This is going to sound like a weird question, but my dd has been making a lot more noise lately. But the problem is, I can't tell if it's happy babbling, or fussing noises. She does it when I'm trying to put her to bed, and she's refusing. But she also does it when she's playing. It sounds like cooing, but with a very whining, insistent tone. When she makes it playing, it makes me think she's tiring of the activity. And when she's in the crib fighting sleep, I know she's not happy. But it's not crying, it's just this entirely new language. I thought by now I could understand her, but she's throw me for a loop with these different noises. Since she's making these sounds in the crib and not crying, I don't do pu/pd. I've actually left the room to see if she will settle but she just keeps on and on and on and getting worked up. I don't know if this is a type of cry and so if I leave the room I'm letting her CIO. But it's very hard to listen to it, so it's easier for me to just leave. And she won't settle with my hand on her, pt/shsh. I'm wondering if anyone else's baby makes these types of sounds and if you think it's fussing or developing language. I know this doesn't make too much sense, but I'm so confused I'm confusing in writing too. :cry:
