Why does my baby grunt?

Question

My son grunts when he gets frustated...He's 7 months old, and I know he is starting to use his voice, but it really worries me. He's seems completely normal otherwise, right were he should be. I just don't understand how he can get so frustrated at such a young age, any one else experienced this??

Answer 1

I agree that it is frustration.  My daughter (8 months) grunts all day everyday unless someone is walking her around the house.  She is at the stage where she can crawl, stand up and walk along holding things but just can't do it herself yet.  She grunts all day unless she is being walked around by someone (or is out and about in the pram) and cries the minute they stop.  She did exactly the same thing before she could crawl properly too..  It does not last long but drives you crazy in the mean time...  I am hoping that it stops for good once she can walk and I am sure that your little one is going through the same frustration of wanting to get up and walk and just can't co-ordinate their little legs or hold their weight/balance properly yet.  Hope this helps you a little.
