Why Do Babies Scream at the Top of Their Lungs

Toddlers are easily influenced by older children. If your toddler see's an older child acting out and having a fit they will do the same.

As you probably know babies cannot meet their own needs. If you checked all the babies needs on this list. It's safe to allow your baby to cry out their frustrations.

When babies are born; Babies are constantly learning about their surroundings. That includes communication!

Communication is one of the first things that babies learn. This is when the temper tantrums started shortly after birth. Let me explain; baby cries, the parents tend to the baby's needs. Parents play with the infant making funny noises all that good stuff.

The baby begins to cry. The baby wants some attention. We as parents are happy to give our baby some attention. Now the baby is crying for no reason. Nothing appears to be wrong.

The baby continues to cry. We do not know what is wrong with the baby so we pick the baby up.

Baby stops crying. You lay the baby down. Your baby starts crying again. The baby just learned that all it has to do is cry. Now the baby learns every time I cry I get attention. Baby learns a game. How many times can I get my parents to pick me up a day?

Babies soon get bored so they throw their bottle on the ground while screaming at the top of their lungs. The baby thinks this should get them moving. I'll get your attention is what the baby is learning. Parent picks the bottle up give the bottle back to the baby, only to have the baby throw the bottle across the floor again.

The key is to recognize when the baby or toddler is having a fit or if something is really wrong. If your baby is screaming at the top of their lungs. Look almost paralyzed as if the baby is afraid to move or appears too tensed up and taking short breaths something is wrong. Tend to your child right away.

If baby cries or screams slams them self-down or an object. You have yourself a tantrum; do not reward your baby by pick them up or by giving them a bottle. Continue to do whatever it is you were doing. Allow the baby to cry out the frustration.

Wait until the baby stops crying, let the baby catch its breath and calm down. It's so hard to listen to your screaming baby but you must resist the temptation of giving the baby any attention.

If you want the temper, tantrums to stop you have to be in control otherwise the baby is in control.

Being consistent is the key to stopping the temper tantrums. Do not allow anyone to reward your child as long as they are having a temper tantrum. If you or anybody else rewards or pays attention to the child while they're having a fit. You will have to start the whole process all over again and the fits will get worse.

Every time you give in your child. Your child learns if they cry harder and longer you will give in to them. Giving into the temper tantrum will get worse not better.
