Baby Sounds
As a new parent, I realized that there are more sounds that babies make aside from their crying. I realized this on the first few months since my child was born. Here are a couple of the noises that I noticed:
Sigh. Most babies breathe irregularly especially on their first few months. When you notice that they seem to sigh, it means that the brain is taking over the breathing process.
Gurgles. Babies do not know how to swallow extra saliva yet not until they are close to a year old. It would either spill or be trapped near the throat area and the result of this is the gurgle.
Coos. After a few months, the baby is experimenting on words and he is planning to say his first word. Before blurting it out, he will say a couple of coos.
These sounds are perfectly normal. However, be watchful for sounds that include high pitched whistling since it may be a problem with the child’s respiratory system.
