Babies cry not only when they are hungry. There are many reasons behind each cry. For new mom, you might feel confuse about what your baby wants. Soon enough, you will be to tell the differences of need in baby’s crying.

Why does baby cry?

Hungry. When a baby is a few weeks old, he/she will need more milk than what we expected. Give your baby milk when he/she shows some signs of hunger (looking for mom’s nipple or anything that touch the baby’s cheek, suck his/her hand, cries, etc). It’s not a bad idea to give your baby milk when they’re hungry but not too hungry. In some cases, nanies tend to be very hard to be comforted when they’re really hungry.

Lonely. When a baby becomes calm and stay calm right after you hold him/her, means your baby misses you. Baby’s need to be close with the parents is real. You are not pampering your baby just by holding him/her when she/he needs it.

Too Hot or Too Cold. Feel the back or stomach area to check if your baby is warm or cold. Adjust his/her clothing to make them feel comfortable.

Too Much Impulses. Too many crowds passing by, talking, and touching the baby in certain time might exhaust him/her. give your baby some space to feel calm and peacefull. Putting your baby in a quiet room, will calm his/her feeling.

Shock. Sometimes baby makes sudden moves, shocks, and cries. Wrap a blanket around and hold your baby will sooth the feeling.

Wet Diaper. Some babies don’t mind about wet diaper, some become very peculiar about it.

In Pain. A baby might feel unwell or uncomfortable. A safety pin might poke the skin or a sharp zipper/cloth’s label might hurt the skin.

Sleepy. Several babies tend to cry a lot before they go to bed.

Character. A more sensitive, energetic baby needs more time to adjust him/herself with the new environment.
