My DD2 is loud. Very loud. And very high pitched. Seriously, when she screams, people say they've never heard anything like it. Strangers stare at me in the street even if she's just grumbling. She sounds like somebody is trying to murder her.
She's a fairly contented 7 month old, so fortunately doesn't full on scream that much. But even just her chatting or moaning or look at me scream is really starting to wind me up. Unfortunately she's also not such a good sleeper as DD1, and screams on and off during the night. I only have to go into her once to feed her usually, but her brief cries wake me up and then I take ages to get back to sleep as I lie there waiting for another cry.
DD1 (2.4) also imitates her, so when they're both together I have two girls screaming at each other. I've had some success in getting DD1 to scream 'quietly', but only some. DD2 also screams anytime DD1 goes anywhere near her, even when she's only patting her head or kissing her.
I'm seriously starting to fantasise about adoption. Has anyone else had this? Any tips on how I can stop this winding me up so much? I also think that, because her scream is so bad, she gets attention almost straight away, so maybe she's learnt that screaming is the way to go? And then we'll never stop the night feeds....
Going quietly insane here. Help!
