Hellobee Boards

Not too long like at @blackbird: said. I believe it was a week or two.

@Foodnerd81: Unfortunately, I don't have quite as positive news as @blackbird: & @Pumuckl:. Our screeching phase is ongoing still and it's definitely been over a month. We just keep trying to shush them, but it's sooooo annoying. It's made worse by the fact that they apparently extra love the sound a screech makes in the car, so that's how the now entertain themselves on all car trips. It's suuuuper fun.

My DD just started shrieking this week! She always takes a second to catch her breath then let it all out and then do it all over again. She's not upset and doesn't cry after, she's just testing her voice. She sounds like what I imagine a baby pterodactyl must have sounded like. I hope it passes soon!

Yep - right there with you. LO is nearly five months old and she loves to screech! Not distressed, not upset, just 'singing' as we call it. It drives me absolutely insane - especially when she 'sings' to herself in her cot at 4:00 in the morning and wakes up her 2 year old sister. It's super, super fun, ha.

She's been doing it for a few weeks now, on and off, and shows no sign of stopping any time soon.

Oh, I love the shrieking for no reason.... because it makes a change from the angry, frustrated, whiney shrieking!!

I literally posted almost the exact same thing a week or so ago about my almost 9 month old. I want to rip my ears off and there's no stopping it. Unfortunately no advice, haha. Just support! The best advice I kept getting basically was it's a phase. Hoping that's the case.
