Let's talk about why babies cry. Babies do not cry because they are spoiled. Babies cry because they don't have language yet. Parents can work their way through our checklist of 12 most likely reasons why Baby is crying. Getting to know your Baby is important because he, likely, has a different sound for each reason he may be crying. *See our "source" for more details.
12 Most Likely Reasons Babies Cry:
1. Hunger
2. A soiled diaper
3. In need of sleep
4. Wants to be held
5. Tummy troubles (gas, colic, and more)
6. Needs to burp
7. Too cold or too hot
8. Something small
9. Teething
10. Wants less stimulation
11. Wants more stimulation
12. Not feeling well
If your baby is still crying after you have gone through the checklist, check for too tight clothing discomfort, or possible constipation. Use your judgment to consider if it is now time to let the pediatrician weigh in.
