DD's way of communicating or perhaps her way of dealing with teething as she is going through so much at this age with teething and weaning.
My DH and I play with our DD all of the time - ranging from playing with toys, singing songs, reading books, helping her to sit up etc so she is always entertained but she is also good at playing with her toys by herself if I ever needed to put the laundry away or make our lunches for example.
We do try to go out for walks as much as possible as she doesn't scream when we are moving as she is very curious of the world around her and likes to be nosy.
We are very lucky that DD has always been a great sleeper from the beginning so no problem with sleep (for now!).

Has anyone else's DC gone through a phase of constant high pitched screaming? And if so, when did the screaming start to ease off?

Thank you ☺️

So is it screaming like distressed screaming to communicate that she's not happy or is she screaming as in she's just learnt to do it and is using her voice as a bit of an instrument?

Forgot to ask, if she's happy on the move, is she also happy if she's somewhere where there is a lot going on, like Playgroup?

My little one did this. Every few days he would just do this high pitched shrieking constantly and it became very annoying! He’d do it for any reason - if he was excited about seeing bubbles, or angry because we were in his way, or even for no discernible reason when he was playing. He’s 11 months now and he’s not done it for a good few weeks. He will randomly have a day where he shrieks quite a bit, but nowhere like it was a few months ago. So it will calm down, I think it’s just their way of communicating their excitement / anger about stuff.
