It gets kinda hectic. <br /><br />I, too, am in an apartment, and I worried about the babies crying at night, and screaming, and waking the neighbors, but I honestly don't think they hear it. I mean, all I can really hear of them is their footsteps, but never any vocal sounds, and I've seen them in the parking lot--they are just as noisy as the next family.<br /><br />And the screaming phase does pass, just follow Jane's advice. We tried it, and it worked for us!MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12118706847956725360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111959418563495652.post-83868703095500077102010-10-27T17:14:08.920-07:002010-10-27T17:14:08.920-07:00What great advice.What great advice.Handsfullmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080603359227234634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111959418563495652.post-61418318401841821442010-10-25T12:06:27.925-07:002010-10-25T12:06:27.925-07:00My little man was one on Sept 4th and we had the e...My little man was one on Sept 4th and we had the exact same problem! The screaming could literally bring me to tears and induce an incredible sense of discouragement - not to mention a headache. <br />He is our only child and my response was to indulge and give him whatever it was that he wanted - realizing that he didn't have any other way to communicate. My husband would yell or put his hand over his mouth or give some other negative attention to the behavior out of frustration. <br />The pediatrician gave the exact same advice as Jane - don't respond in any way positive or negative; ignore the behavior and it will diminish. I am happy to say that our screaming fits have almost disappeared entirely!! <br />Hang on, it will pass and you will soon be worried about some other phase you didn't expect :)Suzie LeCheminanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540925239955445971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111959418563495652.post-89803594000845251932010-10-25T10:05:45.622-07:002010-10-25T10:05:45.622-07:00Have you considered teaching your son baby signs? ...Have you considered teaching your son baby signs? That may help a little with the communication issue if your son isn't quite ready to talk. <br /><br />Anyways, I fee your pain. I had a screamer too-- Jane's advice is right on the money here. Riding out the phase is what it took for us.Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784528619251594328noreply@blogger.com
