What to do if your five-month-old baby screams

Taking care of the baby is the responsibility of family members, but taking care of the baby is also very stressful. Babies have no self-awareness and no ability to express themselves, so it is difficult to figure out what the baby wants. Therefore, people are particularly troubled by this job of taking care of the baby. Babies will show abnormal behavior in certain situations. For example, a five-month-old baby screaming is also a common phenomenon. Let's take a look at what to do if a five-month-old baby screams.

Causes and treatment of screaming

1. Maybe you are wet, hungry, tired, sleepy, or injured.

When your baby is screaming, you should check to see if there is anything that makes him uncomfortable: Is the diaper wet? Did you get your hands scratched? Or haven't eaten in more than a few hours?

2. Maybe I feel lonely.

Babies often use screaming to ask their parents to get close and caress them. At this time, you should ask yourself: Are you so busy with work or housework that you neglect to pay attention to your children?

3. Perhaps it is because of emotional instability that one appears irritable and restless.

What you need to do at this time is to respond positively to your baby's feelings. You can hug him, touch him, or talk to him to calm him down.

4. Maybe he doesn’t want to be kept in a fence or crib for a long time.

You can gently move him to another place along with his favorite toys. For a young baby, knowing that you are by his side or a new and interesting environment can immediately divert his attention.

A baby's scream may not be as endearing as other behaviors, so how can you reduce its occurrence? From this moment on, you can control the volume of your voice and don't shout when talking to anyone, especially to your baby. We believe that when the baby's vocabulary increases, he will no longer irritate people's eardrums with screaming.

From the above explanation, the phenomenon of a five-month-old baby screaming is a stress-releasing behavior caused by the baby's emotions being stimulated. This is good for the baby, but very uncomfortable for the parents. Therefore, parents should also take good care of the baby and guide the baby when taking care of him.
