Hi all ,

My baby boy is 8 months old , from past 2 days he's not sleeping at night , he goes to bed by 10:30pm and wake up around 2 and he cries loudly at that time , then after that he sleeps around 5:30am only , he dnt have any stomach problem .. Since im staying in apartment im scared it will disturb my neighbour , and nowdays he likes to shout during his playtime , is this common ?

Pls advice .... Hetal replied. shouting is common from 7months onwards..your baby wants to express and talk to you and get your attention..helloww, congratulations..
talk to him,,teach him sign language,,he will stop shouting and listen to you..show him colourful pictures and playful music he will njoy it...shout with him once a while..he will stop doing it :))..njoy with him...people around your apartment knows that kids aare noisy..and you cant help.if your community staff asks you or complains you, tell them that i am trying my best to avoid his shouting but he is an active child and i cant help further. my dr says kids do that,,so i am not worried. tell them you are sorry for inconvinience but add that lively kids do that,,its playtime forthem.
Hetal replied. i want you to check the following :
1.try changing his diaper.
2.check for ne stuffy nose.
3. check his gums ,swollen, red then teething pain,,give him tylnol if he goes hysteric or out of control. also orajel is the best option for it.
4. check his stomach hard or not,,if hard, there is possibility that you need to keep an eye on his diet,esp the diet that is afternoon onwards.
5. how are his bowels,regular ? or not,,if not he needs to add in more fibre.
also, ne other new solid food taht you have introduced lately ?
also, ne other incident or noise that he has happen to hear it and got startled with it,,and he keeps remembering it all the time in sleep.
keep an eye,,ask your dr, nthing wrong,,,
check for his ears, ne redness around the openings,,or when he cries and shouts how does he react,where does he point his fingers,,that organ indicated pain.
take him for ride, i know it sounds crazy, in middle of night, but it works great ! atleast you wont be disturbing neone and make your baby sleep in lap..no problem..dont go on roads,,roam around your appartment community,,
rub his back from top to bottom and viz a versa,,may be some small gas burp is about to come and he is not able to do it on his own !
so check on that,,,babiees sometimes do that when they happen to see something that scares them..it might be nething around your apartment or house tht is big nd even though its a artistic piece of work for us, it might be scary for them.huge is scary for them !!!
check on that,,and he should be fine...
good luck
