Growling? what is this behavior?

Kaelyn did it around that age and I always worried that it was reflux related. But then Alex did it as well and her reflux was fairly well controlled by that point. I think that it’s probably developmental. They just like hearing the noise.

I think the answer to your question is one of my favourite in terms of why babies do what they do… “because they can”. My babies always made strange sounds once they realized that they could make them. I think they like listening to themselves! It’s funny.

Addy loved to growl! We thought it was so cute and she would do it to get attention if all eyes weren’t on her! I think its mainly a developmental phase.

I didn’t mean to sound condescending! I think it’s funny that once they realize that they can do certain things, that they take delight in doing it for no reason whatsoever. Hailey’s new thing is that she loves to strip… why?… because she figured out that she could!

Ok,

I posted this exact same question a couple of weeks ago and got many replies that others’ babies with reflux were doing the same thing, but I’ve also talked to friends of mine who have babies without reflux, and many of theirs do it too, so I am now thinking that in my case at least it’s a developmental thing… Caden is not currently showing any signs of reflux (sour breath gone, not fussy, sleeping better, eating great), so I’m assuming that for us it is develomental. I’m sure it’s possible that it could be reflux related for some, but I wouldn’t automatically assume it’s that.
