My dau is 10 weeks old. She screams and screams. Is it that she wants attention? Please advice. When I carry her she keeps quiet and smiling always.

Your baby is still young hence would love to be held by you. Consider using a ring sling or baby carrier so you can be handsfree to do your things and have a happy baby? They will outgrow it. Don't worry. For a 10 week old, can consider these carriers: - ring sling - Kokadi Flip - Emeibaby - JPMBB PhysioCarrier - Ergo Adapt etc. Ring sling would be less warm, easy to machine wash and quick to dry. Downside is that baby's weight is on one shoulder so may not be ideal if you have a back/shoulder problem or a heavy baby. Usually mummies use ring sling first and switch to the buckle carriers when their child is heavier and with good neck control, around 4 months old onwards. Here are some local online retailers for ring slings. Prices start from $65. - http://www.warabeehs.com/#!sling/c1ddf - http://www.jarsoffluff.com/collections/ring-slings - http://smoochsmoochbaby.com/collections/ring-sling - http://www.fluffmail.com.sg/collections/ring-sling - http://www.careringsling.com/collections/carering-sling-textile - http://13thirteen.com.sg/shop/index.php?id_category=31&controller=category Videos on using ring sling with newborn https://youtu.be/e2BCdRfQAvQ https://youtu.be/bRdGksTvDwk https://youtu.be/d5s64mUBea8 Consider joining https://www.facebook.com/groups/babywearingsg/ for more info on babywearing and baby carriers.

All infants love to be held. When you hold your child, you stimulate pressure receptors that help his body relax. You can try the following tips so that you will not be too tired: Hold him in a sling or carrier. Do you pine to do thrilling two-handed chores like opening the mail? Get your arms back with one of these. Try a cradle or infant swing.  Accept help.  Few can resist holding a baby! Don't feel guilty about it.  Say, "Mom always comes back" then put him down and finish what you need to. Who knows, he may even learn to soothe himself.

It's natural for babies to cry and scream when they are put down/can't see you, it's a survival mechanism built into human beings, a sense of abandonment that kicks in pretty quickly in young babies because they can not survive without somebody else. At 10 weeks, it's not as if she's consciously thinking "I want just some attention, I'm going to scream until I get it". Be patient and it'll get better with age.

Mine also start the screaming affair after his 9 months old. He is going 10 months soon. He wants attention indeed cause usually he scares when he is being left alone for awhile and when he is excited or otherwise when my family members came home. Really scream like nobody business. Even when outside at times during the public transport rides, usually I give him snacks to stop his screaming a.

It certainly sounds as though she is for attention. She is getting more alert and aware of her surroundinqs and is experimenting how she can call for attention. Try talking to her and showing her toys. You may not need to carry her all the time.

i think she is trying to gain your attention. She probably feel secured when u carry her. Try to distract her a little, sing her a song and see if she gets better. Need to calm her a little :)

she feel unsecure talk to her nicely that you would like soft tones, and reward her by giving her favourite foods.
