POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. It's common for babies to explore new sounds and sensations as they grow. The "hemmmmmmm" noise your baby is making may be due to the following reasons:
1. Vocal Exploration At 6 months, babies experiment with their vocal cords to explore different sounds. It’s a natural part of their development and a precursor to speech. 2. Attention-Seeking Your baby might have discovered that making this noise gets your attention, and they may repeat it for interaction or fun. 3. Sensory Exploration Babies often use their throat and voice to explore new sensations. This sound could be their way of feeling vibrations or textures in their throat. 4. Teething Teething can cause discomfort in the mouth and throat, leading to unusual sounds. Check for signs of teething, such as drooling, gum irritation, or chewing on objects. 5. Congestion or Mucus If the noise sounds raspy or gurgling, it could be due to mucus in the throat from mild congestion. Monitor for other symptoms like a runny nose or cough. What You Can Do
Observe Behavior:
If the baby is happy, playful, feeding well, and has no other concerning symptoms, the sound is likely harmless.
Encourage Interaction:
Mimic the sound back to your baby to make it a playful activity. This supports their language development.
Check for Discomfort:
Look for signs of discomfort like irritability, fever, or difficulty feeding, which might indicate a health issue. When to See a Doctor The noise persists along with symptoms like: Difficulty breathing. Refusal to feed. Persistent coughing or wheezing. Signs of pain or discomfort.
