When do babies stop screaming for food?

First time mum here!

To ask when did you babies stop screaming blue murder for their food?! DS is 8 months old and still goes from 0-100 very quickly for his food and he eats like a horse so he can't be starving! 🤣

Just wondering when all that calms down? I will assume it's when they can communicate more but I'm holding out hope it will be before then! 🤯😅

My three year old gets whingy and grumpy if he's hungry but he doesn't screech for it like his 13 month old baby brother does. I can't remember but I assume he stopped just screaming for food when he could talk?!

Urm…never sorry

It goes from screaming to whining about being hungry.

Honestly the whining is worse Grin

I have a side-by-side comparison and I'd take the whinging any day, in case you're feeling too discouraged, OP!

Thanks guys! I can deal with the screaming just fine, I'm just running around like a headless chicken usually trying to grab his bottle or plate him up some food! Such an impatient little soul! Acts like he hasn't been fed for like 24 hours 😅 sounds all normal then! I will await the whinging stage 🙃

Completely depends on the child. My 19 year still gets horrific hangry moments 🙄

Mine stopped screaming when he could sign “hungry” then stopped that when he could say it!

I remember quite fondly a phase when he was two or so when if he saw something promising like an ice cream van he would say “oh I am quite huuuuuungeeee”.

He’s 7 now and favours looking very sad like he’s posing for the Daily Mail and saying (while sighing) that he’s “very hungry”. I was just pointing out to him earlier that he could try “please may I have something to eat?” instead of going straight to distressed face. Or he could help himself.

So short answer - never apparently!

Her first "sentence" was signing more and grabbing hold of the high chair synthetic childminders 🤣

Fridafever · 27/03/2022 20:30

Mine could sign milk and he sometimes used to do it with both hands at me furiously, while wailing for added emphasis.

To be honest, I'm in my twenties and still get grumpy when I'm hungry Grin

pag2020 · 27/03/2022 22:27

Hahaha some of these replies are hilarious. The Daily Mail face had me cackling!!

He must get this trait from me as I very often get rather furious when zero food has passed these lips for a few hours
