Baby screams (not upset mostly)

My LO is 4 months next week and she has started to scream randomly. It’s almost as if she was talking but it’s just screams. For most part she isn’t unhappy - he also smiles inbetween. Is this some new way of communicating or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you!!

My baby is doing exactly the same thing! Sometimes it sounds like he is complaining but he's not upset. He smiles in between as well. He is 4 months old tomorrow :)

My little boy was 4 months yesterday and the last few days has been non-stop screaming and squealing - never upset just enjoying using his voice!

Glad I’m not the only one noticing this. My little girl is 4 months on the 19th and I feel like all she’s doing atm is screaming. Anyone else’s ears hurt?🙉😂

Oh I’m glad!! Thank you all for your advice! Glad it’s not a management complaint then 😂

Rosa does this (4 months on Monday)and honestly it drive me insane but she is just communicating I guess or she has found her voice, because if I look at her she smiles aha

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡
