Do you recognize this phase? Screaming at eight months is a normal developmental milestone, indicating that babies are learning to use their voice, testing cause and effect (a loud noise elicits a reaction), and expressing their emotions. It is a precursor to language development.

When babies are in the process of learning to eat, they engage in practice. While you might perceive your baby as "just playing" when their hands are in their mouth, they are, in fact, preparing to eat. Exploring toys with their mouths and chewing on their fingers assists them in developing the oral motor skills and oral sensory processing necessary for safe eating. Play serves as practice, and practice leads to progress.

Teething is when a baby's first teeth push through their gums, usually starting around 6 months but varying widely, causing symptoms like drooling, fussiness, chewing on things, sore red gums, mild temperature, and sleep disruption, with relief often found through cool teething rings, clean finger gum massages, or distraction.

How to Provide Relief:

•Teething Rings: Offer clean teething toys, cooled in the fridge (not frozen) for gum soothing.
•Gum Massage: Gently rub your clean finger in a circular motion on their gums.
•Cold Cloths: A clean washcloth chilled in the fridge can provide comfort.
•Distraction: Cuddles, play, or a change of scenery can help.

When to See a
High fever (over 101°F or 38°C).
Diarrhea, vomiting, or coughing.
Any symptoms that cause concern.
