Baby doesn’t growl

[urbanlegends]

I was just FaceTiming with a friend, and she showed me her 4 month old growling. I looked it up and it said babies will growl starting at 4 months, and mine has never done that. She squeals and makes m and b consonants, hasn’t babbled yet. She’s going to be 8 months old next week. Is this something I should be concerned about?

@urbanlegends lol growl?? What? My baby has never growled.

@urbanlegends I hope this isn’t like a troll post (it sounds like one so no offense) but babies do things differently at different times. My son is six months and has never growled at all. He’s made all sorts of noises like roaring and learning to cough but that’s because he’s copies what he sees us do. Your baby should be babbling at some point, my son does it now. But we also talk to him and copy his sounds and say them to him! Hope that helps a little?

Edit: I genuinely thought it was a joke so that’s my bad but I edited my comment to further explain.

@kathleenp980 Is there a reason you’re being rude? I’m just looking for advice

@urbanlegends I’m not being rude at all, I edited the comment to explain further, another commented also said the same thing. But again not all babies do the same thing.

@kathleenp980 It was on the checklist that my pediatrician gave me to fill out, so clearly they do.

@urbanlegends I’ve never seen growling on any milestone checklist I’ve ever seen

@urbanlegends Well, growling is not on the CDC’s milestone checklist if that makes you feel any better. My son has never growled (or barked for that matter) and he’s a year old

@evanlooksuptothealmighty he just hasn’t entered his true werewolf form yet. Wait until a full moon.

@urbanlegends Just because it’s up there doesn’t mean your baby is going to do it. On the checklist for 4 months it said babies should turn their heads responding to their name, my baby didn’t do it until 6 months so it’s fine if a baby doesn’t doing something on a checklist. It’s not really anything to worry about. A pediatrician will tell you the same.

@urbanlegends My LO started growling last week, Im hoping we can work on his gutturals and his clean vocals before he’s 6 months old.
